I am July 11 in Mexico and I am going it alone. Is that totally crazy? I have only told a select few about the surgery and frankly, I'd rather travel with them for a Mexican holiday rather than a Mexican surgery. Please let me know if I am totally insane for thinking I can go alone and not be a basket case!! And let me know if you can be support for these days!!

The stories from a friend who got sleeved this winter and some in this forum make me think that I can do this, while others (and my nerves) think it's not a very good idea at all.

Thanks for any advice and any buddies and mentors and any support!!

I am going to TJ on the 8th to be sleeved by Doctor Zavalza. I am going alone but I am comfortable with it! I have done so much traveling alone and I have seen and heard from his previous clients so I have faith in the people who will take care of me while I am there!

Nobody that I have told wants me to go to Mexico alone. Nobody that I have told has to live with the extra 130 lbs of weig by and the consequences it brings either. So I am doing this for me and I will be my own support if I have to. I have online friends who have used this doctor and that is all the support I need for now. I fully expect my family to still love me when I get home and to slowly become more accepting of my decision once they see how much life I gain from it.

That being said, you must be all in and comfortable with your decision. This life changing surgery will have emotional ups and downs so you really should be confident in it going in.

Also, I'll be your friend :)

      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.
