What liquids can I bring?



Recommended Posts

Can you bring powders? I doubt they'll let you take liquids. Or pick some up in San Diego. Buy a Water after you go through security.

You can't take liquids unless you check luggage. Pick them up in San Diego.

I had my surgery in Mexico, OCC and Dr. Ortiz. I had surgery on Wednesday, released to hotel on Thursday and traveld home on Sunday. I packed crystal light to help flavor Water and a little powered broth to mix. I was not allowed to have anything but Water and broth those frist few days. I did not need my Protein shakes, so did not need to pack anything. The hotel has bottled water and broth. Everything you will need for the first few days.

Thank you. I'm having surgery w Dr. Ortiz THIS Wednesday! Lol

My need for Protein is the day before. We travel tomorrow for 8 hours then we are at the hotel for the day.

Buying it in San Diego airport is a good idea.

The Marriott does sale bottled Water. You are provided with two bottles included in the price. Just thinking ahead because you will walk across into Mexico, less you have the better.

I had an excellent experience with OCC and Dr.Ortiz and his staff. I was well cared for and never felt uncomfortable in the least. I was feeling fine within a few days of surgery and not needing pain meds. I am 13 days out today and the only way you know I had surgery is the incision on belly (which are healing fine). Dr Ortiz is extremely committed, excellent doc and has a great sence of humor. You will do awesome.

Ty so much! That's so encouraging!

I'm glad you're doing well.

      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.
