Hello everyone!

I am planning on going to Mexico in mid-August. I'm very excited and can’t wait to lose this weight. I'm 5'9 303 lbs. and a size 22. I speak fluent Spanish as my family is Dominican so I have no worries with communication. I have family that have been to DR for surgery so I'm familiar with "3rd world country" medical facilities.

My goal is to get down to 150 lbs... So basically 1/2 my sizes then depending on how I look after the weight loss I plan to get a full body makeover if needed.

I live in south FL so if anyone in my area is going to be having this done around the same time I’m looking for a sleeve buddy...

Thanks for reading my post!

Hugs

      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.
