Decision Made
Oct 03, 2012
After much reading, thinking and research, I have finally decided to take the big leap, or slow waddling step, towards having the sleeve bariatric surgery! I am scheduled with Dr. Ponce de Leon and Trish on Monday, November 5th, 2012 in Tijuana Mexico. I really can't believe that it is a go, can I possibly be smaller, healthier, move with less knee pain and enjoy a hot soothing bath again! It is exciting to dream of shopping for smaller clothes, being more mobile and not sweating profusely in the summer. I think the real challenge will come next year when the body changes, will the head keep up? What will it be like to eat food again? Can i enjoy the taste, texture etc. without needing to stuff it all in to my mouth even when already full to the point of pain? I can only pray that I will learn to use food to live and not live only for food. The surgery is my first step in the journey to a healthier weight.

First blog
Jun 14, 2012
Hi all,
I have been reading your blogs since last fall and I am finally ready to ask some questions. ( I recognized someone I knew's picture which got me hooked, felt like I was spying on her without her knowing!)
I am interested in the sleeve and will need to have it done in Mexico because my BMI is too high for Winnipeg.
I know that I can follow the pre-surgery liquid diet and the progressive diet of the recovery time BUT....
- how do you stop wanting to eat chips and chocolate in front of the TV?
- now hunger has nothing to do with eating for me, how does that change?
- what does a day's meal look like two years down the road?
- I suffer from depression, won't that effect the progress?
Thanks for the info,
