Hi there! Dr Ponce did my surgery on June 15 & trish was my coordinator! My surgery went great! I also have little ones at home. When I came home from surgery I had an 8-month-old & a almost-two-year-old.... Even with my husband home--it was rough!! I was hobbling around on the floor on in my knees to try and avoid picking up my kids. Even going out of my way to not lift my children, I still ended up picking them up sometimes, and it hurt (I may have had more pain than a typical patient, but only because my surgery was revision from lap-band--so excess scar tissue). I guess what I'm trying to say here is, if you can get ANY extra help when you return, do it! But if you can't, you should be ok! :)

I am glad you had a great experience with Dr Ponce and Trish, it makes me feel more confident when I hear so many good things about them.

My kids are 10,8,6,3 and 15 months so thankfully my older kids can help when they aren't at school its when they are in school and my husband is at work that worries me. I maybe able to get my cousin to help on her days off. AH who knows LOL its something that came to me in the night while my mind was racing with all this stuff, I just can't stop thinking about it all.

      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.
