My experience was great at first lil scared cause i was going to Tijuana alone. But once i got there it was great everyone speaks English even though im fluent in both English and Spanish but i felt safe. I had a great experience the first day i was nauseous and vomiting but i react to anastesia that way always after that it was smother sailing. The ride to Airport was not bad really siked myself in my mind but not bad. But the flight to ny from San Diego i wish i lived near. Word of advice crush the pills take the pain meds i tropped it and regretted when i landed felt like I couldn t wait to make it out the airport. But other than that pain killers at night i take and the antibiotics just taste like hell mix with icy pops or jello and will go down smoothly. Walk as much as u can take breaks and dont exert yourself day 6 and i do feel great at times and pain at times but all manageable. Just when i drink or eat jello my stomach sometimes cramp up but that is normal for first 2 weeks. Its not horrible pain where u cry but you do tell yourself why did i do this but like i said day 6 and i fit in sweats that i didnt a year ago. Sweat pants thats crazy everyone fits in sweatpants lol well not me b4 and now i fit so that regret went out the window. As for walking take it slow its ok to be a grandma and regret does creep in but im not hungry and if i am eat jello or my soups or water n protein water. It helps and i get full very fast just train ur brain and ull be fine in six weeks we can eat solids and life will get better just take it a day at time and u will be fine.
