If so, check in here with first name and sugery date and I'll look for you in the halls!

I'm Katrina and my surgery is August 27. Would love to "see" who all will be there at the same time! The information is all spread out on the boards in different posts and I'm having trouble remembering who is with me. :)

Hi! I'm considering the surgery and I will have to be self-pay. How can I find individuals who had the sleeve done in Mexico? Please help me. I've built up the courage after five years...it's time to roll. I want to know who I have to contact and paperwork procedures, costs, etc. Thanks in advance.

Ok. I just spoke with Alma and she sent my paperwork. I have to get clearance from my cardiologist (heart stent) next week then put my deposit. She said that hopefully I will be in the September group for Dr. Garcia in Tijuana. I am super excited. Thanks again for the feedback.

Chickadee73, I am craving food of any kind actually. I think my Protein Drink tastes sweet enough to keep away the sweet cravings, because what I REALLY want is some kind of meat and potatoes combo... Craving carbs for sure!!! We will get through this!!! :P

Depends on when I weigh myself lol. This morning, naked, without an ounce of food or Water in me, it showed 7 lbs. After work, with clothes but no shoes, it only showed 4 lbs. STILL. First time the scale has gone down in many moons! I'll take it.

This morning, I am down a total of 8lbs! I try to only weigh in the mornings. I Don't want to psych myself out by weighing after I've been drinking Water & eating. I'm feeling alot better & more in control today. In 1 week I will be starting a totally new life, and I couldn't be happier about it! Will be looking for you in the halls bigintexas! :D

      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.
