  1. Breath! it'll be alright. Most everyone gets a little nervous just thinking about surgery. Think about all the good things coming your way.......
  2. Think positive, pray often, it'll happen!
  3. Everything happens for a reason, I believe! When I decided to go to Cancun and use dr. verboonen, I could find very little info on him. That worried me. But, I prayed, felt at peace and jumped on it. I couldn't be happier. I have recommended him, whenever I see people wanting to go to Mexico.
  4. Too bad your not going to Cancun for your surgery. They have about 4 non stops a day from Atlanta. That's where I went, and it my family had a mini vacation while I was sleeved.
  5. Love chinese. My sleeve could tolerate 2 pieces of sushi, and 1/4 cup hot and sour soup, around 10 weeks, If iremember correctly..Now I can eat more, but You have to eat slow, or you may get sick.
  6. I was sick and in pain for about 8 hrs, throwing up bile. Went to the emergency room and It turned out I was having a gallbladder attack. They ended up removing my gallbladder and no more problems with that. I would get another doctors opinion asap!
  7. It seems as If the people starting with a low BMI, lose slower. Have you measured yourself? Sometimes when the weight isn't moving the inches are. Are you counting the amount of carbs your getting? If your eating, and drinking your protein and water, the weight will come off. Be patient, hide the scale for week, see what happens. Good luck!
  8. I am so sorry that happened to you. People can be so rude. Thank you for raising your children to be better people!
  9. By day three, I was up and about. I did take a good long nap everyday for the first two weeks.
  10. Are you throwing up, in pain or running a fever? If so , call your Doctor ASAP if not, your probably fine. But if your really concerned you should call your Doctor. Your body is healing, and needs to rest. Walking the first week is probably all the exercise you need, Wait six weeks for anything strenuous.
  11. I've had these, and they are good! Wish they had more protein, kind of low for me. I still have a few pounds to go before maintenance..
  12. I really, really miss my sodas!
  13. Glad to hear that your feeling great! The process of healing is much easier when you have the right attitude.
  14. 7 months post op. It depends on what I'm eating. If it's on bread, "like a sandwich" I can only eat half. Any kind of meat is around 3 or 4 ounces. I love sushi, and max for me is 4 pieces. I can put down a good size salad, not sure of the weight, though.
  15. Wow! I can't imagine what you've gone through. Thank GOD your still here!
  16. Just realized, I said "pretty much', the same thing! LoL
  17. You will be able to eat your favorite foods again. Just smaller amounts. And not for a few months. And if your lucky, by the time you can eat it, you won't really want it. Your taste will change and sometimes that's a good thing!
  18. And fixing my car, and opening jars that are stuck!
  19. No bread. I'm 7 1/2 months out, and I'm just now able to tolerate bread. Broth, creamy soups, yogurt, jello these things wont hurt your tummy, or make you slime like something heavy like bread!
  20. $30.00 per month. Includes all class like Yoga, Zumba and spin.
  21. Yaah! Prayers for a quick surgery and faster recovery!
  22. If you purchase non-refundable, at least 21days in advance, you should get the best fares. The closer to departure the more expensive the ticket. Some airlines will charge you extra for the best seats, the ones with the most room. It may be worth paying for.
