I'm super excited and super nervous all at the same time. Having surgery in Tijuana is the most gutsy thing I've ever done

Well u go girl! I wouldn't have been opposed to MX, but my insurance does cover it. I would have done whatever it took to get it if it wasn't covered though. I'm pretty sure after all my deductibles and co-pays it might be more expensive than MX! I've heard great success stories from MX. ;)

Thanks for starting the thread - I just got the call today that my surgery is set for April 8th, too! After years of thinking about this, it's hard to believe it will all be happening in just under 6 weeks! Excited and cannot wait! :0)

I haven't recieved my info on the Protein shakes or pre op diet yet. Which have you heard are best?

I haven't heard that any are the "best" only been told to get samples and try them to decide which one I like the best. I've also ordered, and received, all my bariatric Vitamins for post surgery.

I've tried two so far, one was sooo gross (52e chocolate). I tried one that was decent (lean body on the go vanilla ice cream) I got both at an HEB plus. I have some Bariatric Advantage that my doctors office recommends, gonna try one in the am. I've hear a lot of good reviews on premier from costco, but haven't made it over there to get some. Gotta get in gear, it's right around the corner. My pre op diet starts march 27 th.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
