2tired2befat 29 Posted June 6, 2016 Hey everyone!!I'm scheduled for July 4th in Juarez Mexico, and start my 10 day liquid diet June 23rd. Glad I found this support group! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
amandaelder4 26 Posted June 6, 2016 Welcome! i am scheduled for July 5th. i am new to this support group and looking for a few people to keep in touch with that are starting around the same time that I am. I feel that going through it with someone that is also going through it, may make it a bit easier as far as support goes. How are you doing with preparations?

2tired2befat 29 Posted June 6, 2016 Welcome! i am scheduled for July 5th. i am new to this support group and looking for a few people to keep in touch with that are starting around the same time that I am. I feel that going through it with someone that is also going through it, may make it a bit easier as far as support goes. How are you doing with preparations?Good morning! So far, I have just watched YouTube videos of people's week by week progress, some post op on what to take to the hospital, and what to expect the first couple weeks. Doin it in Mexico, I don't have the siminarz to go to, or a doctor to ask questions. I have quiet a few clients who've had it done, and so I'm kinda just gathering info right now. Are you excited? Anxious? I spent the day yesterday with an 80 yr old health food nut, and I'll tell ya, the drink she made for me was some kind of scary, not something I could see myself doing on a long term deal. How are you gettin ready for the big day? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amanda Elder 17 Posted June 7, 2016 @@2tired2befat sorry for the delayed response. My notifications don't seem to be coming through. I never thought about watching some videos on youtube, what a good idea. I have been to seminars many year ago but because I am paying out of pocket, the requirements are not there for me. I am getting very excited about my surgery. In some ways it has been a 7 year dream that is finally coming true. I have started trying to get all the enentials for the puree section of the first couple weeks.i want to make sure that mentally I am ready and that I have all the supplies. Have you gotten all your supplies yet? How long will you be in Mexico recovering? Feel free to private message me too. I'd love to get to know you more and become support buddies since we are so close in surgery dates! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amanda Elder 17 Posted June 7, 2016 @@PRINCESS2218 funny thing, my surgeon doesn't require a liquid diet stage. Just 2 weeks of low carb. How are you doing in your preparations for surgery? Did you have to take classes? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

amandaelder4 26 Posted June 8, 2016 That is too funny. I hate grocery shopping. It is my least favorite chore. If I could buy all my produce and cold foods online I would. Haha. I did just recently order my Vitamins and Protein powder. Sent from my SM-G920P using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

amandaelder4 26 Posted June 9, 2016 (edited) I ordered two different one for now. I love coffee, like can't live without it so I got the Chike coffee flavored. Figured I could get my Protein and my coffee. And the I ordered the unflavored Isopure. I love it because I can really out it in anything and it doesn't taste like it is there. So when I have a Protein shake i just put a few berries in a blender with a little milk and it is delish. Is there a certain kind of.protein powder that you like? I have a hard time with finding bars and shakes I like because I do not really like chocolate all that much.
