Tijuana here I come!

I just scheduled my surgery today, and I am extremely excited! I am having surgery 9/12/14 at Mi Doctor Hospital. My surgeon will be Dr. Louisiana Valenzuela with Mexico Bariatric Center. I started my pre-op diet, and I am crazy hungry. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I will be travelling alone, and I have never flown on a plane.
