Please forgive me as this forum is getting pretty large. But I want to welcome both of you if this is your first time. This is an exciting time in all our lives, but can be alil scary too.

We have a great class of people here who are most likely experiencing the same feelings and we try to help each other through our difficult times.

Our very own futureskinnypants will get your names and dates on the surgery board that she has put together. Bare with her as we have been working her hard with all the new August recruits.

I want to wish you both the best of luck on your journey and I hope its everything you have dreamed of.

Agreed, with only one rebuttal. Sure the other side may be greener but I think we will still have our fair share of freak out moments. After all we are all going to have to learn a new way, that alone is stress enough for freaking out.

Good Morning ladies =) I have my date, August 27th with Dr. Lopez and Dr. Osuana in Tijuana Mexico. I am 33 on August 2nd and 5'2 and 230ish. I need to lose aprox 120 lbs to be healthy. Genetically speaking....well I have one thin cousin ;)

I am sooo thankful that I found this thread. Waking up panicking about this decision has not been fun the last week or so. I sent off my deposit yesterday, booked the flights and updated my passport (it will be here by the end of July) ....so now I get to stew...yup, pure delight....

I chose my doctors from review lists, and the fact that I got two for the price of one appealed to me. As some of the doctors down there are on call for more than one hospital and don't have time to come and check on you. I wanted to make sure I could improve my odds if something should come up to have a doctor see me sooner rather than later. Cost also was a factor, not going to lie. I am a self pay. I am using A Lighter Me to coordinate the surgery which is nice too, because then I know that a third party that is knowledgeable in these matters can guide me with my apprehension. I have two amazing daughters, :wub: and want to make this process as easy as possible on them. So, having someone setting everything up and doing it via email is easiest so that they don't have to worry as much. ^_^ As my 11 year old has rather large ears lol.

Good luck and peaceful dreams till your journeys hit fruition.

Hey guys! Welcome new comers! Congrats on getting your dates!! Here is the updated list.

Question of the day- what type of exercise will you do after your cleared? Dvd's? Treadmill? Running? Walking? Gym? Wii? Weight lifting???

I've always wanted to be a runner, i feel so free when I run (or when i used to) I can't wait to run my first 5k :)

I'm on day 2 of my pre preop diet. I will weigh in tomorrow morning and let you all know how its going so far. The shakes i'm drinking are muscle milk light, no sugar added. I have chocolate and vanilla and i think they taste pretty good. After 4 weeks I may not think so though :) .

If your on Facebook please click the link in my signature and add me. The support there is wonderful. There are so many pages, people, and groups for additional support / friends. Check it out. Also, as many of you know I will be VLOGGING my entire experience. Recovery , weigh in's all of it. So please click the link on my signature for that too and subscribe to me :D Is anyone else vlogging?

Holy Smokes!! August is looking like one busy month. Wonder if we are going to be the top month on the boards. Mrs Skinny Pants, you have done such a great job. I know I've said this before, but thank you for all you are doing.

      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.
