Mississippi Girl reacted to Rena's got this in Maybe i wasnt ready for this ..#vent
I was on Clear Liquids for one day...until my leak test. Then they put me on full liquids. I'm supposed to be on them for two weeks, and have 6 days left before I get to move to pureed foods. I talked to my nutritionist today, and she told me I could have stuff like grits with butter, or mashed potatoes as long as they were watery enough to go through a straw (but not to use a straw). She also made a suggestion that I found wonderful....tried it tonight. It was a half a cup of refried Beans, with a little cheese, melted, and I used chicken broth to make it smooth enough to fit in a straw. I also put just a little mayo in it and a little salt. It was wonderful. She said I could also add unflavored Protein to it to boost the Protein level. I can't wait until I can have stuff like scrambled eggs, but now I think I can do this.
I haven't had any nausea, and not much pain, but I am a little scared right now to overdo drinking Water or eating anything over a couple of ounces. I usually take a long time to eat, even the full liquids. I've lost about 16 pounds so far, and I am feeling pretty tired at work. I think I should have taken more time off....

Mississippi Girl reacted to honeyg317 in The easy way out
Started my pre-op diet today and it is harder than I thought. Feeling drained and unsure of myself. I am seriously questioning my decisions. Why did I let my weight get this out of control?! For those who think wls is "the easy way out"...just suck it!

Mississippi Girl reacted to slvrsax in Mexico Dr's? There are so many!
I would report the surgeon who won't refund your money to the Better Business Bureau.
I also did my due diligence for an entire year and still went to Mexico. I used Ariel Ortiz at Obesity Control Center. I had a great experience. I can honestly say I received better care in Mexico than I have here in the states. My surgeon in Mexico identified a problem I had that my family doctor here in the states wasn't willing to explore. Not only did he find the problem but he fixed it. The good care I received has inspired me to find a new doctor here at home.
Don't be discouraged, read as much as you can before you decide Mexico is not for you. I wish you the best!
