If you really want to watch some great videos on u tube watch the ones posted by kansas girl. She has been wonderful to video her progress for those of us using Dr. Ponce. Also type in Dr. Ponce and there is another girl who was so nice to actually start her video from the moment she got in the medical van from the airport. Its really cool!!! I think its Vsgbeauty

Kansas girl's videos are great, she's been doing awesome! She had her sleeve done a week before mine so we've kept in touch, and BeautyVGSJourney is who I believe you were referring to :) We actually made plans to have our surgeries on the same day, and were in the hospital and at the hotel together (my hubby and I actually appear in her post op video, we all went to the beach for the afternoon!) Her videos are great and so full of information, she really did her research! :D

Thanks everyone for watching my videos.. I highley recommend doing this.. trust me i didn't want to get in front of the camera either.. but wow it is amazing to look back and see what you really looked like.. i still can't beleive i let myself go so bad!! I'm loving this tool and i'm loving seeing all you going to my wonderful doctor. He was such a nice guy and answered any questions i had.. all of his staff were very knowledable and they made me laugh and feel very comfortable.. although i had to ask my hubby how he felt about my cardiogram with the cardiologist Dr. Leal (girls he is funny and a cutie) I didn't realize i'd be topless for that.. but it was all good LOL I just laugh about it now. Dr. Leal is great!! Good luck on all of your journey's can't wait to hear about them and join me on this side it's an amazing journey!!

I know what you mean, Holly! I thought Dr. Leal was pretty cute too when he came in, then all of a sudden he popped the buttons on my johnny shirt to do my cardiogram, I had no idea it meant having a boob hanging out! Lol! Dr. Hector was a cutie too, he had the whitest teeth I've ever seen!

      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.
