Congrats on your upcoming sugery. I had mine 1-19 and the pain was nit bad, only needed pain meds 1-2 times during the 2nd day, what ever they give you during sugery has a lasting effect. Brenda

Have you tried warm or hot tea?drink First thing in the morning? That helped me thru the morning blahs and nnow I'm ok with cold in the moring. Brenda

I'm doing the happy dance today, down 3lbs. last week I was up and down with the same 2lbs all week so I was glad to see they are gone. Brenda

Congraats and welcome too the losre's brench. Brenda

Congrat on getting your surgery date. I took my mom with me to help in the hospital. But didn't need any help when I got home. I live alone and just wanted to rest. If you have childern then the help might be good. Brenda

Hi all, I'm joining in, 4 weeks post-op and I've lost 30 lbs. I'm loving my sleeve. Brenda

Dr Aceves is a fantastic Dr.and the hopital is very clean. Check with them about thier currant fees, I paid $8750. Brenda

I was very cold also, possibly it's from lack of enough Protein. When I increased the protein it got some better. I was always cold pre surgery also though.

Once you get to the stage that you can have applesauce it is much easier to tolerate the crushed pills. For me this wasafter day 10.

Hi Youknowit, I had a dream I ate 4 BBQ rids about day 6, woke up thinking what did I do, I can't eat that I was still on Clear liquids. Freaked me out but then got a laugh out of it. Add some mpoore Protein in it will help with the hungry feeling, you should be far enough along to add in Protein powder mixed with water. Brenda

Sorry to hear you are having a ruff time, Hoping everydsy gets better. Walk, sip burp. Welcome o the sleeved side.

I am 2 weeks post-op and stopped taking all meds because my sugar levels where staying around 85-95 throughout the day until I started full liquids then had to start back on Lantus 40 unit 1 time a day, (long lasting insulin). More carbs and sugar in the soups and yougert I guess. Will be adding in more exercise this weekend so hoping that will help.I sure like the fact that I don't have to take the crushed Metforman that made me gag it tasted sooooo bad:thumbdown:. My hope is to get off all meds as the wieght comes off, we'll see. Brenda

Congrats on getting your date. You can do this for the next 3 week, think positive and your surgoen will be pleased and won't turn you down. This will be the biggest help to get to your goal !!!:thumbup: I was suprised at how just losing 22bls brought my BMI from 54 to 50. You can do it. Brenda

Weaning your self off carbs is another thing you can strat. I had a major headache during pre-op from the low carb deit , then from the no caffine. I was a big coffee and deit coke drinker, spent a week with the withdrawl headache. Congrats on getting your date, it will be here befoe you now it.

Good luck tomorrow, you're in good hands with Dr Aceves. We're waiting for you on the sleeved side. Brenda

I gained 10lbs, But know I'm down 20 in only 12 days. It's from the IV fluids they pump into you. Brenda

Congradulatoins on getting a date. Good Luck on your journey. Brenda

IT Was Barbara that had the clot, you might ask her.I have not had any complications thus far. As for me my PCP asst. was "optomisiclly cautious", his words, when I told him I was going to Mexico he was glad I was finally doing something about my wieght and didn't thinkI was going to be able to do this on my own, he was right about that. He understoood the reason for going to Mexico for the surgery due to the highcost in the states. His wife even went to canada for her Lassic Eye sugery and paid less that he did and hers included airfare and hotel for 2 nights. I would think that if your blood tests come back abnormal she would treat what was abnormal. Brenda

I'm feeling great, down 20lbs. Insisions are healing well. I went back to work yesterday, I was tired by late afternoon. My clients were glad to see me back. I guess it would be aliitle more comforting to know the Dr's although any surgery can be alot scary. Brenda

Youknowit, 3 more days, are you getting excited? Good luck you're going to love Dr.Aceves and Dr Campos Brenda

I whole heartedly agree, you are in good hands with Dr. Aceves.:blushing: Brenda

Barbara, That's good news, glad to hear you are on the mend. Continued prayers are coming your way.

Loser I am a wimp to pain also and am less likely to get up and walk when I'm in pain. Dr. Aceves gave us Superdol for pain if we felt we needed it, desolves under your tongue, they are non-narcotic. If someone is going with you they could pick some up at the Phamacia. In Mecicali there was several very near the hospital. Good luck on your up coming surgery.

OMG Barbara, Prayers go out to you, Hope all goes well.

Good luck Gary, You are going to do well. I just got hoome from there yesterday, I was very Impressed with the hole proccess, DR Aceves is very caring,also Dr Campos, And the Nurses were there to help with anything you need. Remember walk, walk, walk, sip ,sip,sip. Brenda
