Dr. Aceves week of Sept 28th!



Recommended Posts

Hello all, as most of us are aware Dr. Aceves will have his hands full of VST'ers next week. When I started this journey I was planning on traveling alone...now with my fellow VST'ers I don't feel as though I am going to be there alone at all. Would you please mind posting your arrival dates so that we know who we can find and when. I know there are numerous posts, but thought now that it is "crunch" time this might be easier to get a clear picture of who is where and when :thumbdown: so we can offer our support to one another. Also, if you don't mind loaning items to others, such as movies, please list those. I myself will be taking Pretty Woman, Shrek, Step Brothers and a few others yet to be determined.

Arrivng Monday 9/28

Departing Friday 10/2

I can't "weight" for this to all be over so I can start my NEW LIFE! :confused1:

Hey Gonna!

I'm arriving Monday the 28th also, but late (arr Canadian airlines), leaving Friday. I'll be the large short gal with longish brown hair and a very bemused expression. I will be bringing my laptop and probably some books. Anyone into online games?

Ivy what time are you arriving, are you going to be there by 1:00 for the drive with Ernesto to Mexicali? If so I will try to meet you over at your gate and then we can find Ernesto together at baggage. What online games do you play? Look forward to meeting you Monday.

I hope so! My flight arrives at 12:45. I'm arriving at..I don't know what gate. The airline is WestJet, flight WS 860 if that helps? My Dad might even be with me, last minute family turnaround, awesome! They aren't in favour of the surg but I want to get healthy BEFORE I get sick from being so heavy.

I'm really into world of warcraft. I may be a tad geeky. :thumbup:

We WILL NOT leave without you! That would be great if your Dad came with you, my parents weren't supportive either but understand now and actually are watching my son and then bringing him home from IL when I get home and had a few days to rest and recoup in my quiet house.

See you Monday, if I'm not at the gate I'm at baggage with the keys so Ernesto can't take off - LOL

I am very excited! I actually got my suitcase out to pack today - I think Ky.hen has been planning on her packing details for quite awhile. I am really looking forward to this, I haven't had anytime to be nervous but I'm sure once I am on the plane it will hit me. I feel like I'm going to camp - LOL

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
