I'm very excited. No one has really given me crap because only my husband and one of my cousins know about any of this. I dont have any idea what they would say so I figured it would just be easier this way. I'll probably end up telling them after its done. Are you getting negative comments?

Hmmm...I don't guess that it's really negative comments vs concerned comments and questions.

Like.. why Mexico? Are you sure it's safe? Are you crazy? LOL mostly just concern

I am looking into getting surgery in Mexico. I have a friend who lives in Tijuana and she got her surgery done there and had great results. I'm afraid to tell my family because they will be very concerned.

My Dr told me I could take my vit b-12, vit D and multi vit post op. But can't take any of my supplements till later.

      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.
