Hi fellow sleevers :)

So the surgeon has approved me for surgery and I will be heading to Tijuana, Mexico in about 5 to 6 weeks! Just have to set the date and I am booked and ready to go! After a lot of research I decided to go with Dr Ramos Kelly. I can't wait! So excited for my next chapter to begin.

Is anyone else going to Dr Ramos Kelly or having their VSG surgery around the first week of March?

Yes I have watched all of her videos. And so many others on youtube. I've just started doing a vlog as well just in case anyone wants to watch mine. I know how inspired I have been by watching everyone!

Officially booked in for 29th February! I thought if I am getting it done at the end of February on a leap year, I should use it wisely. The countdown is on! 5 weeks and 6 days!

      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.
