You sound just like me c: I will be sleeved on August 13 and I bought a stationary bike, hand weights, I did an 80% liquid diet for a week to get an idea, lost 10 lbs and have kept it off, will do like a 90% liquid diet next month and then even though not required I will do a two week liquid diet before surgery. I started take all the vitamins I need to include pro biopics for healthy bacteria which is good when have abdominal surgery, so that I will have a routine because I can never remember to take meds, so far so good, I am working on caffeine and and liquids before and after meals... really hard.... I am getting in all my protein and water... mmm oh yeah Biotin... I hear a lot of people say it doesn't work for them but I'd rather try and be safe than sorry... nails already look really good, mmm I am starting to stock up on broths and protein and whatever I need by then... I know I may not like it after surgery.. but it is good to have. I am using a preventive cream for stretch marks, I already have plenty from pregnancy but praying no to get to many more... I am interested to see what others have said to your post, Good luck!!!

Yea even though you tried to drink as much as possible, that all points to dehydration, just keep an eye on it

Congrats!!! -
haha I am a radiology student and I have to make this stuff all the time, but I usually have this feeling of wanting to drink it(I know weirdo), it has a faint mint smell.... Make sure you get lots of water in, and if you can take like milk of magnesia, that makes life a lot better after a UGI.

Anyone Considering Price Changes....
sabstar22 replied to Tia Noel's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
My coordinator told me she would honor any price from any other place (as long it was same doctor) so I was thinking about having the plication, but saw so many people against it, saying to just get VSG, so when I thought plication I found the coordinator I wanted but found the price about $500 cheaper somewhere else and she made a call to the hospital and they said they would honor it. So I looked for a cheaper price on my VSG but could not find anything better, but I am happy with with my price and Dr. now the plane ticket.... geesh -

I am working at an ortho office next week, I'll try to remember to talk to some of the doctors there, and see if they recommend that and or anything else.

A trampoline? For back problems? That just seems it would make it hurt worse, especially being in your lumbar region, and if you fall or mis step..... Did they say why they would recommend that?
-
I got that like a week ago and I blocked the person :/

me and my sleeve sister that I met from FL are both students in the medical field and we will have one week between surgery and when we have to go back to school, we are nervous but believe in ourselves and have faith in God to help us get through it. It will be hard, but it will be worth it, and it is do able, good luck

down 9 lbs just doing this liquid diet at about 80%.... and the fiancés response "well if you lose 50 lbs before surgery, are you going to still have it?" Yes It is about control not just losing the weight, I can get the lbs off, it's learning how to not yoyo and have some order in my life... right?
