Thank you so much!!! I appreciate it!

Thanks for sharing your story. I have my band to sleeve revision next Friday and have been worried about that. You helped ease some of my anxiety, so thank you!

Awesome news and congrats!!! I will be having my band to sleeve revision next Friday.

I have also now tried the Unjury strawberry and it is my LEAST favorite by far. Won't be buying it again.

Awesome news!!!

I agree. There are a lot of helpful people on this site and I am very grateful to those that have offered their friendship, advice, encouragement, and support.

Thank you SO MUCH!! And blessings your way that all goes well with a speedy recovery!! Thank you! I appreciate it. Good luck to you on Monday!!!

Good luck to all of the Novembers sleevers!!! I am next Friday, November 20th.

I would NOT want to have to do the 14-day liquid diet twice, so I feel for you. But at the same time it is a great way to prepare yourself for what's ahead. Good luck to you on the 19th!! I will be a day after you on the 20th.

Good luck to you!! That is my birthday.

Great article Alex. I am currently on Day 5 of my Pre-Op diet and all of this information has been very helpful!

Going to another country to have surgery IS very nerve-wracking, especially for those that haven't done their homework and research like you have. There are a lot of stereotypes involved with having surgery in another country. In some cases they might be true, but NOT in all cases. You just have to trust in your research as well as your conversations with Dr. A, Ana, Natalie, and Alex. And don't forget about all of those positive video reviews where Mexico bariatric surgery patients have detailed their journey and raved about the experience.

The first 3 days were absolutely the hardest. I had a constant headache and very low energy. I am on Day 5 now and I can say that it does get easier...at least it has for me. The first few days I kind of cheated by eating 1 salad with lean chicken or turkey in it. But with that said, many doctors allow that as part of their particular version of the pre-op diet so I don't consider it a complete fail...just an ad lib to my doctors recommendations. The Post-Op diet is quite consistent across the board for sleevers. However, the Pre-Op diet ranges from pure liquids for some to liquids plus a salad/lean meat for others to being able to eat whatever you want up until surgery. It is quite bewildering all of the differences among Pre-Op diets.

Very well said guys!!! I couldn't agree more.

I have been trying all different kinds of Protein powders and shakes. I think the variety helps. So far I have enjoyed the following (with the unjury chocolate Splendor being my favorite): Unjury Chocolate Splendor Unjury Chicken Soup Premier Chocolate shake Syntrax nectar Crystal Sky Syntrax Nectar Double Stuffed Cookie Syntrax Nectar Naturals Fruit Punch

I am currently on my Pre-Op liquid diet for my Sleeve surgery next Friday. With that said, I purchased a lot of different unjury and Syntrax nectar Protein powders and Premier Protein shakes to see what I liked best. So far, I have actually liked all of the following: Unjury chocolate Splendor Unjury chicken Soup Premier Chocolate shake Syntrax Nectar Crystal Sky Syntrax Nectar Double Stuffed Cookie Syntrax Nectar Naturals Fruit Punch

Good luck to you on your new journey!! I'm just 9 days away now!! Nervous and so very excited!!

Today marks Day 5 of my Pre-Op liquid diet. The first 4 days I had liquids and 1 salad each day, but today I start full liquids for the next 10 days.

Good luck to you!!! I am currently on Day 4 of my pre-op liquid diet and it is difficult. I've had a headache since I started, but today it has been better. Stay strong. We can do it!!!

I'm on Day 4 and it has been pretty difficult. I have had a constant headache and very low energy, but I know I can do it. Hang in there everyone!!!
