I would really like to keep in touch and encourage each other – it’s really great that we’re both in the same city. – text me 702.539.5397

My dr takes care of all that. I sent the paperwork, he signs it and scans it back. Dr. Illan and Omar are very customer service oriented. That is an understatement actually.


Hi
Are you getting nervous! I am so very nervous.

I am getting nervous. I start pre-op diet Monday. It seems everyone will be at the Marriott. I will be at Hotel Lucerna. Elanasal perhaps we can keep in touch and encourage one another...

I'm having surgery on April 17 with Dr. Garcia in Tijuana. I met another girl online who's actually decided to go with him on the same day so we will be doing it "together" which is nice. Anyone else near the 17th in Tijuana?

April 17th Dr. Elias Ortiz in Tijuana. Arriving on the 16th and staying at the Marriott. (I haven't been too freaked out about this but as the date gets closer...I think I may be getting anxious, nervous, excited...)

Hi Kate2014,

I sure hope to run into all the surgery patients at Marriott while there.... I guess we will be the ones running around with drains attached to us :)

Are flinstone vits approved??? That would make things easier ....

I'm going with Premier Protein for convenience,

But may look into others if they are available for me and recommended..... So far the highest recommended all have to be ordered online.

Good luck to us all with liquids.... They say the hunger can be really hard to take :(

I will not be at the Marriott. I am staying at Lucerna Hotel but maybe I will see people while site seeing :) My favorite Protein Powder is body fortress at Walmart. No Protein aftertaste or smell.

Rhoste,

I tried a new Protein today that was tasty....body fortress, strawberry flavored. It should be available at your local Walmart. I mixed one scoop with 5 ounces of Water. A single scoop has 30 grams of protein, so it doesn't take long to drink. As for Flintstones, I honestly didn't ask if they were okay. I did just order some sublingual Calcium and B12 from walmart online. Don't know how they will taste though.

My surgery is scheduled for the 11th. Starting liquids tomorrow! My mom was going to go with me, but my sister just received a horrible diagnosis of stage 4 ovarian cancer and she's going to be with my sister through surgery and chemo. My sister encouraged me to still have the surgery, and I'm going to. I'm awfully scared to be doing it alone now. Hope I can meet a few of you and find some camaraderie. Viva Mexico!

      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! 😞
