Hi, I have all good things about Dr. Ponce DeLeon. His going to do my surgery also. I am scheduled for Nov 10 and would love to do it sooner. If I can't do it in November the next avail date will be in December maybe around the 10 so maybe I will see you than...at least at the Recovery House.

4 days away from my 1 year anniversary...doing well and feel great! Down a total of 92 lbs with absolutely no problems, except if I take that one bite too many...then I feel awful and have to vomit. You will quickly learn when to quit! lol

Nothing like driving down the road and having to tell your husband to pull over now! Would I do it again? Absolutely!

Happy Holidays Everyone!

Yay, Julie, you are doing so good! I know when I hiccup, it is time to stop or bad things are going to happen, lol. The funny thing is, the dogs have learned that sound and get really excited because they know I am done eating and they get the leftovers!

      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.
