so i arrived here in Tijuana yesterday was picked up by samuel sr. He was a very polite gentelman enjoy the ride with him into tijuana. He brought me directly to Florence Hospital which i asked i thought i was suppose to be at mi doctor. Well he replied they told me florence. There i met with melissa sweetest girl ever i asked her about me being at mi doctor but she explain that they were over the limit for patient at mi doctor. She said sometimes when you get there they would tell you no room sorry ar tried to put you in a room with another patient who is not even the same patient for dr garcia. She told me doctor Garcia dont like the idea so that's the reason i am here at Florence where i get my own room more privacy. Yesterday i was here for about 30 minutes before i started my blood work n then place into a room. I was in my room for another 15 minutes before they did my ekg n exray n i was fully prep. I met with so many different doctors all was super professional n nice. They explain the whole procedures n what to expect. Melissa explain i might be number 1 or 2 patient. I was super tried so times after that i have no ideas. I know i was taken into the op room on a bed which they lined to with the op bed and then transfer me onto the op bed. I didnot have to get up n climb onto the operating bed as i think someone had mentioned before. In the op room i met doc luna very handsome man n there was another doc cant keep up with all the names super nice. I wish i could remember him name because he stands out:) oh did i mentioned i met dr garcia before the procedure he came to my room and explain the whole procedure very nice gentleman. The only thing i can remember after that is i woke up in my room and wow the gas pain. You can hear me crying from anywhere. I guess i was prepared but not that prepared the pain was horrible. I wanted to walk but the nurse was telling me not yet because something about anesthesia. Dr luna come n visit and asked the nurse to give me an injection n that really works. I was up and walking after every two hours. The nurses here are super great Anything i needed i got. As of this moment i feel super fine! Thank god. So thats where i am at this moment and finally on the other side. Yay me:)

      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.
