Learning my limits



Recommended Posts

Hi Elisabethsew If you don't mind me asking Who was your Dr in Mexico and how was the experience? I am leaning toward the Sleeve but insurance won't pay for it.

Elisabeth and I had our surgeries done within a day of each other with Dr. Aceves in Mexicali, Mexico. We both agree that every aspect of it was wonderful. The staff were amazing, the hospital was amazing and the doctor was amazing. Both of us have separate threads in this section about our experience, which you can read, if you like. We give lots of details there.

I am having my sleeve done by him as well in less than a month. Everybody that has anything to say about him, his staff and hospital has nothing but glowing, wonderful, happy reports of their experience with him and the hospital.

nchaka,

Susan speaks the truth. We both did great with Dr. Aceves. I've been an RN for over 2 decades and specialize in critical care so I watched everyone and everything like a hawk. LOL. I truly think the U.S. has a lot to learn from how things are done there. Certainly, the care was top notch!

      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.
