Tijuana surgery May 29th?



Recommended Posts

Is anyone else going to do the weight loss surgery in Tijuana at the end of May? I am super nervous for mine, and my whole family thinks I'm crazy for going to Mexico.

I'm getting so excited, looking at all these pictures, I can't wait I wish I could go now so I could start loosing weight, I'm going to have to buy a few things to wear for summer or warmer weather now and I don't want to, but I can't wear my sweat shirts and jeans till May. So frustrated right now and getting more depressed as it warms up cause I know I won't be comfortable in my clothes I have now and I'm going to have to buy something.

I'm having my surgery with dr. Ponce de leon through wls-for-a-betterlife. I am beginning to struggle with the "last meal" syndrome. :/

I already have my last meal planned. It will be at Eskimo Joe's in Stillwater, OK when I take my team to the Special Olympic Summer Games. I did stop all caffine Sunday. I figured I needed Spring Break to kick caffine, I could not work with a major thumping in my head. So far I have figured out that food is more mental than necessary.

I'm going the end of may, I'm have surgery may 30, can't wait, the closer it gets the more nervous I get. I have 3 friends here that have done it and 2 more headed there April and May. The last lady that had it done is down 21 lbs. In 23 days, one then it's down 100lbs. And the other one down 60 in over a year.

      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.
