You should have made him agree that if he couldn't stick to your diet he pays for your surgery in Mexico. Aim high with the bets!

I have thought about Mexico many times. But I am a little afraid. I know a lot of people have had surgery in Mexico and are doing just fine. But will not discard that option. Hehehe

The same thing happened to me with my insurance! I need this to save my life so my husband agreed to help me self pay. We are both terrified of surgery in Mexico as my aunt died getting a Tummy Tuck abroad as well as many other horror stories I've heard... So we searched until we found an American surgeon with reasonable fees. My surgery is 6/7 in Michigan and the cost is $11,000. Sure it was a bit higher than Mexico, but worth it for my peace of mind. I would consider self-pay if you can make the financial sacrifice and get your husband to back you! Good luck sweetheart!

      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.
