Tear Bear

Just wanted to know your experience and what Doctor you used, Looking at flying into San Diego, Thinking of a date around late July!! Do you know anyone with J.C.I which means accredited USA standards??

Hey Girl, I'm right there with you I want to go to Mexico I haven't made a date yet, I'm scared of failing, I love food, Its my only lover I've really ever known, although I'm married food still wins, Is this the right decision for ME?? I hate being fat, I own horses and yes I still ride, I'm the fatest person at the team sorting events, people look at me weird or at least I feel like they do, I'm at least 250 pounds, I would like to get to 140, so 110 lbs and I'm 5'4". I think you are so brave, I hope the best for you!

Your awesome cowgirl!! LOL!!!

Tearbear- trust me...the tool does work! When your stomache says your full " you will know - an be satisfied. Some ppl say I eat like a bird. But I get full on smaller portion and don't have the desire to eat more. They are used to me eating massive unhealthy amounts. Not any more. I've lost 85# now and my desire to be a couch potato has now turned to being outdoor and enjoying life!! I like jacks saying, your not giving up food , you just eat less and have the same satisfaction as if you ate the other way. However, it took me 3-4 months for my eyes to trick my plate it was smaller.

Thanks everyone, You where all sooooo good with information and support, If I have my surgery in Mexico would you suggest going to a nutritionist or just bariatric pal for info, I live out in the country, two hours to anywhere. So hard to make it to a doctor once a week, I don't have alot of friends or support people, I'm a cook at our school and this worries me as well. P.S Ya team!

I'm a week out of surgery and I have to set the timer on my phone for 15 minute intervals, so I don't forget to eat. Totally different experience for me. I'm use to chewing my toenails, so I won't eat. I'm only a week out, so not an expert at all, but don't worry about the eating. It won't be a dilemma. Your new stomach will give you the big "NO", if you want to overeat.

What do you think of having surgery in Mexico??

Thank you Maryannie! So did you eat at every emotion? I get nervous just thinking of giving up food, I eat even when I'm full, where you the same way?? Did you have your surgery in Mexico?

I'm pre surgery and I'm so afraid I won't be able to say no to food after the surgery, and my husband will say I told you so, Don't get my wrong he's a great guy but I really do like food, should I be concerned?? Is there any one out there with the same worries??
