    January 19th

    Hi everyone, I also had my surgery 1/19 in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico with Dr Joya. I stayed in the hospital overnite also. I was on clear liq for 4 days and now have moved on the the full liquids. I guess I was lucky the only gas pains I had was with the need to burp. I found warm tea help relax everything enough that it either came up or pass on through. I am already down 9# since surgery.
  3. I am also getting banded 1/19/09 in Mexico. I have also been very anxious and just wished the day would just get here. Have you looked in the January 09 forum thread. There are lots of us schedule through Jan.

    stress eating

    Don't give up. If one thing I learn on my life of dieting, that one time of cheating is not what ruins it, it is giving up with that one time and consuming everything in site. Go back to your preop dieting, stay strong. We are all in this together.

    stress eating

    Maureen, My preop diet starts just one week before surgery due to my BMI being 36. It consist of being on liquids strictly for the week before. If I was 37 they put you on liquid diet for two weeks before. I have already started doing yogert smoothies for breakfast, one's I make at home with plain yogert, milk and fruit. This has been the longest month of my life, I do believe.

    thanks for the reply Jodi. It is nice to know someone is listening, and even been there before. I am so anxious to get this done, I wish it was Jan 19 already.

    stress eating

    My surgery is scheduled 1/19. I can't wait to start my preop diet, because right now I feel like I can't stop eating. Every time I turn around I feel like I am eating:cursing:. I keep telling myself it is a case of nerves ( gee, think I could be a emotional eater, lol) I have tried not to buy the easy snack foods, but with Christmas cooking going on, and a tall 6ft plus 140 pound teenage son in the house, I do have to have the carbs around. Anyone else hit with this stress eating?:tongue_smilie:

    70-85lbs to lose anyone else?

    Hi, I am scheduled 1/19 in Mexico. I would like to lose 75-80 lbs. I have been very nervous since I set the date. I have two friends that have had the band done with DR Joya and have done very well. I have read as much about him and his successes and or failures (which I haven't found)as I could find. Hope all goes well with you. Keep me posted.
  12. hi, I am also schedule jan 19 in Mexico. I live in Washington state. Hope you all the best.
  13. Jan 19 for me. I didn't have to jump through insurance hoops, just had to save my pennies. I am going to Mexico. Two of my friends went to the same Dr.
