I am almost two weeks post op sleeve and I can say I am craving food so bad. After being on full liquids for almost four weeks has taken a toll on me. I never thought I would be so excited to have a scrambled egg or 1/2 cup of cottage cheese. And it is JUST head hunger as you call it. I did NOT go through this just to mess it all up. Too much money, pain, and work to give in. So far I have stuck to it 100% and I know I will have cheats here and there but hope and pray it will be a long way down the road.

PLEASE do not go to Mexico. I too have bipolar depression and anxiety. I am having issues with the mental health clearance. Had surgery scheduled but had not gone for my 4 recommended sessions with the therapist because of appointment issues. Went for preop appointment and surgery canceled because of it. I ADMIRE my surgeon for saying no. I want to do this TOTALLY safe and RIGHT. I have made ENOUGH bad choices in my life to make another by not being healthy in all sense of rhe word. This is about your HEALTH. You cannot put a timeline or price on your health. I know you have been patient (I have been on the journey since January and still have not had surgery). Not that there are not good reputable surgeons Mexico but it's not worth risking your life for. I am a nurse and grew up in a border city......I KNOW the bad that can happen. So PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE stay where you are. Maybe ask your surgeon to call the psych group to sign papers......my surgeon advised me to let the office know if things did not move along. Professionals will listen more to physicians than they will from us peons haha. Good luck to you in your journey. I pray for a safe outcome for you. You DESERVE a safe outcome.
