Mexicali Grocery shopping



Recommended Posts

Hey all --- has anyone who has been to Mexicali know if a grocery store is close by? Not a corner store, but a big one - a Ley or Gigante? My supply of vanilla is running low and I need to get some before I'm sleeved and unable to do anything :) I also want to pick up some Clight (Mexico version of Crystal light but with some great flavors), chile and lime chips for my brother and a few other things. Just thought I'd ask before I go down (March 7) but can always ask when I get there.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!!

Alana :)

Hey Alanah, I suggest you check with your patient coordinator; she is sure to know several places to go within a reasonable distance from where you'll be staying. I don't remember seeing a big grocery store near the hotel/hospital, but I didn't venture out very far, either.

Congrats on your upcoming surgery, btw! :D

Thanks!! I did check with Nina but wasn't too sure if there was anyone else that has gone grocery shopping while down there as well. But since I posted this -- I found that Soriana is just around the corner from the hotel so that's where we will go our first night! Excited to have surgery -- I'm so ready for this to happen! I start vacation on Wednesday, flying to Florida for a week and will leave our little one there with Nanny and Papa and then I will fly out to have my surgery ... return 5 days later and have another week and a half in Florida to recoup and then fly home. I wish it could happen now! :)

I did *lots* of research for my revision and all led me to Dr. Aceves. I think I'm making a great choice as well as I've heard and read nothing but good things about him and the hospital. I'm just worried that I'll fail the sleeve like I failed the band. Fingers are crossed and I have a goal that I WILL get to!

I haven't been to Mexico since I was banded so I'm itching to go back ..... we used to go every year while growing up and I so miss it! Pretty sad I have to schedule a surgery to go! Hahahaa

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
