I was in Mexicali in March. It was in the 80's and 90's. I did my walking around the hospital outside.

Just don't over do it. And follow your doc's orders.

Yes.. We lounged by the poolside and also did every touristy thing we could. They have a huge flea market area and beaches and lots of awesome places to visit

ENJOY YOURSELF!

I'm going to Tijuana, on July 7th for my procedure on the 8th! Super excited! So you don't feel too sore to do the "touristy" stuff? I was wondering if i'd even be able to get outside much come july as its pretty hot...I deffinatly hope to hit the pool for some last minute swimming on arrival day ;) Do you know if you can start taking the unflavored Protein powders in your crystal lite drinks/jello right after surgery? I want to make sure to start taking the protein as soon as possible after surgery...

Everyone is different on what they can do after surgery. I was fortunate and was nonstop from post-on. Did all the touristy stuff plus more. Spent an extra night just so we could have more fun. Then we added an extra day so we could play in San Diego. Had a blast. Did the Protein Powder drinks but you have to do it Water only and nothing else. Did Vitamins and meds the evening of surgery. No issues.

I just left the TJ Marriott on Monday. I did NOT go to the pool, although I wish I had now. I was by myself and did not do any touristy things with my poor swollen tummy, I was concerned about being jostled. The Marriott pool is beautiful.

I was actually tired from constantly being woken up in the middle of the night being checked on for vitals and nurses. So the second I got to the hotel, I wrapped my heating pad around my tummy and fell asleep watching a movie. It was wonderful.

Everyone is different. I did bring my swimsuit. But maybe play it by ear and see where your energy level is when you get there.

Left the Marriott Tuesday. We sat by the pool and enjoyed the sun and breeze every day. Abraham, our coordinator, did take my hubby and my sister in law (who was sleeved also) to Revolution to shop. The weren't too impressed shopping there.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
