You look great!

You have me! But seriously, you are going to have people that just don't get it and people that do. I was at GNC looking for Protein shakes, Vitamins, and other things since I will no longer be getting the nutrients that I need through food. And I finally told the guy who was helping me because I kept dancing around why I needed certain types... And to my surprise he was really supportive and helpful and patient with all my questions... Oh did I mention that he had a very sexy body hehe With that being said, we will experience both sides of the rainbow... The good and bad. People that tell you that you can do it on your own who have never been overweight and people who are overweight... Which confuses me??? Oo

If you are in Houston, we'll have to get together some time... It would be good to have someone to chat and hangout with who's going through this as well.

I don't know why I thought it said all liquids for 2 weeks, I will have to go and re-read that paperwork.

Medifast is similar and a little cheaper

Aaahhh... That's good that you didn't have to push it too far back.

I believe they do. I use Priceline and sign up sp they can alert you when the price drops.

We'll see you there, our date is steadily approaching!

3 weeks until we are in Tijuana! Time is going by soooo fast! Are you ready to start the preop diet? I went to GNC yesterday and got some shakes and Vitamins and other things.

Wow you look great and your weight cane off really fast!

That's true... I guess for me, I would still look big as I remember being around 180 and was still quite large, plus that's too close to 200 and I don't ever want to see a 2 in front of my weight again. I am not stuck on the #s but when I look in the mirror and at my body... And not look fat, that's when I will stop losing.

The surgery is done on the actual stomach and not the abdomen or abdominal muscles. But your abdominal muscles could be due to the weight gain which would need to get fixed/ tightened by having abdominoplasty aka tummy tuck.

Could you all post what a day looks like in regard to you preop diet? I will be starting in a week or so... Scared and excited! Thanks

And no matter what you do in life, people will find an excuse not to like you. When you were big, it's not that they liked you but tolerated you because you weren't a threat. Whether it's a threat to job, attention, etc. Now that you are smaller, with a bomb personality... People can't help but to be drawn not just to your beauty, but to who you are as an individual. Now mixed that with other insecure people and their true self is finally revealed. All you can do is pray for them, show them how you are unbothered by their antics, and keep marching with your head held high.

I am also going to MX... Dr. Garcia is my surgeon!

The area is really of no importance to me, since I reside about 1 1/2 hrs North of Houston. I pretty much have to go to the city to get anything done. There are a few doctors in a neighboring town of mine, but some will see you but don't believe in WLS.

Whooohhooo just purchased my ticket as well!

I am currently looking for a PCP that are taking new patients. Particularly interested in someone who supports WLS and are willing to take someone who has had surgery in MX. Any information and help is greatly appreciated.
