So excited! I finally made a decision and booked with dr Ponce on sept 27th. I figured I better book it soon before I chickened out! Lol! This is something I have been wanting/needing to do for a long time. I've done tons of research and really feel like this is the right thing for me. Now if I can just convince my friends and family that think I'm crazy!!! ????

I'm so glad to have helped you... mcwestfam!! Slowly over time your family will see that this was the best decision you could've ever made.. my son still says but you cheated.. and i just tell him who cares.. i'm healthier now and happier, besides it's like any other tool, i'm doing now what i should've been doing because i have my tool eating smaller portions and staying away from bad food..My dad still thinks i was stupid but i've come to realize i don't care what anybody else thinks not ever in my wildist dreams could i have made this come true and i'm loving every second of it!!

      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.
