Hi!! I'm Tina and new to this forum. Good to see that those of us who have chosen to walk down this road have support and for that I thank you all in advance!! :001_smile: I'm scheduled for the 5th of March with Dr. Jose Rodriguez in Juarez. (My insurance, unfortunately, excludes any bariatric surgery so I'm traveling to Mexico.) Have any of you had him as your surgeon or have heard anything? I've researched and researched to the wee hours in the morning but it's best to hear first hand. My best friend had gastric bypass with him and has done wonderfully but the more input the better!!! Another Q I have is does it really take 6-8 weeks for a passport??? if so I'm in TROUBLE and need to get on it! :001_huh:

If you're reading this I'd like to hear your "sleeved" story of what to expect...the good and the bad!!! Lay it on me!!! :001_tongue:

Have a great week!!

Thanks!!!

Tina

I want to wish you luck with the rest of your pre-op stuff. I have no info. on your surgeon, but I believe I've read of someone else on here who used him. If you click on my blog, you can read my journey thus far.

Hi DeeDee,

I just looked through your pics and such, you were gorgeous before surgery, and are the skinny gorgeous now. Wow. Too pretty! Saw what you posted the day of your surgery, about the liquid diet and being scared... I start my pre-op diet this Sunday, I'm scared and excited. Here's hoping my surgery is as successful as yours! You look amazing! Great work. :001_tongue:

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
