Getting sleeved Thursday!



Recommended Posts

So... It's all happening! I booked about 3 weeks ago, I'm going to TJ Mexico for Dr. Ramos Kelly. I'm excited but a little nervous. If anyone has any bits of advice or experience of surgery in Mexico, I'm sure I've already read them, but go ahead and share if you feel so inclined :)

I'm doing well by the way worked since Monday I'm 9 days post op everything went smoothly. Still having wavelike cramping pains come and go mostly when I eat. Dr. Kelly performed the surgery well and I had no issues with him or his team while I was in Mexico. His Facebook support group on the other hand he seems like a different person, accusatory and child like. But he did the surgery and it would appear he did it well. Clinica San Juan was nice, hotel lucerna was nice, they're very organized in their planning for your whole visit and the necessary steps. Jorge the driver is very nice, Gabby the office assistant was also nice.

      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.
