    HI everyone.
    I am from CT. Getting sleeved in mexico on 7/1/11.
    Thanks for the great support from the forum! It really helps to have a place where i can ask questions and get support from people who have been through the process!!
    I have to lose 100+lbs. and i have done it and done it and and done it and done it (like 12 times or so...no joke) in the past, but now I simply cannot bear the thought of re-losing the 100 pounds and then putting it back on again in a year, so I have decided that I am going to get the sleeve done even though my insurance will not pay for it. In Mexico. I have been keeping my surgery on the "down-low" from everyone but my husband.. because I don't want to hear people say "what? you are going to Tijuana to get your stomach cut out?! WHAT??!!"
    So, I have promised myself that, as long as i stick to my pre-op diet, I am doing this!...I started on 5/30 with daily intake of 70 gm.protein powder mixed with water and so far, so good... But :
    1. I have a question for ct people...any recos on MD's who might be willing to see me for aftercare issues? (which i hope i wont have, but if i do, I cant really pop back to Mexico for a consult!). I just want to have a name, just in case.

    2. Also, I am really confused about the meaning of "liquid diet"... are there two levels? I did get instructions of pre-op diet etc. , but the "clear vs. non-clear liguids" thing kind of confused me
    >>>It seems like on the "clear liquids" you do not get any real protein...just clear soup, water, sugar free drinks and maybe popsicles and jello.
    >>>But on "the non-clear liquids", you should aim for 70gm.+ a day of protein and 64 oz of water/sugarfree drinks (BTW: I am also confused about whether or not a protein drink is supposed to be made with water or with milk...seems like milk would take it out of the liguid category, so I have been mixing the powder with water only)
    Is that right? So, does this mean that when you are advised to take "clear liquids" 3 days before and then for a few days after surgery, you are supposed to not take in any protein? That seems odd....
    any help you can give would be great. thanks

    How r u and her doing? I lost 50 of the 100 I want to lose, the past 2 months have been terrible for me. I had my mother move in with me in March and she recently had surgery and is now in a convalescent home for a few weeks, I havent been to the gym in weeks and my eating habits have hit rock bottom. I have not gained any weight back, but I havent lost any more either
    Hope you are losing all you want to. What town are you from?

    Hi, I have a co worker who got a bypass from Dr Ehrlich, I believe he uses Griffin Hospital but may also work out of Bridgeport too
