25 days for me! I'm counting down. Dr Garcia June 8th Tijuana I'm a low bmi of 32 ish 5'7 210ish!!! Can. Not. Wait.

I'm 5'7 205-ish lbs BMI is like 31 or so give or take 8lbs water weight etc fluctuation. I'm getting sleeved June 8th!!! I'm thrilled! Just because we are not in the "morbid" obese category we are still considered obese! And I personally know I'm very miserable! The sleeve is a tool I feel it's better to get it now then wait until we gain 100 more pounds! The sleeve is a tool I feel that I need. I can't keep weight off I need help! This is the tool and the lifestyle change I need. I have chose not to tell anyone because I don't want to hear negative comments. My mom is having it done on the same day with me in Mexico and she is the only one I've told. 26 days and counting to a new life! A new way of eating! I need help and the sleeve is the help and tool I need to change my way of eating forever!

I agree! My goal also is to fix my messed up relationship with food!! To change the way I eat forever! Good job on your loss that's awesome! I can't wait to be where you are!!

I know it's hard but we have to stick to the plan!!! It's easy to justify cheating or bending the rules but we just can't!!! It's part of our addiction to food to make excuses and look for pitty about how we have it so rough! But this is life! We have to eat blan boring protein shakes and broths because we failed to take care of ourselves in the past!! Don't cheat yourself the sleeve is a tool use it!! Don't look for ways around it! Yes it's hard yes it's miserable but we can do it!!!! It's hard to take a step back and see that your cheating yourself and yes sometimes our inner fat person wins! Don't cheat yourselves people! We have to work for it and in the end it will be worth it!

I think sometimes we should focus on the type of calories we put in our bodies. Something may be low calories yes but starches bread carbs sugar processed meat etc..... No good!

Me and my mom are doing it together the 8th!!! How cool!!!! good luck to you guys! Me and my mom are doing it together the 8th!!! How cool!!!! good luck to you guys!

Anyone else for the first week of June? Anyone else been and have review or a run down of what to expect!? Thx

The packets of almond butter are a great idea to! Thx

Mag citrate and dulcolax together will cleanse you right out!!!

I hope I can loose 2.5 lbs a day post op!!! Wow

Dr Garcia June 8th at cer hospital here!

June 8th with Dr Garcia!!! I'm so excited it's getting close! Under a month now! Message me after the 8th I'll tell you all about it!!!

Self pay you'll qualify. Insurance prolly not they look for a reason not to cover it and make you wait 6 months or more hoping you decide its to much trouble! Self pay is the way to go!

Try and sleep through it! Sleep walk sip sleep walk sip! I've heard some people even took Benadryl with pain meds to sleep off the first couple of painful days! Hope you feel better! Sleep walk sip!

Smoothies are ok if it's just fresh fruit juice. Not concentrated juice or premade juice but actually fresh pressed or squeezed juice!!! But when they add frozen yogur, sugars ,ice cream etc... It's not a smoothie it's a full on MILK SHAKE with fruit in it!!! Not good!!

Stick to the liquids!!! I know it's miserable but that's part of it! Don't eat real food until your pouch has healed! Listen to your NUT. Follow instructions exactly! Don't deviate!

Go to Mexico!!!

No not the entire trail just 14 day sections usually is what I prefer! Protein powder in oatmeal is a good idea. I didn't think about the protein powders, thx

How long did everyone stay in the hospital after surgery?

Thx!!! Yeah do clif bars and quests bars usually! 20 miles at 5 months is awesome!! Id love to do half dome one day!!!

Yea I may end up needing to wait longer! Maybe 6 months or more! It's hard to know how my body will be able to handle the hiking stress!? I'll dry day hikes and see how I do! Good luck on your ten miles!! Let me know how it goes @@efierke

At least a week long hike 7 days! I love long section hikes. I'm in California now so I'm going to hit the PCT! I've done many sections of the AT I absolutely love it!!! I think hydration is key. I worry about feeling sick to though if we can't get calories in cause you burn so many through the day! I was thinking the mashed potatoes packets maybe a good source of easier to eat carbs and oatmeal maybe I dunno though!? Good luck to you also glitter! Let me know how your hike goes!

I hear the shoulder pain is bad. They say try heating pad for the shoulder and massager for the tummy! Hope it goes away soon for you!!

Say you had a laproscoptic surgery leave it at that, if he wants details say you had your gallbladder out which hey It's not a lie, if you want to lie say you had a exploratory lap for endometriosis or to have your appendix out.

They say 64 oz a day so that's not to much!
