The toughest part of the surgery is the fluids only for 2-3 weeks, as well as changing gears when it comes to how we eat. You literally cannot eat more than a quarter cup at each meal - weird !! I tried to push that limit a couple of times with awful pain and twice vomitting. Again, this was my fault for pushing.

The first 4-5 weeks are the absolute worse as you are trying to re-train your eating habits and your brain wants to trick you to eat more. Stick to their plan and think of thw weight loss. It is now 1 month and a half since surgery and feel awesome !! I would go back to Jerusalem clinic in a heartbeat and highly recommend Dr. Ponce. He is also a teacher who has taught Dr. Almance.

If you can get this done sooner - I would do it !! The wait kills because it is the unknown - by then - who knows how much you can already have lost - pounds and pounds.

Feel free to e-mail anytime about this.
