Thank you. Keep in touch...any questions, feel free to ask. Where was your surgery and who is your surgeon?

Hi, I'm in San Diego. My surgery was on May 23, 2011. To date have lost 30lbs. It's slow for me though. I need to exercise more but am so tired from work. Hope you are well and losing lots of weight.

Sorry, I have been ill for the past few days. I am having some work done in one of my bathrooms so could we meet next week?

Liberty Station is good for me...close to my job.

I am open to what is best foe everyone else. I don't have children so I am flexible. As for the surgery, I am doing well. My weight loss is really slow...very frustrating.

Thanks for the tofu recipe. I didn't like it before but I will try your recipe. It sounds yummy.

The week of the 18th is good for me

No,mine was at Scripps Mercy...Kaiser paid for everything...a true blessing

Early August is fine with me. Let me know the date. I'm not familiar with the place but I will find it. You can e-mail me anytime. Best to all of our San Diego Buddies.

Keep watching this post. I too will let you know when and where.

I would love to know the cost of this kind of suit and where to purchase.

I'm sorry, I thought I had replied. You are so close to your date. I would love to meet you and offer any support that I can. USMCWIFEandTEACHER and I will meet sometime the week of July 18. Keep me informed of your procedure if we don't meet before. I work at night so Fri and Sat anytime is good, all other days...early is best.

Sounds good to me

Would love to meet...work at night so any Friday or Saturday is good or early all other days

I was sleeved on May 23,2011. I would love to connect and compare notes and get advice

I was sleeved on May 23, 2011. My grocery list is: Knudsen fat free cottage cheese (tastes better because it is not slimey), greek yogurt, low fat cheese, Swai fish fillets, salmon, pinto Beans, tuna,sugar free mixed berry green tea,shrimp, scallops, crab meat spinach, cauliflower, fresh peaches, and mangos. I usually have my Protein shake for my Breakfast meal, broiled fish with home made mango salsa and a small salad for lunch, and cottage cheese and fuit for dinner. I mix it up and alternate meals so as not to get bored. Good luck

Hello everyone, I had my sleeve done on May 23rd,2011 at 2:45pm at Scripps Mercy Hospital. My surgeon is Dr. Laurance Tanaka. My beginning weight was 223 pounds. I am 5'6" and 51 years old. The surgical experience and the staff were great. I have not had any problems or complications. I stayed in the hospital for four days. The night of surgery I was up walking with my iv pole in tow. I walked several times a day while admitted and attended the exercise class offered for post surgical patients. My one week discharge appointment yielded a 14.5 pound weight loss. I encourage everyone to comply with the program. Follow your doctors instructions, exercise (walk), and stay hydrated. I am now intaking about 40 ounces of fluid daily. My diet is one protein shake a day and all protein soft foods. Currently I am eating fat free cottage cheese, mashed beans, greek yogurt,soft fish, shrimp, scallops, and crab meat. Eggs and tofu are encouraged however I don't like either. My next appointment is June 29th and I will be introduced to more foods. I look at this opportunity as a new beginning and I look forward to returning to my previous vigor. I am happy to be on this site and I will answer any questions.
