I was wondering how everyone is doing on their journey? I am finally past the rough parts and life almost feels normal except I need to watch out for snacking.

I had surgery dec 9th 2013 and have lost 40lbs so far. Finally am eating normal foods and feeling much more like myself. Still pretty low on energy especially with a long work day but working on getting calories in. Hydrating as best I can, but that's a work in progress too. Where are you at in your journey?

Hello WA friends! I'm happy to say "hello!" I'm Pre-op and still having some day to day ambivalence as it draws closer.

Hi I am from Spokane but we winter in Arizona. I am 73 & do not think I could qualify in the states so I went to Obesity Control Center in Tijuana highly recommended by friends & research. I was sleeved on 2/26 & have lost 21 pounds since I started the Pre-op diet 15 days before surgery. I followed all instructions & have had no complications at all. It was a very positive experience & was only $6500 including a 4 night stay at Marriott Hotel. Dr Ariel Ortiz has been on Sr. Oz, the Doctors, Night line & Dateline. Clinic picks you up at San Diego airport & takes you to Hotel round trip. Marriott takes us to hospital. My four buddies were from Toronto Canada. Oklahoma & Iowa

      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.
