Hi FeeFee,

I'm also having the VSG. My wife and I are arriving in TJ on 5/1, with surgery scheduled for the following day at Mi Doctor. Anxious, but confident in this decision. Is anyone traveling to TJ with you? Look forward to meeting you as well.

Unfortunately I will be traveling alone. But I am also confident in my decision, and I believe everything will go as planned.

Hi Everyone,

I just returned from Tijuana and wantd to give you an update.

The entire experience was excellent and could not have been better. Abraham and Eduardo were great and punctual. The doctors were outstanding. The nursing staff was genuinely caring and attentive. Each day after the surgery was considerably better than the previous day and by day 3, my wife and I were going to the mall and movies...no problems at all.

Anyone using A Lighter Me will be in good hands and I could not recommend them any higher.

Be well...James

      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.
