Just got my stitches out and drinking ginger tea for inflammation, I am so happy to have had surgery and breast lift at the same time. I am looking forward to cottage cheese, still on a liquid diet. Still in a pain in my breast, but in the long run will be very happy.

During this 30 liquid time, the most important thing is minimum 64 oz of liquid daily, 40-grams protein, and liquid vitamins.

Blending all soups, I've been making really runny protein and greek yogurt shakes 3x a day due to low energy, trying to walk cause know we will drop weight fast. I've learned sadly extra skin may be my friend some of it can be prevented. Even thought most of its gone, how much have you lost ? I haven't thrown up like on the band but have cheated on some nuts. Also know from Band past need to get on daily vitamins, as I was so deficient and now terrified of not getting enough enzymes. I just got really low with the band in my obsession to be thin. Not worth being sick though. Hydration is key to detoxing and flushing toxins from my body, trying to get 64oz water daily, Cutting fresh lemons & limes for water is helping get water in. Glad today was the last dat for cipro, then lots probiotic yogurt . I am so craving potato chips. So we are moving on, I keep reminding myself not to focus on a recent mistake You can't change th e past, but worrying about it can change the future by bringing you down and leaving you in a stressed-out. Let go of anything that has already happened, and concentrate on the road ahead. The horizon is quite bright, but you will only see it if you stop looking down and start looking up. Move forward one step at a time if that's all you can muster, but move forward.

Patti Lissberger and Jerusalem Hospital bother were fantastic on my recent surgery and would highly recommend both. I can say with a great deal of certainty… Patti Lissberger truly prepared me for the road that was in front of me. She has dedicated her life to helping others find their path when it comes to weight loss surgery. She is inspirational and spends a great deal of time educating people who are having weight loss surgery. I met several other patients while in Mexico, and cannot begin to tell you how much more prepared I was… All the patients received excellent care, but Patti helped me to the point that I was sharing her knowledge with other patients. She even took the time from her calendar to go with me to Tijuana. I don’t think I would have gone through the process if it hadn’t been for her. What is extremely important to take from my situation is this… There are some great surgeons and some “not so great” surgeons… The combination that will give you the success that you are seeking is to have the right coordinator. I learned a lot while in Mexico and realize that I am very fortunate to have Patti as my personal “Patient Advocate”. She is the one person that you can trust and count on throughout your journey. She makes herself available 24/7.
