I am feeling awesome. Dr. Joya is great! Staff is great. Hospital is state of art better than a hotel. I had no complications what so ever. I considered Lopez in the very beginning of my search but as I continued to search, I decided to go to PV and have JOYA. I live in BTR.

what surgeon are you planning on going to in puerto vallarta? I'm currently in puerto vallarta and I had my surgery with dr. Joya. You can PM if you have any questions about him. I was sleeved July 1st and I am well pleased. I am AA and live in Louisiana.

surprisingly I'm doing good. Minimal pain and discomfort. Tomorrow I will really be able to tell you how I'm doing.

I was on a liquid diet for two weeks. I was sleeved yesterday, July 1st. The first 3 days of pre op was hard. After tHat, I was ok. I had moments I wanted to cheat but I didn't bc I kept thinking that if I cheat, I would be making it hard for myself during surgery.

I have gas pain and I find that when I walk, I burp more• that eases the gas pain for me.

I'm sleeved! Feeling ok. I think all went well. I will talk to doctor shortly.

great! Very close to Baton Rouge. Who's your surgeon?

yes! Scared, nervous, and anxious!!

yay for you!! I live in Baton Rouge. Having my surgery July 1st in puerto vallarta... Self pay.

in my opinion, you do it cold turkey. The first 3 days are rough with the 1st day being the worst. I'm day 11 no cheats so far and I'm fine. How many days do you have to do it?

I'm July 1. Today I'm feeling scared and nervous. I'm trying to stay positive. I'm so happy that my husband and teen daughter will be with me in puerto vallarta. I need that support system.

woohoo!!! Puerto vallarta... Dr. Joya... I'm so ready

Hi! I'm from Louisiana. I'm having my surgery July 1st in puerto vallarta mexico with dr. Armando joya. I'm 5'0...as of today, I weigh 183. I Am on day 7 of my pre op diet.

how much have you lost since wls?

i have told 2 of my 4 sisters and my best friend. My parents do not know yet. My husband and daughter will be there with me. We can do this. As I type this, my family is eating chicken wings and shrimp fried rice. My stomach is making noise but my brain is saying NO. let's keep this going. Support is awesome!

correction: I'm on day 7!

Hello July 1st sleevers! How are you doing? I'm completing day 8 of my 14 day pre op. My family and I will be leaving this Sunday, 29th for puerto vallarta mexico. I will say, day 1-3 was hell for me. After that, it has been manageable. I love the Premier Protein shakes strawberries and cream. I enjoy putting all shakes in the blender to make a shake. How are you people doing?

Day 6 of my 14 day liquid diet. Doc said cream of soups not liquid so broth it is!!! I am down 6 lbs. my head was pounding last night. Maybe bc I needed to drink more water. Tried the Pure Protein shakes today and they are good. Next Sunday I will be puerto vallarta preparing for the VSG. Let's go!!!

I wondering if I can have cream of soups. I was told broth only but I'm going to ask

thanks for that tip! I'm going to try that for my pre op diet

Yes, we were affected by hurricane Katrina. She kicked our butts. Lol! Hoping all goes well with the passport

Day 4 of of 2weeks pre op liquid diet. It seems like each day gets a little better. Made a protein shake using my EAS shakes this morning which was a little more filling than just drinking them straight. July 1st hurry up!!!

I started my preop diet yesterday. Liquids... Liquids.... Liquids! Yesterday my head was hurting so bad! Today, it hurts but not as bad. I have drank protein shakes...EAS, chicken broth, powerade zero, and jello. I have two weeks of this. Hope that as the days go by, this gets easier.

Did you expedite your passport? I did that and it arrived exactly 2 weeks. Also: check the website for the status. I leave june 29, the day you come back. I'm in Louisiana and we have a town here name Lafayette too.

What are some of the things you have used for your preop diet and what's been the most successful for you?
