  20. I need some advice..... I'm eating healthy and exercising. . But not losing anymore weight. I'm stuck. Sleeved on December 16 and I lost 30 something lb. But it stopped. Please any suggestions? ?
  21. Doctor Juarez was my surgeon. Good down to earth. also got the drink from them. It was to thick for me. I ended up buying a Protein powder from the health food store. I couldn't keep drinking the bariatic advantage. It was like cake batter. P.s. I love St. Lukes. It may be an older facility but the staff are amazing. They took excellent care of me and still do. I get phone calls from my nurse checking on me. Good luck your in good hands.
  22. Thank you so much. Your words are inspiring. I needed to hear that I'm going to get through this and we all make bad choices. I knew it but it feels good to know I'm not alone. Thank you thank you so much.
  23. We had a 3 birthday weekend here with lots of food. Very hard. I did eat some unhealthy foods. I'm afraid I'm heading down the wrong path again. Now that I've tasted a lot of my favorite food I'm craving them again. Any suggestions out there on how to kick back in line to a healthy restart? Feeling like poop today. Really disappointed in myself.
