  1. I take the Celebrate bariatric
  2. I add it to my water and I get my Water and protein .in . I can not handle plain water yet, I am 4wks out. I like pine punch and the grape
  3. Congratulations on hitting the onderland.. sometimes that is all it takes to keep the scale go the right direction.
  4. I guess some lose the inches and some the wgt. Thank you
  5. I might need to do a little something drastic. I have lost very little in 4wks. PO 9lbs first week and last 3wks 2 lbs. I started at pre-op 229 before surgery 213 and this week 202. I did change the time of day of walking to noon and even added some jogging. So maybe I need to eat a little bite of chocolate or ice cream. IDK I am afraid my stomach will react badly. I can tell you I have gone from a sz 24 to an 18 some 16's..
  6. Nice. I hope to be there soon. I am a very slow loser.
  7. 8/14 and 8/21 same wgt stall Today 202.2. Loss 2.4 lbs. total loss 27lbs
  8. Amazing transformation. Great job you have done. Keep it up..
  9. Idk remember my BMI and my start weight with Dr Hilmy was 223. I had already started my own diet. I have about 57 more lbs to go. My goal wgt is 140 to 145. Just in case some one is checking I DO NOT WORK WITH VBMC WGT LOSS PROGRAM OR DR HILMY. I can give you their phone number and an e-mail if you have questions.
  10. Surgery was 8/29 highest wgt 229 day before surgery 213 and today 202.2. I am losing very slow. I am down from a Sz 24 to 20 or 18. So I am loosing inches. My tops from 3x to 1x. This is only a month so I am being very patient. Protein is about 80 gms I drink 2 shakes a day I snack on jello or Dannon Carb and sugar control yogurt. Lunch or dinner might be ckn or tuna salad . Ground beef w/black beans and cheese low-fat. Grilled fish, or ckn. If I know I am going to be short on my protein daily goal I will drink some isopure.
  11. I was self pay mine has a clause no bariatric surgery. I went to Valley Baptist and Dr Hilmy because they have a better price on the sleeve. $8500 . Another MD had the band at 14,000.
  12. I had two consultations . I am self pay..........Dr Reyes suggested the band for about 14k. Dr Hilmy recommended the sleeve for $9,500. Dr Hilmy told me about the complications with the band. So this made it easy to choose the sleeve. I had surgery on August 29th and doing good.
  13. I am 3.5 wks and with pre-op 16lbs down and 9 lbs lost post op (1st wk lost only) I have been stalled. But my fat mass is going down and muscle mass is going up. I was wearing 22-24 and now wearing 18-20 tight 16. So my body is doing something correct.
  14. No change this week in loss . But I am down from sx 24 to 20 and some 18s.
  15. I was self pay. On my Cigna plan wls was not a covered benefit. I am glad I had it done.
  16. I decided to try chamomille(?) & lemongrass. So far so good no pain. I am not able to drink water. My stomach starts hurting. I am tired of crystal light and Diluted Isopure ..
  17. Question what time is your last meal and how many hours before bed?
  18. No way to reverse. They cut the portion out and usually send out to pathology.
  19. Awesome. I am always the photographer and I can not wait to have my pictures taken when I reach my goal wgt. Thank you for your inspiration..
  20. Congratulations to all October sleevers. You will all do great.
