I am a pre sleever with Dr. Lopez and Dr. Osuna, I am so excited to go on August 27th and really start to win my war in this battle against obesity. I have two daughters 11 and 5 and a wonderful hubby. I can't wait to hear about your experiences and can't wait to share mine with you. =)

Hey there Leprechaun! Thanks for the invite. Well, this is cozy. I should have no trouble keeping up. Here's about me: I'm 45 and have about 115 pounds to lose. At 5'5" I'm 242 pounds and have joint pain, sleep apnea and high blood pressure. I also have 2 girls, 15 and 10 years . I'm looking forward to being free of pain and hopefully my meds. I used to love clothes and dressing up. It would be such a pleasure to wear what I want and feel good about my appearance. I'm so glad I found out about this surgery option and am eager to get it done. I'll be armed with some serious tools for success. Yay for us who have the courage to take our health into our own hands and make change for a better life!

you are going to LOVE Dr. Lopez! We just got home two nights ago. I feel amazing! The whole thing was fabulous. It felt like a vacation, not a surgery in Mexico.

HI!!! I am scheduled for Dr. Lopez on Ocotber 25th. I am soooo excited. Glad I found this group. Now I can get some first hand info. I have spoke with Janese (my coordinator) & made my deposit. Applied for my passport, wish I would have realized that it would be here in less than 2 weeks. I would have made my date for sooner. I have been considering surgery since my sister had her RNY in 2009. I know long time. I have just been waiting to get it right in my mind mentally. I am 36 & ready to change my life. I am married & have two kids 14 & 12. I will be traveling alone & ready for the journey to mynew life.

Hard to believe it's been three weeks since the operation. Wow time flies! I dropped 11 pounds in 6 days the second week, after I got home and then stalled for a full week after. Now I'm losing again. It is easier to eat healthy with out the constant hunger cravings. I eat 5 small meals a day and that seems to satisfy me fine. How are you all doing?

I struggle to eat, I am NEVER hungry still....but, it's about a quarter cup and I am done. I am losing and feeling pretty good, I just need to make sure I get enough sleep. Some of my girlfriends have bets on if I am just going to disappear lol...they are boogers. I am excited for this new me...scared out of my mind though...as frankly I haven't been THIS small in well over ummm 13 years. So, it's new, and scary... totally worth it though!

      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.
