Good! That makes me feel good because sometimes reading this stuff will make your mind think all sorts of things! I was going to do the whole insurance thing but that would just take 2 long and I was already approved w Dr A so I'm ready!

There's also a group on Facebook, weight loss surgery-Mexico, that is very helpful too. It's a closed group so you have to ask to join. It's been another great resource.

July 26th with Dr. Alvarez in Piedras Negras. Self pay he is 8k includes hotel before and hotel after and medications when you leave. He is a leading surgeon; however it's almost half price in TJ and other places. For me, this docs experience and facilities and planning makes it worth the expense. Looking for July 26thers to dr Alvarez.

      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.
