I found things so different even in the same country and same doctor. I had to do a two week pre-op, a friend I sent down to the same surgeon had to do a three day pre-op diet. I'm sending another friend down to Tijuana, she's yet to get any instructions, but it will be interesting to see what she's told (by a different doctor). There's several of us that had surgery in Tijuana that have all stayed in contact, and collectively we all did what was best for us. Our bodies told us what we could and couldn't do, I don't believe in suffering, and I never had a single issue or problem. Good luck to all!

Nope, no troll, just life in a world of reality. I don't and never did use Protein shakes, ever and probably never will (hate them). I lost 75 pounds in less than a year (about nine months) and have kept it off. One of the ladies I had surgery with went from 240 to 98 pounds eating what she wanted right from the get go (luckily she's up to 115 now and happy and healthy), she was the one I went to for a lot of my information, we did it together. Almost three years out, and I have never looked back! I'm 110 pounds and started off at 185.5 and 5'2. Our NUT said the night we were discharged from the hospital to go back to the hotel and have some of their tomato soup, which I and everyone else I had surgery with did, it was glorious (ordered one bowl and four of us shared it)! Had Surgery on a Monday and this was on a Wednesday night, Thursday our NUT took us to a little place in Tijuana for ice cream, mine was chocolate, it was the best ice cream I had ever had.

I'm just on a friends account right now looking for information for her, but I was on full liquid foods three days out from surgery (pudding, ice cream, tomato soup) and soft foods after five (baked Beans, mashed potatoes, anything soft), ate a small prime rib dinner ten days out and pizza and a coke a month out. I didn't eat a lot, very small portions, but enjoyed my regular foods. I went for my favorite Chinese food six weeks out. I love Chinese food (rice, ginger beef, noodles) and pizza, but now I don't eat near as much. Be smart, if it hurts don't eat it.

I am looking for anyone that has used this Doctor and what their opinion is of him.

Has anyone ever heard of a Doctor Luis Enrique Montano in TJ?
