Last supper in Tijuana



Recommended Posts

Hi,

I am going to TJ for my band in May and I was wondering whether anyone could recommend a good restaurant near the Hotel Lucerna for my 'last supper'?

Thanks,

Laura

Thanks Jack, but I already know what I will be eating for my first supper post-op (jello and broth - body willing). I don't really have 'last supper syndrome', I'm just looking for a nice place to eat.

Cheers,

Laura

I was banded by Ortiz in March of last yr and I went to a nice Mexican place across the street from the pharmacy (farmacia) which is directly across the street from the Lucerna. There is also a pizza Hut right next to the Hotel too. What we did is go to the Revolucion area (cab is like $2) and there is alot of yummy restaurants. We had some drinks and chips at another mexican restaurant on the strip ( I know, I ate ALOT before my surgery but I was starving...LOL :welldoneclap: ) Good luck to you!!

The BEST restaurant is right in the Lucerna next to the pool. The food is exquisite!! There is a pianist that plays while you eat. Now this is grilled fare. If you want Mexican food, there are plenty of those around, too.

Whatever you do don't eat the Carne Asada that Dr. Miranda recommends from the Hotel Lucerna restaurant (that's in the lobby). It was so fatty I couldn't even eat it. Yuck!

Mexico doctors don't recommend the pre-operative diet (liquids only)? What's up with that?

I did have to do the pre-op diet. I had to do 10 days of Protein Shakes for Breakfast and lunch plus a Lean Cuisine for dinner. I know that the diet each person is prescribed is based on their health and start weight. However, the day of my pre-op testing the nutritionist, Dr. Miranda, said I could have a light dinner that night and recommended the carne asada. Hope that clarifies my previous statement!

      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.
