    March 28th..Mexico

    Is anybody stocking anything special for their surgerys yet? I have unjury, syntrax, jello, better than bullion, B12 and liquid vites ready to go.
  3. I think its cuz being GLBT has so little to do with our journey on this site. I know for me, this thread is an afterthought. Im usually looking at others more specific to the surgery. But it's nice to pop in here from time to time and see how everyone here is doing.
  4. Thanks DD. Congrats on your success. I expect to be a slow loser. I'm 5'0. And a bmi of 39. I feel good about my decision to have Dr. Kelly perform surgery. Guess I was just hoping someone had had a recent experience with the new staff. I know Omar was very personable (I prefer that personal touch. I guess) and good at what he did. Hoping the experience in its entirety is as good as others I've read.

    Vibroplate

    IMHO..anything that offers a full body workout by just standing there and being vibrated is about the same as "take this pill and get a beach body in 30 days while eating what you want"...smile, again..just my opinion.
  6. I thought u and your wife were headed to Garcia. I changed my mind a couple of times too. Its hard to choose, but you'll know when u find a doc you're comfy with. Good luck.
  7. Happy Holidays. Hope u had a great one!
  8. Congrats! Amazing and inspiring. I'm 3 months away from my sleeve. Your success makes me excited to get started!

    Pcp?

    I told my pcp. She feels I'm making the best decision for my health and is supporting me. She agreed to continue seeing me afterwards.

    Maximum Protein For Minimum Quantity?

    Another idea is Shrimp..highest protein behind Chicken. 3oz shrimp(approx 3-4 medium) = 18 grams protein. Easily packable for work/outings as well.
  11. Are u taking a B12 sup? Bleeding gums can be an indicator of a deficiency of B12. Try a sub lingual..walmart carries them.

    Dr.kelly Questions

    Measureofme and other upcoming Kelly sleevers, congrats. I'll be looking for your posts. I go 3/28 with Dr. Kelly. I've heard wonderful things and continue to eat up the info when I see other patients. So few post more than a few months out. The Kelly patient bloggers seem to fade out after a couple months. Lol I guess they are too busy enjoying life than to sit at a computer posting. Who can blame them? Good luck to you.
  13. Hope all is well! Congrats.

    Here In Tj!

    Hope your doing well. Best wishes fora speedy recovery.
  16. Amytug, I've noticed the same trend with the surgeons. I trird posting a sx date, starting wt,surgeon question before trying to gauge wt loss/time. It seems Almanza,Garcia pts lose faster. Im going to Kelly but I think his pts lose slower. He uses a 36. The others use a 32. Don't know if this is the reason, or if its truly pt related. The size of bougie difference is minimal but I wonder if it still plays a role.

    Dehydrating Foods

    Fresh market carries a great selection of dried veggies..green beans are my fave, beets, zucchini, carrot slices and many others. You purchase them by weight. But doing your own sounds like a great idea. You know what's in it for sure then. Hmm, thinking I may try this too. : )
