VSG Sleeve with Dr Ponce in Tijuana, MEXICO!!!!!!!!

So after all this time and research I've finally purchased my plane ticket and paid the $500 deposit. I'm getting sleeved! I decided to go with BariatricPal and get Dr. Ponceto the surgery. Deciding on Dr Ponce was easier thN finding the right coordinator, David from BariatricPal was perfect. I can't wait to see how my trip goes. I go under the knife on the 15th April 2015. I'm honestly so anxious, I'm tired of being fat and immobile.
There aren't too many men on these sites so I hope this helps other men as well.
Anyway, its finally happening! I'm almost 6' tall and weigh 304lbs and my BMI is 42. Mytotal and final goal is 225lbs. My complete journey will be documented.
If you have any questions ask away!
Take care all my fellow sleevers :-)

Holy crap, and it finally starts! I can't lie I didn't sleep a wink... Nervous and anxious as hell!
I'm more worried of starving than the operation itself lol. I went out for a crazy sushi bufft last night. I had to celebrate the departure of this fat belly body.

Ok well, here are my measurements:
Height 5'11-1/2"
Weight 305.4 lbs
Waist 56"
Hips 49-1/2"
Chest 53-1/2"
Left thigh 29-1/2"
Left bicep 16-1/2"
Left forearm 13-1/2"
Neck 17-1/2"
BMI 42.5

Now I'm off to my wonderful kitchen filled with old disgusting non tasty food like, eggs, steaks, bread, pasta, potatoes, pork, bacon, ribs... did I mention it was disgusting food :-(((

But it's all good I get to have a tasty tea and shake!!! :-D
Pardon my sarcasm it's been bottling up lol

Ok well keep strong my fellow realselfers. All hail the liquid diet!!!


By the way, thanks for all the support in advance, it's about to get real nasty in my area for the next 14 days haha.

Today is my 3rd day on the pre op diet. Ok well let's start with the first day:
The first day I was pretty ok throughout the whole day, I had ate like a mad man the day before so that food kept me going for a while lol.
By evening time I got home and I started feeling cold, light headed and somewhat blurry vision. I threw on some jogging pants and a sweater and had a tea. I started to feel a little better but nothing significant until I decided to make myself a broth. Once I had the broth that helped my core temperature warm up. I think I was just going through a little shock.

I went to bed and woke up the next day feeling good I must admit. Well needles to say (I have a scale next to my bed) I weighed myself! I had lost 4.5lbs in 1 day!
I know its just water weight but man it was encouraging. I felt like jumping and dancing but I didn't want to waste much protected energy :-)
Anyway, so on my second day I did the same thing except for lunch I had a soup with 1 spoon of little lentils. I'm not sure I was allowed to do that but it kept me full pretty much the whole day!
Long story short I woke up the next day (third day morning) only 1lbs lighter :-(
Truth is that's still great but 1lbs next to 4.5lbs is a psychological difference.
I know I'm not supposed to weigh myself daily but that's something I just can't stop. It's become an addiction...

So last night was Friday night and my wife and I decided to go buy some teas, we went to Chinatown. I love their herbal teas in glass jars. So there I am looking at all this weird stuff and getting all captivated. I'm picking this and that and going full force with my questions. I ended up by buying just a few kinds, nothing much at all. Guess how much it cost me??? $98!!!!!!!!
Holy crap, I'm almost lost all my weight through shock right in that store!
Anyhow... I picked up my jaw and paid the guy, what else to do I need that stuff right? hehe... I couldn't stop ranting about my $100 tea purchase for the rest of the night, poor wife of mine had to endure that but thank goodness I was pretty humorous about it as well.
From there we decided to go see my parents and then I hit a wall, their food... Oh crap it smelt so good. I pulled through, I had only fish and a little cream spinach.

Well I finally made it home and so far I'm good for my third day.
