I did not go to full liquid until day 20 but still struggled. I found either very hot broth or ice cold clear drinks were the most comfortable. It will take 6+ mo the before you feel "normal" drinking again, you will just need to try them all and find what works best for you. 2 years later I still drink premier protein daily.

At 1 week I was not allowed to have anything but clear liquids still. Are you following your post op?

Yes I was done in Mexico and had such a great experience. I hear men lose faster in beginning but you are doing great! I focus on getting my protein and water in. Hard some days but I get it done.

October 9th surgery 35 lbs down as of yesterday! Feel amazing, no problems, feel completely normal.

I hd surgery on a Friday in Mexico and came home Sunday night and was back to work on Monday.

I was sleeved on the 9th and going regularly. Hydrate is all I can say. The only day I didn't get all my fluids in I didn't go.

I have been losing what I feel may be too quickly but have been getting everything my dr recommends. They are on a strict 10 clear liquid/10 full liquid/10 soft plan and I am 8 days post op today and 22 lbs down. Going to the bathroom regularly 3-4x a day since they day I got home. Sound normal??

Congrats! They did my gall bladder removal and were a great team!

On my way to Mexicali for my preop today surgery tomorrow!

In Reno nv you can have sleeve done for 14000. The dr says they have one of the best rates in the nation.

My surgeon charges a 3% fee to use a credit card. I would assume most Mexico Drs are the same.

All the Drs accept different financing in Mexico it seems. I would research your Drs and your budget and then they will assist you with which financing options they accept. Mexicali bariatric is who my surgery is with and they accept 2 or 3 financing companies but none are care credit which most US Drs accept.

Thank you!I am having sleeve by dr Wilhelmy at Mexicali bariatric. He has done many of my colleagues and they all rave about him and the facility.

New member. 30 y/o male, sleeve surgery is oct 9th!
