Today is my third day in Mexico with the Bariatric Pal team company. I had my surgery Thrusday afternoon and now I am enjoying my recovery in their beautiful recovery house II. Dr. Altamirano and David are amazing. I chose to have my surgery with Dr. Altamirano based on his knowledge and true personal caring about his patients. They have made the process very easy, I will reccommend them to everyone I know. I thought coming to another country to have a medical procedure would be scary but it is not. My surgery broke all their protocols that they have in place as I have many allergies but I never was at risk, not once. I felt totally safe and secure and they always make you feel welcome. I have been a nursing for over 11 years and though they do not have the most expensive equipment it works just fine and the hospital is currently being renovated to keep up with the times but it was totally worth it and if I ever need their services again I will chose Dr. Altimarano and Bariatric Pal every time. Oh by the way the surgeon is board certified, so no need to worry. Thanks everyone keep up the good work.

      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.
