There are no reported cases in Tijuana, so far...at least I haven't seen any reported cases on the news in Tijuana, They are starting to take precaution though...I know school has been canceled among other things

That was fun, mine was about a 5lb difference...Even if its right or wrong, it's fun to do!

On Date of surgery I was 175 and on the date of my first fill which was 2/7, shoot I think I was...159 so 16lbs...from surgery to first fill!

I have small ones on my scars, but not grape size...I'm assuming mine are scar tissue, they are starting to go down as time goes by! I'll have to show them to the doc those weekend I'm at the OCC! I was worried about them too.

Im a big water drinker also, but i use to gulp it, now i take sips(not too small not too much) but I can't seem to get in as much as i use to drink...Too busy at work to "sip" water!!!

You'll be ok, just take it meal at a time...try different liquids, or if your a creamy soup stage, try different one's...Make sure you drinking your protein, it helps...I also had increased hunger, but once I had my soup and my protein drink a few hours later I was fine...A lot of it is mental hunger, so really watch out for that! And make sure your getting water in also! You're doing awesome, just hang in there!!! I got frustrated the last week and a half left on my liquid diet, but when it was time for me to eat solids, I got scared lol! Im such a dork! You'll do fine!

You should try the tomato parmasean bisque soup at hand by cambells...(not sure I spelled that right)...It's soooo yummy!!! I also got full after eating like 1/3 of it...then I would just save it for later!

There were a few times I felt light headed, almost as if I were going to pass out...had to sit down, let it pass and drink somthing with sugar in it...or suck on a piece of candy!

ummmm....yeah, i started mine the day right before my surgery...hmm...kind of wierd when your around a bunch Dr. Mc Hotties!!!

I had same bad taste, i thought it was from the anesthesia...but yea as Mansaw says drink lots of water it helps all the way around!

I had maybe a total of two days that I looked yellow in the face, and lil week, but didn't notice my eyes...But it seemed to happen when i finished doing a moderate activity like at work and i didn't have time to get soup or somthing in my tummy...but it went away! Hope you feel better!

Oh my...Yeah some of the agents can be a pain in the butt...but what are they going to do?? Not let a US citizen back in to their own country? Rip up our birthcertificates? They did that to a friend of mine who had a mexican passport, they can do it to non citizens, but not to a us citizen!!! I've come across a few rude one's and I've come across many that are very nice! Sorry for your frustration!

Hi, it took me about 2 weeks for the shoulder pain to go away, and i pin pointed what caused it! Dairy! After my gas came out and I stayed away from dairy it's gone now...Start of my second week i could feel my port almost as if it were right under my rib, didn't hurt but uncomfortable! my incisions don't hurt anymore but i do feel the occasional pinch of the skin...A week of rest after my surgery I thought would be enough, but i probably could have used a few more days, I say about 2 1/2-3 weeks I started feeling alot better...What worked best for me and my body is using benefibre to get the gas out and walking and not holding back, if you know what i mean, lol! Hang in there, it should get better!

Hi Jazzy, Wow that's great...I was starting to get worried because I was reading other people's post that they weren't feeling much restriction or loosing anything after their first couple of weeks of starting on solids... Where do you find the protein bullet, what brand are they?
