I would really like to keep in touch and encourage each other – it’s really great that we’re both in the same city. – text me 702.539.5397

My dr takes care of all that. I sent the paperwork, he signs it and scans it back. Dr. Illan and Omar are very customer service oriented. That is an understatement actually.


Hi
Are you getting nervous! I am so very nervous.

I am getting nervous. I start pre-op diet Monday. It seems everyone will be at the Marriott. I will be at Hotel Lucerna. Elanasal perhaps we can keep in touch and encourage one another...

I'm having surgery on April 17 with Dr. Garcia in Tijuana. I met another girl online who's actually decided to go with him on the same day so we will be doing it "together" which is nice. Anyone else near the 17th in Tijuana?

April 17th Dr. Elias Ortiz in Tijuana. Arriving on the 16th and staying at the Marriott. (I haven't been too freaked out about this but as the date gets closer...I think I may be getting anxious, nervous, excited...)

Hi Kate2014,

I sure hope to run into all the surgery patients at Marriott while there.... I guess we will be the ones running around with drains attached to us :)

Are flinstone vits approved??? That would make things easier ....

I'm going with Premier Protein for convenience,

But may look into others if they are available for me and recommended..... So far the highest recommended all have to be ordered online.

Good luck to us all with liquids.... They say the hunger can be really hard to take :(

I will not be at the Marriott. I am staying at Lucerna Hotel but maybe I will see people while site seeing :) My favorite Protein Powder is body fortress at Walmart. No Protein aftertaste or smell.

Rhoste,

I tried a new Protein today that was tasty....body fortress, strawberry flavored. It should be available at your local Walmart. I mixed one scoop with 5 ounces of Water. A single scoop has 30 grams of protein, so it doesn't take long to drink. As for Flintstones, I honestly didn't ask if they were okay. I did just order some sublingual Calcium and B12 from walmart online. Don't know how they will taste though.

My surgery is scheduled for the 11th. Starting liquids tomorrow! My mom was going to go with me, but my sister just received a horrible diagnosis of stage 4 ovarian cancer and she's going to be with my sister through surgery and chemo. My sister encouraged me to still have the surgery, and I'm going to. I'm awfully scared to be doing it alone now. Hope I can meet a few of you and find some camaraderie. Viva Mexico!

      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.
