My surgery went very bad I am typing this from the ICU of an American hospital in San Diego. I am not well enough to type the whole story but my mother had to call the American Consulate to get me out. He refused me pain meds telling me I was complaining over nothing and he screwed up during the surgery and caused internally bleeding which he had to completely cut me open for. My stitches are oozing tons of blood and I am waiting on an OR and surgeon to take me back into surgery. BEWARE of Dr Quinones in Tijuana Mexico

Ooh my lord we are all praying for you. Stay positive and don't lose your faith. I'm cheering you on and sending you positive vibes. Thus made me sick

Crstalww, you are far too kind....Today I've been still feeling numb, no real emotions and my mom that just recently arrived here to Atlanta asked did I feel nervous and I told her not yet...Finally getting the chance to read your message to me is what spoke to my spirit...I now feel that I have no reason to be nervous, anxious, or scared. I am excited to know I have the chance for a do over in life and some will never have that as an option...In these last few days I have been blessed beyond measure and I know I will continue to be favored bc I am a believer that my God is a healer...Thank you, ur words definitely provided the clarity I needed..Surgery is at 830 so shld hear something by the afternoon. Thank you for always providing positive insight.

Did any recent post ops started their purée stage yet? If so when did your surgeon allow it?

Been walking and sipping and feel pretty good! Yup, the gas pains are a bit#!%*- but not debilitating. Hope every one else is doing well too!! Will check back in tomorrow.

      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.
