Hello All. Today marks my 5th week completed, post op. I have only lost 4-5lbs in the last week and nothing in the last week. I am frustrated. Did anyone go through something similar in the same time period. I have always failed diets so my natural inclination is to think that I am going to fail at this. I am down 26-27lbs post op, however.

I went through A Lighter Me and had an excellent experience. My coordinator was Janese and she would respond to my emails at 11pm at night. She was amazing. In fact she has checked in since the surgery to see how I was doing. My surgeon was Dr. Lopez and Dr. Ortiz took out my drain tube. They, too, were amazing. I also found that Abraham and Eduardo were overly accommodating. They took my friend who joined me on the trip wherever he wanted to go. As a result, I tipped them well.
I am sorry you had a bad experience but I believe it was an isolated one. I would hate to see their excellent reputation suffer because of a unique experience.

Hi everyone. My name is Jay and I was sleeved in Mexico by Dr. Alejandro Lopez on March 21st. I am down 26lbs and feeling great. I had an amazing experience in Mexico with the doctors and staff. I went through Janese at alighterme.com. I paid about $5k with airfare and was quoted $35k from a local doctor.
Take care,
Jay

I only took two doses of narcotics and then had non-narcotic pain meds. I was fine.

I was sleeved there on the 21st of March with Dr. Lopez. The patient coordinators, Abraham and Eduardo will take you parents out to good areas for shopping or for food. The areas they will take them is safe. They also can spend time at the Mariott which is nice. I had an amazing experience with the staff and doctors. I can't say enough good things about the entire process. Be sure to tip the patient coordinators/drivers as this is how they make most of their money.

Fage is the best in my opinion.

I was sleeved by Dr. Lopez at the Mi Doctor Hospital in TJ on March 21st. The care was top notch and I am recovering nicely.

I trained Jiu Jitsu and Judo for many years and can't wait to take a lighter me to the gym. Good luck on your return.

AA works if we completely give ourselves to the program and follow directions.

I was feeling very weak, irritable, and tired and I realized that I was not getting in enough carbs. So I ate a can of green Beans along with my 100% Protein Drink, and I feel a lot better.

Best of everything to y'all!
I am having surgery on March 21st with Dr. Alejandro Lopez in Tijuanna.
-
I require a nap or two during the day now that I am on the preop diet. Anyone else?
-
Day 3 of the preop diet and I'm down 4lbs.
-
I am on day 2 of the preop diet with surgery on the 21st. I purchased Isopure Protein powder from GNC. I have Mango/Peach (I think it has peach). It doesn't taste too bad. I am also drinking Pure Protein drinks from costco.
At dinner I get to have a small portion of meat and vegetables. dinner has never been so satisfying.
Good luck,
Jay
