That's a great suggestion thank you so much. I couldn't believe how much that the milk upset my stomach. Cha Cha is right though, a lot of people on here have discussed having issues with milk, and I guess I didn't make the connection to myself until it happened! I will definitely get some when I am at the store tomorrow....my strawberry

I just had a cup of Unjury chicken soup for lunch and I ate the whole thing, no problem, and I am 13 days out from my surgery. I am going to avoid carbs, because that is a very slippery slope that I just dont' want to get on, but I, like you, have no problem getting a lot of liquid in. I think we need to feel fortunate that it's going so well for us.

I am sorry you had such a rough 24 hours....my first 24 hours were ok besides my sister harassing me to get up and walk around! I haven't thrown up at all, fortunately. I am glad to hear you are feeling so much better!

Overall, yes. My surgery went very smoothly and I was up walking that night. I don't have a lot of pain and my incisions are small and not super painful. Plus I was never really nauseous....I think he knows his stuff for sure. I didn't care for Tijuana, but that has nothing to do with Dr. Kelly or anyone that works with him! Ana and his wife (who do the coordinating and driving you around, etc.) are very nice and do their best to make you comfortable and feel welcome.

Wow good for you! I was sleeved the day after you, 3/15, and so far am only down four lbs. Not really that concerned about it, four pounds is four pounds, and I also feel pretty good.

I know this has been posted before but I wanted to ask again...what's the one thing you wish you had in the hospital when you had your sleeve done that you did not take? I am having my surgery in Mexico Thursday and I want to be as prepared as possible. Also I am thinking no jeans for a couple of weeks after, right?
Your advice and sharing would be appreciated.

I started taking B12, it was on the surgeon's list and I figure better safe than sorry....

I am glad to hear you had such a wonderful experience! 19 days until my surgery with Dr. Kelly in Tijuana and I can't wait to join the losers bench!

Sending you best of luck and happy tummy vibes! I am sure it will go great.

I am having mine on March 15th. You are two weeks ahead of me, but we are the same month. I would love to get a group of us going to connect and share experiences.

I am going to be there right between you guys, my surgery is March 15th! So excited and nervous at the same time!

Ok I am glad I am not the only one who thinks we are discriminated against with the big ugly flowers and gross patterns. Its like...we are fat, it's not that we have no taste in clothing! Ugh I HATE THAT!
Oh and I hate my double chin too.

So I bought my plane ticket for my trip to Tijuana on March 14th for my surgery March 15th with Dr. Kelly....I am beginning to feel like this is really going to happen! I am very excited, but also nervous and worried about what will happen here at work while I am gone since I am the only one in the company who knows exactly what I do and how to do it.
I have gotten myself off Diet Coke successfully, and now need to get off coffee, but I am planning on starting that around 2/15 so I am done with the withdrawal by the time I go for my surgery.
Just had to share my excitement!

My surgery is scheduled for March 15, 2012. I am getting very excited but also aprehensive...

Like Amanda, I will conquer my fear of meeting new people and my fear of no man ever finding me attractive again. Oh and that my weight is impeding my ability to get ahead at work.

I think it's great you posted this. I used the email and literally got a response from Dr. Kelly within two hours, and have exchanged a few emails with him since then. He is pretty responsive, and I seem to be having good luck just going through him directly.

Wow...it's like I have found my sisters!
I am looking forward to:
1. Having more energy
2. Wearing short skirts
3. Seeing my collarbones again
4. Receiving positive male attention
5. Not feeling invisible or frumpy
6. Being able to buy super cute clothes and not having to shop at the big girl stores
7. Wearing sexy lingerie again
8 Having my bras fit
9. Being more active with my six year old son.

I am also booking directly through Dr. Kelly, and am having my surgery on 3/15. I am looking forward to going, and am glad to hear about so many positive things about him and the hospital.
