Today is the Day for Me!



Recommended Posts

As a self-pay, I elected to have my surgery done through Mexico Bariatric Center in Tijuana. I arrived yesterday where a driver picked me up to take me to the hospital for pre-ops where they took blood, gave me an EKG and finished up paperwork. Then another driver took me to the hotel. Everyone has been so nice, knowledgeable and professional!!! I leave in an hour as I have to be at the hospital at 6AM, again a driver will take me from the hotel to the hospital. I am feeling so many things right now...grateful for this opportunity to repair my health yet very anxious as is to be expected with someone who has been treated for anxiety disorder for years. I think anyone would be a bit nervous but I feel confident in the doctors here and I truly believe I can use this took as intended to help me reduce my weight therefore reducing the pressure causing pain on my arthritic joints. Now, if I end up being a totes hottie in the process, can’t say I would mind! ;-) love to all and thank you for all of you support!!!

      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.
