Good for you. After 3 solid days the liquid is bearable. It is tough at first but you can do it

I hope so getting throught the first day I know will be super hard and I can do good at work it's when I get home I have no control I will have to be lock in my bedroom so I can't get to anything

Are you guys still doing the pen pal if so I'm interested I don't know if I sent my email

Ycathey@yahoo.com

I'm interested sounds like fun my email is ycathey@yahoo.com

I'm doing fine 2 more weeks before I start my liquid fast feeling great getting closer

I want to get butt injection and lower body lift I will let my breast be last,

To buy smaller clothes and feel confident in my own skin , to go to amusement park and ride all the rides and last to roller skates with my kids

Your doctor should give you a plan. The first month is a little rough. You do have to sip, sip, sip to get your Water in. Definitely work on getting your Protein in too. But don't progress faster than you are suppose to. Don't eat things you know aren't healthy. Always eat your protein first & stop eating when you feel full. Don't "graze" all day, cause you will definitely eat too much. My doctor also suggests no bread, rice, Pasta or potatoes for a year. I'm 4 months out & it's easier to get off track now. I could eat anything, but everything is not a good idea (even in small amounts). If you weren't given a plan, let me know. I will share mine with you. It progressed slowly over 6 weeks. It's definitely doable. Best of luck!

That's great boomgirl thank you for your support I would think all the meal plan are the same I personally would like your meal plan thank you

My date is on July 22nd and all that isn't bake and eaten after the Fourth of July will be given away ot thrown in the garbage and I will not bring anymore junk food in the house I have kids I give them spending money for their Snacks I have my frozen bday cake in freezer I freeze everything I dont eat up save it for another day or occasion but with the new sleeve I'm about to get I'm not wanting to sabotage my new weight and my success

Anything I eat I throw up, I couldn't take my medicine because I just kept throwing up even Water keeps coming up. I'm debating on going to the ER but I don't want my surgeon to get upset with me because he practices at a different hospital. My mom thinks I'm a hypochondriac but it's getting to the point where I can't bare it any longer.

If you have to ask go to emergency room save your life

Hey guys! Sleeved 2/19. Down 79lbs since preop. Just work the plan. Be committed! You can't just eat whatever you want in small amounts & be successful. I have no doubt that I will lose over 100lbs. As the weight comes off you will feel so much better!! It is a HUGE commitment though. Just prepare yourself for that. It has not been as hard as I anticipated. Best of luck to you!!

When you say work the plan , you mean just takes your sips of Water and drink your 2oz of Protein Shakes and not venture on to other food that's not on the list

Decided to go throught my fridge and cabinets and throw away trigger foods, you know the ones you go to when you having an emotional day. Will anyone else get rid of ice cream , cakes,cookies ,chips out the house before surgery and just have the house pack with healthy foods

I have a CPAP but have had no troubles getting liquids done, sorry I can't help

What is CPAP

I was wondering when the Dr has multiples patients for sleeve surgery on the same day what determines who goes first do they go by weight or last name or bmi or how the appt was made , anyone have an idea just a thought

So far I'm counting four surgeries for July 22nd I hope that's it for that day also hoping I'm first I wonder how he determine who goes first for surgery anybody has any idea

If you go to Mexico to have the surgery, most of the time that's out of pocket correct?

Yes everything is out of pocket but cheaper than USA

I'm in memphis tenn I'm having my surgery July 22 in Mexico

@@chocolate48diva I've also booked my sleeve with dr Illan on the 22nd of july, I'm cominf from Paris, I will be in Tijuana on 21st 11:30pm and you?

I'm coming from Tennessee and I will be there on the 21st at about 5:00 pm

Same date, different surgeon! Good luck! C.

Thanks candy well we both be in Tijuana lol at the same time

Who is doing your surgery? Mine is August 20 with Dr. Garcia.

Dr Illan is doing mines July 22

We just booked my daughter's surgery with dr Aceves in Mexico. I am having my surgery in US because I was approved by ins. My daughter was not approved. After my research I believe this dr is just as capable as any here in the US. I am very comfortable with her going there for the procedure.

Only by what I read he is a good Dr the Dr I chose is Dr Illan is very excited now I'm going solo I'm sure I will be quite nervous when the day arrive I'm not looking forward to the pre op lol

I'm new and mine is in July 22 in Mexico

I have my date and my flight it's July 22 I had a doozy with the flight times I did my schedule around the times I needed to be there and the time I need to leave in order to not have a over nite flight going back home is not as bad as going there but you live and learn

I got my surgery date schedule for July 22,2014 with Dr Illan anyone one else got that date schedule
