Came home last night! Truthfully, day #2 (Saturday) was horrific pain-wise, and I was crying in agony at several points. I had to spend a second night in the hospital as I could not urinate without the catheter.

However, since then I am improving more and more every hour! I am now able to sit up and walk a bit as well as eat/drink normally. I have switched from Percuset to Tylenol/Codeine and am excited to see myself feeling better in the next few days.

Thanks all for reading!

Day 2 and 3 were hardest for me. Remember to go slow, rest, eat your Protein and enjoy your new body! I am almost 4 months out now and can't get over how happy I am that I did the plastics!

Hi Mark, how are you doing? I am hoping you can share your experience with Dr. Capella? I am thinking of having him to a arm lift, thigh lift, and tummy tuck....or is the TT and thigh lift called a LBL? Did you have your procedures done at his clinic or a hospital? Was the facilities clean and modern? Where did you stay to recover? How many nights were you in Tijuana recovering? How was your after surgery care? Did Dr. Capella come see you at the place you recovered? Etc, etc, etc, lol. I'm full of questions, any and all details of your experience is very much appreciated. Thanks so much! Dee

      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.
