Any last minute advice. I'm flying to TJ in the morning. Surgery on Sunday. This liquid diet is killing me hope I'm ok to fly and feel this crappy. I'm down 17 pounds though and feel like I'm well on my way

Just got home from TJ Tuesday. Everyone was so nice. Just walk as much as possible it really does help. Don't get discouraged everyday gets better. The Wal-Mart area up the road from the Marriott is nice area to walk around. Every place we went took US dollar. Download a conversion app it will help because your change will be in pesos.

I loved my visit to TJ. The Walmart employees were really nice. We went there many times because my sister made me walk there several times a day so she could get her Starbucks fix. Had great conversations comparing US Walmarts to their Walmart. Also had one very nice cashier give us some advice about handling dollars/pesos so we didn't look like such gullible tourists. Try and get to the avenude Revolucion area if you get a chance to shop. There was a corner shop with super yummy popsicles....I had the hibiscus. Traveling was no problem. Just make sure you get someone to lift your luggage for you postop if you are traveling alone. Otherwise walk walk walk!

      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.
