Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

What I have read on here has been of great help in answering some of my questions. I have been considering having the surgery for 3 years. I kept putting it off to try something else....Finally I have decided to do this for my health. I have about 80 lbs to loose. I am a little scared since the last surgery I had was my wisdom teeth when I was 16. I am now 50......but here goes. I would love to get together with other members who have a November surgery date.

Thanks:whoo:

We cacn do this together. I live in Santa Clarita, CA. I am going to Mexico to have my surgery as my ins won't cover it here in the US. Hopefully we can keep in touch. I get what you say about watching from the sidelines....it is about time we start participating!!!!

I have seen several people did their surgery in Mexico and had positive results. Is the cost better there? Will a doctor state side do your fills/unfills? You can email me directly at GracieMoon219@aol.com. If you ever want to chat. I am a good listener. It will be March before I can get the surgery :-( even if the insurance approved it for tomorrow.

      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.
