HELLO EVERYONE...IT'S BEEN ONE WEEK SINCE MY SURGERY IN MEXICO( MONTERRY) AND I HAVE TO PINCH MYSELF BECAUSE SINCE MY LAP BAND SURGERY FROM DR. ZAPATA I'VE BEEN FREE FROM ANY DIABETIC SYMPTOMS AND SYMPTOMS OF GERD. ALSO MY BLOOD PRESSURE IS ALREADY BETTER THAN BEFORE. EVERY TIME I CHECK MY BLOOD SUGAR , I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT MY READING ARE ALWAYS BETWEEN 100 AND 120...IT FEELS LIKE A MIRACLE!!!! I CAN'T SAY ENOUGH GREAT THINGS ABOUT THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE FROM THE MOMENT I ARRIVED IN MONTERRY TO DAY I LEFT BACK TO THE STATES. I WAS TREATED WITH COMPLETE PROFESSIONALISM AND COURTESY. THE REASON WHY I'M MENTIONING THE EXPERIENCE IS BECAUSE THERE ARE ALOT OF PEOPLE OUT THER WHO NEED TO KNOW THAT BEING APPREHENSIVE AND SKEPTICAL ABOUT GOING TO ANOTHER COUNTRY FOR A IMPORTANT SURGERY AS THIS ONE IS UNDERSTANDABLE...BUT ASK YOURSELF THIS ? IS MY LIFE, MY HEALTH, AND MY OVERALL HAPPINESS WORTH TAKING A TRIP TO ANOTHER COUNTRY AND SAVING 8000$ IN THE PROCESS? MAY GOD BLESS THE STAFF IN MONTERRY AND CONTINUE TO ALLOW THEM HELP CHANGE LIVES LIKE MINE FOR THE BETTER....ADIOS..FROM THE FISH2010....:tt2:

      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.
