I am also December 27th! Feel free to join the our December FB Group. We have about 45 members. Look up "Janus" on Facebook then click the groups tab. I believe it should be the first one. It would be awesome to have buddies with the same date!

No that did not work for Facebook for me. I find myself watching videos all the time and now this app. I really would love to have a few people to talk to so if you could send me the group that would be great. My Facebook name is NetteStillKutnup.

I'm not worried about Mexico. I have spent 5 years jumping through hoops to get my insurance to cover the cost. My bmi is 49 and I can't wait any longer. Surgery is $38,000 here. Mexico is $5900. I did a lot of research and decide on Mexico.

Weightloss surgery is an exclusion in my insurance policy. Surgery is around 40k here and about 6k in Mexico. I've cleared it with my PC, Neuro, endo, and gastro. They are all on board on doing my after care and I feel pretty comfortable with my decision. Gotta have faith.

      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.
