I was July 25th with Dr Hernandez and now I'm August 5th with Dr Almanza. My mom got hers done with him so I switched :)

I hate to be a Debbie Downer but you really need to search his name on Google. He has a horrible reputation as of late. Including deaths.

Hi. I'm totally new here, but I came partly to see if anyone else used BeLiteWeight like I am doing. I have mine scheduled for July 5. Really glad some others like me out there!

Hi. Sorry for that last reply I don't even know how to reply correctly on here yet. But I am using Dr. Rodrigues and Dr. Elmo at the Juarez hospital. So excited and nervous at the same time.

I'm using Dr Rodriguez in Juarez too! I'm scheduled for 8/11. I'm so excited to be able to hear about your experience before I head that way.

Do you plan on documenting your journey on social media at all? I'm thinking about doing mine on Instagram. If you have one, I'd love to follow you!

To Kindra11:

Hey that is great! I'll let you know for sure. I do find responding to messages on here confusing.

I do not have Instagram but you can email me. Or is there a way to just private message?

Thanks. Yup! One week and two days away...

      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.
