Surgery Date Moved Up! Anyone With Dr Joya Jan 21St In Puerto Vallarta?



Recommended Posts

I was originally scheduled for March 4th but couldn't wrap my brain around waiting that long and continuing to be off my wagon that long... so I paid a bit of extra money to switch my flight... well more like $300... but once I hit March 4th and see how much success I've already had (hopefully in the past 6 weeks) I'm hoping the extra $300 would be worth it...

Wondering if there is anyone else scheduled with Dr Joya that week!? Hoping for a sleeve buddy!

I'm still not having my surgery until March, but I wanted to say congrats on getting your flight changed. I know how badly you want to be started on your journey (me too, but I can't change my date :( ). I wish you the best of luck and much success!

PS. You can change your surgery date ticker--how exciting!

Thanks! I am definitely happy with the decision even if it cost a bit more in the end. That's too bad that you can't schedule it any earlier, but it will happen!! You will get there!! I wish you all the luck with yours and I will keep you posted :)

You are absolutely correct! I didn't even think of my ticker yet!!! thats soo exciting!!!

I am more relieved that I have less time to deviate/pig out :|

I think moving the date will get me back on track over the next month before starting the liquid diet.

I have more confidence and I am excited to get this journey underway a little sooner, a little concerned about the extra money but hey, i don't think I'll be thinking about it 6 weeks post op when I see my progress :D

I am still keeping it a secret at work though :)

I understand about keeping quiet about it :) I'm still debating if I'm going to tell anyone outside if close family. I may just tell people I'm on a low calorie high Protein diet and watching portions, which isn't a lie :)

The people at the facility I work at will know, since they knew about me trying to get it covered in Canada and had so many appointments to go to... however, I don't want them knowing I'm actually doing it in Mexico and that it's booked. I mentioned it to them and they've been on my ass every since... so after I've had it done, there's not a damn thing they can do about 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.
