I love, love love the Mio peach tea!

I don't think the problem is that Dr's in MX won't accept it, its that Care Credit won't pay Dr's out of the country.

I went with Dr Kelly and Trish was my coordinator. She was fabulous.

That actually sounds good. Starbucks makes the single serve instant coffee packets. I wonder how well they dissolve.

My favorite was cottage cheese mixed with ricotta cheese,a little pasta sauce,a sprinkle of parmesan, heated in micro. So good!

I was in Florence Hosp for my surgery with Dr Kelly and I did not tip anyone in there. I didn't even think of it to be honest and had never seen anyone mention it. It is a real hosp, I was next door to someone receiving cancer treatment, and many others on the floor were there for issues unrelated to wls. I don't think tipping them is customary. I spent about $180 at Rays jewelry in the Revolution. It was all so beautiful! I tipped the driver $15 each way, hotel staff $2 or $3 depending on the situation.

You look YEARS younger!!

I was sure this was not going to happen to me since I have had such an easy time of it..then came month 4, lol. I do have long hair and I started taking Biotin right after my surgery. My hair loss is not noticeable to anyone but me, but I do notice! I have to clean out my hairbrush about every other day. It really needs to be colored too but I'm afraid to stress it out at all. I'm just trying to be gentle with it, get my protein, take my vitamins and wait it out. I'm down 51lbs so i will deal with it.

I have to say that I eat what I want to. The things I want to eat have just changed! I really no longer crave all the junk. I did just have a small piece of pizza and it was good Usually I do make good choices because i love my sleeve and want to treat it well!

That made me sad! I went to Dr Kelly a month after her and watched all her videos before my surgery. I'm sorry that she is struggling. She is such a beautiful girl. I can't wait until her next check in. I bet she will do great.

You look so pretty! I'm hoping to get to -50 this week!

I arrived the evening before and stayed at the hospital. They woke me up about 6:30 am for pre-op tests and i was in surgery at 10. I stayed 2 more nights, then off to the hotel for 2 nights.

I have to agree that the post surgery diet information was pretty lacking for me. I was sleeved by Dr Kelly and Trish was my coordinator. I googled post sleeve diet and found a few great guides from some US bariatric centers.

Thank you guys :wub: . I'm so happy I made the decision to have the surgery. Best thing I ever did for myself and my family.

Tears of joy! Why are my emotions tied so closely to my weight??? I got on the scale today and it said 179! The last time i remember being happy with myself was almost 15 years ago when i was in the 170s. Still have 30lbs to goal but feeling so positive. I think my mom would be so proud of me!

WOW! You really look good! Congratulations on your success so far!

Stunning! I am only a few months post op but it is stories like yours that keep me motivated.
