I have just scheduled my sleeve sugery for 10/1 with BariatricPal Hospital in Mexico. I used their website to schedule. I'm so excited to get my journey started.

I went to Pompeii. Things will go well. You have to get a Nutritionist & good Primary Care when you get back or maybe start looking now at least for Nutritionist to help you with diet.

I had been seeing a Nutritionist since last November. However, she was unhappy about my thoughts on a Gastric Sleeve. And horrified that my Primary (who referred me to her) would suggest it. I parted ways with her last month.

I will cozy up to the Nutritionist at BariatricPal Hospital for assistance. As far as my Primary goes, he was more than happy to refer me to their Bariatric Program. I really don't think he will be too surprised that I have chosen a surgeon in Mexico. We talked $$$$, and he quietly mentioned that I could check other programs.

      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.
