I have been a Lurker for a while and decided to come out.

I am finally taking the step and doing this. I have the same story that my insurance said No way so I found other options. After many nights of thought and conversation I have choose Dr Ponce de leon and knocking thus outta the park..I am doing it the first week of January

. Just waiting to hear from Trish on the actual date. I asked for first week I would do it sooner but I need the ta, break being self employed

I hope to comment and post often and become a part of this Fab group

Welcome to the WLS Club. I am scheduled with Dr. Ponce for Dec. 17th. I cannot wait. Will surely keep you posted on the experience. Just got an actual time of surgery from Trish. Around 11-12 that day I will be on my way to a new life. I feel so lucky.

I had my surgery in Mexico by Dr. Lopez. The best decision I ever made... You won't regret 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.
