Recommended Posts

The closer I get to my surgery date the more nervous I become. I'm hope I can stick to the Pre-Op diet!

I am nervous about the pre op diet as well. My birthday is on June 12th (surgery on June 11th) so I wanted to have a last meal/ B-day meal but not sure how that is gonna work. How long is your preop diet? Mine is two weeks.

My diet is 2 weeks as well. Doesn't sound like a long time but I'm sure it's gonna be a challenge

Hi ya'll, new here. Starting pre-op diet today. What made you choose Dr Garcia? I have been researching Almanza and Aceves? I'm in the beginning of this, don't even have a passport, but I'm rushing it. I'll have to look into Dr Garcia.

I have 2 friends that went to Dr. Garcia a couple of months ago and they both said what a wonderful person he is and what a fantastic job he did. I've also been all over these forums and have read nothing but positive things about Dr Garcia. As for the passport Alma told me that a birth certificate and ID would be valid

Hi,

 

I'm going to Dr. Lopez in Tijuana June 22 and it is getting here faster than I thought it would. I'm nervous/ excited.

Hi,

 

I'm going to Dr. Lopez in Tijuana June 22 and it is getting here faster than I thought it would. I'm nervous/ excited.

 

I'm in the beginning phase of looking for a surgeon. Another nurse I worked with went to Dr. Alvarez and she told me she went alone and was treated very well. Dr. Alvarez charges 8700.00, however, after searching around the board I'm leaning towards going to Dr. Garcia, I've read good things about him. I feel so nervous about thinking about doing WLS and it's crazy, some days I'm like I can lose this weight on my own; honestly I've tried so many diets they work for a little while and then I'm off of it and the pounds I lost comes back with a vegence. I don't have anyone to go with me; so I'm extremely worried about that. Although, I'm hoping before the time is here I have someone to go with me.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
