New group for oct sleevers

October 21 in Tijuana. Today is Day 3 of the preop diet. Psyching myself up. I'll be flying there and back alone so that's the part that makes me most nervous.

OMG me too! I'm going to Tijuana October 21st! I will be at marriot hotel and Florence Hospital. Look me up. I will be alone. I'm taking the train.

OMG me too! I'm going to Tijuana October 21st! I will be at marriot hotel and florence hospital. Look me up. I will be alone. I'm taking the train.

I'll be getting in on the 20th, staying at the Sheraton in San Diego. Surgery is Tuesday the 21st at Hospital MI Doctor and I fly back that Friday. I see that's in the same family of hospitals as yours (Mexico Bariatric Center).

My husband wanted to come with me but we couldn't find anyone we trusted to watch the kids for five days (we left them with his dad when we went on our honeymoon last year and it was a disaster, returned home to a flooded kitchen). Also we didn't want to raise any red flags...his ex is a horrible person who likes to call me names in front of the kids and I am sure she would have a field day if she ever found out I had WLS. The kids think I'm going for a work-related seminar.

I'm with Ready 4 a Change. My surgeon is Dr. Fernando Garcia. I'm taking the train to San Diego and staying at the Marriot the 20th having surgery the 21st. Then I'm staying at the Marriot in Tijuana until the 27th. I just decided to make it a fun vacation and rest and relax. Then taking a nice slow relaxing train ride back home. will you be staying at a hotel in Tijuana. I don't mean to ask personal questions and you don't have to tell me anything you don't want to. Best of luck! Maybe see you there.

Just a tip that works for me. I am practicing with the stir straws. they have such a small middle they force you to sip. I found the long ones at wal mart. They work great for me.

Thanks jspitznogle! That's a great idea. I'm now using a toddlers sippee cup. Lol...It seems to be my friend although I can't imagine the looks I'll be getting if I use it in public...Oh yeah I don't care what random people think. I decided not to care when I chose to go through with this procedure!!

[Delta Dawn 66]

PS I will be shopping for stir straws today!!

My surgery date is October 29-- Im excited about it but scared at the same time.. What if I dont loose any weight? what if? waht if?.... Im not really worry about the food part-- the last 2 years I have lost 45 lbs- I dont eat fast food, or process food, so that part is not going to be hard-- I crossfit 4x5 a week, and Im still not loosing any weight, thats why I decided to have the gastric sleeve, but I am very scared that I wont loose weight.

Cant wait for October 29...

I am also scared about not being able to drink a lot of water-- I currently drink close to a gallon of water-- drastic changes are head and I am ready ....

I started my pre op diet -- 2 Protein shakes, one homecooked Soup for my meal, greek yogurt for my snack... I have been working all week (12 hr nightshift) so it has been easy.. Friday and Saturday will be harder since I will be home, but it can be done..
