  4. Normal is highly over rated. I prefer to be unique and a thread killer
  5. Thread killers anonymous!! Lol!!
  6. I though it was just me!! I thought I was the great thread killer!!
  7. Best wishes on your journey!! You are going to be sooo happy!! I'm a fellow Texan too. Amarillo here!!
  8. I choked it down when I was on clears because I knew I needed the protein!! I diluted it with water. It just left this weird stringy film in my mouth! Yuck! But clears doesnt last long and you need that protein!! Best wishes!!!
  9. Glad you aren't in Amarillo tonight. We are hunkering down getting ready for the blizzard.
  10. Congrats on your upcoming surgery!!! You will love dr ponce!! I had surgery 9/27/12 with him and I'm down 62 pounds!! Best decision of my life!! You will be in good hands!! Best wishes!!
  11. From what I understand, as long as you are on a ppi then you need calcium citrate.
  12. Was it a clear liquid the have you? Or a white chalky mixture? Barium is the white chalky one. They usually don't give that to sleeve patients. Usually they use gastrographin which tastes horrible!! So that's why they probably mixed it with kool aid for you
  13. Are you taking anything for stomach acid? A ppi like prilosec can really help!!
  14. The dasani pineapple coconut is AMAZING!!! Love it!!!
  15. Cake unfortunately is a slider food. It slides right thru your sleeve. Most high carb "bad for you" food are sliders. chips, popcorn, Cookies. DANGER FOODS!!! You're still very early out and like amazon said, still healing and nerves aren't fully functioning. Be very careful at this point!! You could so some serious damage. I'm glad you realized it was a mistake. Hopefully you can make better choices down the road. Best wishes!!! PS. Once you start on denser Proteins you will really feel that ristriction!!!
  16. I had surgery sept 27, 2012, with dr ponce de Leon in Tijuana. Down 60 pounds!!! Couldn't be happier!!! I have no regrets!!
  17. Do you still have your gallbladder? Could really be a lot of things. If it persists.... Please see your doctor. Best wishes!!!
  18. Here in Texas the surgeon I spoke to was $14k. I just didn't have that much and did a Ton of research and ended up going to a very reputable surgeon in Mexico. I am in the medical field and so I understand your concern about Mexico. But I can tell you first hand I received first class treatment and wonderful medical care!! Best wishes on your journey
  19. Unfortunately not all surgeons tell their patients the importance of staying on plan. You're not stupid, just not informed. Now you know and it sounds like you are taking it seriously. Hope the weather clears up soon for you!!! And best wishes to you and your family!!
