    trvlgrl got a reaction from zmdh39 in Dr. Sergio Quinones vs Dr. Alejandro Lopez   
    I just had my sleeve surgery with Dr. Quinones on October 23, 2014. His staff is great and I love the nurses! I didn't have hardly any pain afterwards and just a little gas pain. One of the staff even took me for a walk outside so I could get some fresh air. I went alone and was well taken care of from beginning to end. I do recommend Dr. Quinones and his staff.

    @@FATBGONE - I'm the same way! I still have hunger and my sleeve let's me eat almost anything! I'm losing slowly but I think that's a good thing.
    I have a really hard time remembering to get my Protein in. I get busy and just drink some flavored water to shut up my tummy from growling. I've got to start doing better. I can definitely tell the difference with my weight loss when I get all my protein in.
    As for going back to work, I went back to work 10 days after my surgery. I felt really good. I work a desk job from home so that made all the difference. Plus I just think I'm a fast healer and bounce back fairly quickly.

    My doctor told me that the pouch won't stretch that much because when they cut part of the stomach out it's the part that stretches the most. So, I wouldn't worry about stretching your sleeve.

    trvlgrl got a reaction from curvycurlyfit in Has anyone not told anyone about having surgery?   
    Well the main person in my life that I didn't want to tell is my mother and I'm not able to dump her. ???? The reason is that she would worry herself sick. I mentioned it once and she started sending me information about different diets. i mean lots of emails! She wouldn't be very supportive but that's just who she is. She's 5'0 and maybe 125lbs. She's never had much of a weight problem so she doesn't understand what I'm going though. It's OK, I'm the type of person who really doesn't need a support system. My husband has been there for me and that's really all I need.

    Good morning fellow October sleevers! I've got a question... This Thursday will be my 2 week surgi-versary and I am able to take a pretty normal swallow of liquid. I don't take more than one at a time but it doesn't feel bad at all of I take more than a little sip. Is this normal at this point?

    I had surgery October 23 and today was my first day back at work. I haven't had any issues but, I work from home at a desk so that makes a huge difference! I really think everyone is different so whatever works for you individually is what you should do! ????

    Hey all! It's been 7 days since my surgery (if you count surgery day as day one) and I'm doing great! I'm down 5.6 lbs since my surgery and am super happy with that! I'm honestly surprised how good I feel at this point. I have no pain to speak of and I have no problem getting my Protein in every day.
    Tomorrow I get to start on full liquids and I'm excited to have yogurt! I'm getting sick of sweet but have been adding protein to my broths. The shakes aren't bad at this point but I'm looking forward to not having to drink them anymore.
    Has anyone tried Kefir? If so, what kind did you buy and what did you mix it with? Or did you just drink it plain?

    That's fantastic! Congrats on the loss! I haven't gotten to with myself and I probably won't for a bit because of the Water weight from the iv. Well I might just put of curiosity...????

    My doctor gave me some pureed food recipes to try. Cream of Tomato and Chile Soup, basil mashed potatoes, meat stew, pureed legumes, chocolate and banana pudding and orange and cream Protein smoothy. In definitely going to try the ricotta bake when I get to that stage! Yum!

    True... I understand what you're saying. So much grumbling. It's funny when I'm around others because they're probably wanting to feed me to shut it up!

    Today is the day and I'm currently sitting on an airplane on my way to San Diego. From there i get picked up and taken to Tijuana to be sleeved by Dr. Quinones.
    I'm not as nervous as i thought I would be but there are a few butterflies around. I just want to get it over with and start my weight loss journey.
    See you all on the other side!! ????
