Poor thing. This two shall pass we r rooting for u

Keep up the great work..we all need to egg each other on

For what its worth. Last year my bmi was 3o. I weighed170. Mind u ive been obese always...205 at age 21. Ik 5 ft 4. But menapause has reactivated my weight gain with a vengeance..yep im on thyroid meds...so i go a year ago and talk to a Doc hear in Va who says why to thin,,,,great. Could go to mexico. But just not for me...so here i am a yera later now 185 still being told u r too thin to qualify. So 12,000 later and a trip to NC and Im sleeved..for me it was the only option.,! At worst Ill stop gaining at best ill get healthy under 150 Keep tuned in

I egg beater with 1 piece cabot cheese melted in. 12 g prot. 110 cals 1 protien shake 150 cals 14 gr 1 protien shake 110. 23 grams 2 ice pops. 95 cals 1 string cheese 50 cals 6 g prot Hummus. 70 cal 6 g prot 1 Jello. 10 cals 3 bottels Water Total. 595 cals. 61 gr prot. Getting there. Dr says 800 cal by day 7

Obesity kills...even if its just 40 lds ....ive been 75 lds over weight. Now im 40. This year,,my knees back hand and feet are filled with arthritis....not tot mention I am hyperthyroid..and am on cholesterol meds..two years ago I was 20 ponds thinner...at 57. U can figure out what my health destiny would be if I didnt take this journey. At best ill meet goal 145.....stop cholesterol meds..,and take the pressure off my limbs..,at worst I will have stopped the progress of a higher bmi. Higher weight and improved my quality of life..win win. i think. But hope for my goal weight!

12,000 self pay.

I spent nearly a year deciding if I should pay to go to Mexico...I have heard great story's about the Drs. .but ultimately my hubby and I were not comfortable with the distance..,not comfortable with going to Tijuana. In the end for me I made the correct choice..I did end up traveling 5 hrs to save 5000-10,000. I did spend twice what mexico charges.......But it was in the Usa. And a car drive for check ups a few times a year.

My biggest issue is letting it happen in good time..,,,i need to just slow down. If im hungry sip another shake rather then goi g thru the phases too soon..,,im starting to think positive,..im getting past can i do this..its just a matter of waiting and slowing down for me...reteaching to sip not graze. Use my jellos and ice pops for the i need something now. Heres hopeing we all get our dream of health

I have always been a gulper trying to hard to sip slow...otherwise i get pain under rib cage. Retraining myself

Dr tood me get in 4th shake a day that hsould take hunger away,,,,then thursday start pureee greek yogurt. Hummus. Rigota cheese..soup no lumps...

Ive been belly sleeping no prob. Only pain is upper left of belly when coughing or getting up and down..,keep the faith. I also had a Bm yesterday feels so much better..stomach very little swelling left...

But hungry waiting on dr to call back about that..may get me to next phase sonner..also when can u start exercising..i had a hiatal hernia as well.

Never even considered that reducing the stomach by 80 percent would result in being hungry..but here i am day four ..and hungry....my reason for doing this surgery was so. I could cut my calories and protien without being hungry. And loose the weight ive gained 40 lds,,,,..today I had An egg.,,a protien hot chocolate..,a protien shake...a protien soup...ice pop, jello. 2 botteles of water.2 ..Tabelspoon of rigotta cheese. hungry. Its only 630 at night and im hungry. Sipping black coffee. .,im so worried if this continuees i wont be able to maintain 800 calories. Any advice

I was sleeved same date..good luck
