Kyani
Not as a replacement for my supplements, but in addition to. I have read up on them and read the label and ingredients and everything seems to be above board. I was just hoping someone else had used it and could give me some insight as to their experience with the product

It is a supplement. Lots of superfoods in them.

Kyani
Has anyone tried Kyani post-op. I have looked at the ingredients and it appears to be all natural. Just wondering if anyone has used it.

June 2015 sleevers
I was sleeves June 15th and am at 192 from a high weight of 268. I finally got into a size 14 from a size 26 at the start. I have been super pleased with my decision to get the sleeve. I have had no complications and working hard to change my eating habits. I have about 50 or more pounds to go.

Before and after, yowwwza.
Great job! You look wonderful!

Mexico surgery
I traveled to Tijuana and used Dr Jesus Martin Lopez. I don't regret going for one second. It was a great experience and the doctor and staff were great. I was sleeves on June 15, 2015. I have had no complications. America is not the only country in the world that has quality health care and good doctors.

Weight loss on track but I eat a LOT
Everyone on here is either obese or has been there. We all remember our past eating habits. One corn dog and one banana is a restricted meal compared to how we used to eat. I don't know about anyone else but I could sit and easily eat three or four corn dogs. If you have no restriction then why wouldn't you eat like in the past. It sounds like you do have restrictions, maybe the restrictions just aren't what you expected. I read posts about people who can only eat a few spoonfuls at a time. That probably isn't the case with you. That being said, it seems you should concentrate on nutrition if you truly want to experience permanent weight loss and improved long term good health. Whether your surgeon and/or NUT tells you too or not, do what is best for yourself. Take this time to learn

Pre surgery weight loss...
I was also self-pay and didn't have to meet any loss requirements. I also went to Mexico and got great care and only paid $5,000.

how fast?
You have lost nearly what it has taken me 6 months to lose. I have lost 75 pounds. Everyone is different. I am happy with the weight I have lost and not overly concerned about it taking longer than expected. I still need to lose another 50 pounds. If you are concerned about your loss being too quick, raise the question with your doctor. Congratulations!

Fruit?
When I have fruit I have 1/3 cup of strawberries and 1/8 cup of blueberries. I don't eat bananas because it is a bad combination of sugar and fat. I am six months out and started having my small servings around 3 months. Also, on a different note, my NUT originally said to wait for 3 months on fruits with small seeds like strawberries and blackberries as the seeds can get stuck in your staple line

20% Long-Term WL?
I have lost 58% of my EWL. I am just under 6 months out and still losing. I think success rates depend upon each individual's willingness to change eating habits. You will be successful if you are of a mind to be.

Mexico anyone?
I am not really a shopper so I wasn't interested. I know several people though that went for long walks and went shopping. I think it's different for everyone

Mexico anyone?
I was sleeved on June 15, 2015 by Dr Jesus Martin lopez and booked my surgery through BAriatricPal. It was a wonderful experience. The doctor and the nurses were amazing and exceptionally skilled. The BP staff took very good care of me and my husband. I have had no complications at all and I have lost 73 pounds and went from a size 26 to a size 16. I am going back in February with a friend who is having the same procedure with Dr Lopez. I would have recommended to anyone that asks.
