I am also going in January! My date is set for 1/16 in Mexico. I SO excited and nervous. I really would like to go NOW, but, I agreed to go after the holidays to make it easier on my boyfriend and family.
Where are you having your surgery done?

Nice! I am working on drinking more Water (read: less Diet Coke!) and adjusting my diet.
My insurance does not cover obesity at all, so I opted for Mexico. However, I am struggling with 'I ONLY HAVE 2 MORE MONTHS TO EAT ______, better do it now!". So, I have gained about 5lbs in the last 2-3 weeks.
But, today I am back on track. I am working on high protien, low carb and more Water.< /p>
I live in rural AK, so I cannot run out and buy Protein drinks/powder, but I ordered a ton of stuff on Amazon and when they come in, I will be subbing meals and doing test runs to see what I like for the 2 week pre-op diet as well as post-op liquids. I am super excited to have the tools to get back on the right track.
I will have to check out the app...because I need more water! Thanks for the tip!

Try lendingclub.com. It's a private group and when most places won't loan they will and there's minimal cost if your credit is ok. Credit doesn't have to be excellent.

Can you say the words "Loan Shark".... I think the Mob would give you a better deal......

The shoulder pain was from the gas they put in to open everything up. I was not in any pain pain mostly just discomfort as it left my body. They took out my drain this morning and I feel amazing. Everyone was so wonderful and nice. We are getting ready to go sight seeing and to the pharmacy here in about an hour. Other than a slight headache (no caffeine) I feel so good.

Everything went great...I just finished its my leak test nd am now able to have liquids. The shoulder pain Is a killer but I'm being well taken care of. Hoping tomorrow is better.

Thank you kindly all! I should prob add some variances like you suggested...food boredom= not good. I always tend to overdo one thing and hate it for the next three years. Good lookin out!

@shizwiz. Number 5..... hella funny!

@@shizwiz - I have tried a few but found I like the pre-made Premier shakes the best.

@@shizwiz I'm on day 12 a Premier Protein has been by far my favorite. I don't know where you live but I got mine at SAMs and they were 18.97 for a 12 pack. I bought chocolate, strawberry n cream, and vanilla. They have 1 g sugar, 160 cal and 30 g of Protein. Also Swanson make a hot n sour broth, Mexican, Thai ginger, ect....they are good too if you want to change it up a bit, I mix they with some plain chicken broth to lighten them up.

I'm headed to TJ tomorrow to see Dr. Elias Ortiz. Surgery on Sunday!! Didn't really think about the holidays when I planned this one. Oh well I've had 30 before this missing out can't be too bad
