1 week from today!! So excited! I started my Pre-Op diet with a cold and no appetite ( blessing in disguise) I feel lucky that it hasn't been as bad as I thought. I feel like I'm doing it wrong. shakes and salad and Protein is what they told me... Hmm. I think the straight liquids may be the real test!! Wish me luck!

All good thoughts and positive energy coming your way. It would be great to hear how you are doing and how was your experience with the revision surgery. Take care until then.

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?

I am booked with Dr Kelly on the 17th :). It's coming up fast!

Good luck to all of you ladies!!

I just returned home from my surgery with Dr.Garcia and Ready 4 a Change and I must say i was VERY WELL TAKEN CARE OF!!!! I will write a review and everything when I get a chance! One word of advice; even if u feel like u are %100 when u check back in to the hotel, TAKE YOUR PAIN MEDS!!! I thought I was ok without them because I was feeling great...until the pain meds from the hospital wore off. OMG!! I was crippled over, couldn't sleep, couldn't walk upright, etc. TAKE YOUR PAIN MEDS!!!!

      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.
