For those that went to Mexico (tijuana ), how long did it take you to get back through the border? Did you go through the medical lane?

Good luck everyone with this month surgery, my surgery was set for Oct 19 and my insurance company denied it. My dr plans on appealing it since it's medical necessary.

@@jmarie67 yes!! I am 4 days P/O and having a similar situation, I am able to wander but when it does come time to "go" it's of the unpleasant consistency lol. The nurse told me before I was discharged that the leak test I had the day after surgery had barium that acts as a laxative so that could be it if you had that test done. But also being on a full liquid diet I just think in combo with the barium my body is just having a hard time getting it together [emoji16]

      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.
