I'm super excited and super nervous all at the same time. Having surgery in Tijuana is the most gutsy thing I've ever done

Well u go girl! I wouldn't have been opposed to MX, but my insurance does cover it. I would have done whatever it took to get it if it wasn't covered though. I'm pretty sure after all my deductibles and co-pays it might be more expensive than MX! I've heard great success stories from MX. ;)

Thanks for starting the thread - I just got the call today that my surgery is set for April 8th, too! After years of thinking about this, it's hard to believe it will all be happening in just under 6 weeks! Excited and cannot wait! :0)

I haven't recieved my info on the Protein shakes or pre op diet yet. Which have you heard are best?

I haven't heard that any are the "best" only been told to get samples and try them to decide which one I like the best. I've also ordered, and received, all my bariatric Vitamins for post surgery.

I've tried two so far, one was sooo gross (52e chocolate). I tried one that was decent (lean body on the go vanilla ice cream) I got both at an HEB plus. I have some Bariatric Advantage that my doctors office recommends, gonna try one in the am. I've hear a lot of good reviews on premier from costco, but haven't made it over there to get some. Gotta get in gear, it's right around the corner. My pre op diet starts march 27 th.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
