By this time next week, I will be in Mexico for my same day surgery. I am super excited and a bit nervous. I've gotten so much info from the forum in the past week, and so much support, I can honestly say I'm kind of ready! Waiting on my Protein Shakes and cute compression socks from UPS... they always deliver late in the day. Grrrrrr.

I travel super light, all I expect to bring will fit in a backpack. And hopefully not bring too many souvenirs back home. Lol

I was wondering about the packing part! How long are you staying in Mx? I'm going in July and want to take what I need, but not too much as we can only lift so much afterwards and going on and off a plane, i don't want too bring to much!... Congrats on the countdown till your big day! I know you will do great and can't wait to hear how it all went!! Whih MD are you going with? I'm having mine with Dr Garcia at florence Health! Take care! :)

I am packing super light! I don't wear makeup. hair will be in a ponytail. Extra undies and socks. Two books and my phone. Hand lotion, breath mints , Chapstick and a blanket. I'm only staying three days because of same day surgery. That extra day waiting seemed too much for me. I'm with Dr. Garcia at florence as well. I can't wait to give a detailed review! That means ill be done lol

Wow only two more days. I'm wondering if I'm wearing my self out. I've been working midnight shift and running errands with my mom preparing for leaving my kids. Sunday ill be working 4-12. I'll get home and nap for a couple hours. Then a two hour ride to the airport. My flight is at 645 and I'll arrive at 855. And then right off to the hospital for check in and surgery. I think the fact that I'm sooo busy helps me. Only thing bugging me, is a crazy backache because I can't take my Tramadol.

      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?

      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.
