They say money can't buy happiness but I've never been happier! I had the gastric sleeve surgery in Mexico with Dr. Ariel Ortiz on August 12, 2013. I've been fortunate that I haven't had any complications. I've lost 80 lbs. I'm not at the goal weight they set for me, 153. I'm actually 162 lbs at 5'8. When I get much below that I hear comments that I'm looking too thin, etc. Im happy with being in a size 8. I just need to tone up! Exercise has not been a strength for me. The past few months I've really had to remind myself that the sleeve is a tool to losing the weight but that I have to work at making healthy choices and making this a lifestyle change. I can eat anything and could quickly gain the weight back but I love how I feel about myself now. I no longer turn down social events because I'm embarrassed of my body. I'm now a confident independent woman. I'm so thankful I made the decision to trust Dr. Ortiz and get the sleeve! What a difference a year makes! -

Post-OP Vacation Q?
411angela replied to supermom223's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I like mixing whipped flavored vodka with flavored water. Taste yummy and I feel like while I'm dehydrating, I'm hydrating! Lol! Yes, I'm a dork! :-) -
172. I didn't make my goal but I'm smaller than I've ever been in my adult life so that's a great accomplishment!

Before And After Gastric Sleeve Surgery Photos
411angela replied to StacyS's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I was sleeved on 8/12/13. Pre-op weight was 242, Surgery date was 222, current weight is 174. I'm 5'8. Still want to lose about 20 more and firm up! I haven't been commuted to exercise like I should have been. Before Before Before Current Current -
After a long stall I finally had a 3lb loss!! Woohoo! Now at 174. Getting off my butt and exercising really does help!

I tried the shakes before my sleeve. They were ok but I obviously didn't stick with it. I don't recall how much protein they had but you could increase the protein by mixing the powder with skim milk instead of water but this also increases the calories. The shakes are best blended with milk and ice. I prefer convenience. I like the Premiere protein shakes from Sam's the best.
