Any last minute advice. I'm flying to TJ in the morning. Surgery on Sunday. This liquid diet is killing me hope I'm ok to fly and feel this crappy. I'm down 17 pounds though and feel like I'm well on my way

Just got home from TJ Tuesday. Everyone was so nice. Just walk as much as possible it really does help. Don't get discouraged everyday gets better. The Wal-Mart area up the road from the Marriott is nice area to walk around. Every place we went took US dollar. Download a conversion app it will help because your change will be in pesos.

I loved my visit to TJ. The Walmart employees were really nice. We went there many times because my sister made me walk there several times a day so she could get her Starbucks fix. Had great conversations comparing US Walmarts to their Walmart. Also had one very nice cashier give us some advice about handling dollars/pesos so we didn't look like such gullible tourists. Try and get to the avenude Revolucion area if you get a chance to shop. There was a corner shop with super yummy popsicles....I had the hibiscus. Traveling was no problem. Just make sure you get someone to lift your luggage for you postop if you are traveling alone. Otherwise walk walk walk!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
