Anyone in here use Dr. Alvarez?

I did not but in my research of Doctors in Mexico he was in my top 2. He seems personable and knowledgeable. He has so much info out there that helps the entire community with his podcasts, YouTube videos and his Facebook group.

Oh, you are so on my wavelength! :)

Sorted through all my clothes this weekend and organized them by size. Pretty much a nerd, but I don't care. I'm just so stoked that I won't be in my fat clothes for too much longer.

More worried about making it through the pre op diet right now. At least without killing anyone........

Looks like we will be in recovery together. My surgery is March 31st at Santa Fe medical with dr.jesus lopez. Right now I'm doing the pre opt diet.

Helloooooo to aaaaaall, i seen activity hoppin in this thread and it seems like just yesterday i was in here gathering info and anticipating the day! April 25th will mark my one year sleeversary :D i will say to the newcomers...it's been the BEST decision of my life! dont compare ur journey to anyone elses. i expect to be another 10lbs down by April 25th to bring me to 190! I'm not rushing to get to 175 and the KEY is to eat right. i've had so many stalls n scales goin up n down becuz i was still in fat girl mentality. i still enjoy buffalo wings i just dnt eat 10 but 3 or 4 lol. pizza and marinara pretty much makes my stomach funny so i dnt eat that (alot) NO WHITE BREADS AT ALL or carbs for that matter. listen to ur body. once you get in the habit of eating better you'll realize that fried chicken wasn't so good after all. do i eat plants all day...of course not cuz im human lol. i can still eat whatever i want i'm just more mindful of it. I have a trainer in which i work out 2-3 times a week that's helped alot and it's truly a lifesyle change. im learning everyday to get better.

congrats and good luck april sleevers!!! ;-) you'll look back in a year wondering dmn why didn't i do this sooner.

      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.
