Well She's a moron so.....moving on!

Thank you all for your kind words. I will say of this is the pain that I can expect after surgery I will be good to go! No pain medicine at all today. I have been able to move around the house and piddle in the kitchen. I don't think I will hardly be ready for work tomorrow, but maybe Tuesday or Wednesday. I will say I am eating a cheeseburger this afternoon and I don't feel the least bit guilty about it! After that back on my liquid so I will be ready when he can get me back on the schedule!

Absolutely not! I believe in divine intervention and I know it didn't happen for A reason. It will happen eventually.

I was scheduled for July 10th and my Dr was in and when he went to lift my liver he found two masses on it. He has sent off a biopsy and should get the results Tuesday or Wednesday, but I can't tell you how disappointing this all is. Same pain and procedure minus the sleeve. I'm certain the biopsy will turn out benign and we will schedule another date then.

Ugh! The soreness from the surgery is not bad. I'm depressed from the meds I think. Also the fact this happened for nothing this time around. I'm ready to get the results and get scheduled to make this happen!

We absolutely inspect every facility we use prior to sending our members there. Dr. Almanza and his staff made promises to make some major but very necessary changes and he didn't keep up to his end of the bargain. If we can't trust a surgeon to keep their word, we most definitely can't trust him with our members lives!

I would probably slap that shit out of their hand if I was mad enough.

I was told this in a support group that I attend for something else. "You are only as sick as your darkest secrets". Meaning, you can never really live in the present if you aren't able to deal with your past and be able to share the parts of it that make you uncomfortable.
A true relationship based on the foundation of trust, respect, honesty and love means being able to open up those painful memories and share them with the person you share your life with. If there is something that is keeping you from sharing that maybe you should question whether it is something within you or it is something within your partner. It takes some soul searching and the ability to truly be honest with yourself. Tough work!

Just got confirmation today for July 10th! It's gonna be a long wait! ????

Muscle pharm and they have all kinds of flavored! I am currently drinking a Cookies and cream and it is blissful. I order off of body building.com

Your lucky its 1 week most of us have to do it 2 weeks which when you are at day 1 seems like forever??

Sorry, I'm no troll.
I've had VSG surgery and lost 90 pounds. I'm 5 pounds under my weight goal.
Want to know how I did it?
I did what my surgeon recommended I do.
Da-dah!

Jeez! Eat the damn pudding.
Were you this picky when you were gaining weight?

Hi everyone. I just got approved last Friday. I hope I can schedule in early July. Ready to get this show on the road.

July 7th for me with Dr. Kia at McLaren Bariatric. I am getting very nervous and excited...also worried about my mental state afterwards - will i feel like i made a mistake, etc? I have lost 40 lbs on my own since starting the journey and sometimes feel i can do it without the surgery. However, I have to remember how many times I have lost weight only to regain it back and then some. This surgery is to prevent the roller-coster of weight loss....

Hey all who is getting sleeved before me mine is july 16 keep the rest of us updated if u can to let us know if all went well and what to expect after im so nervous with everyday that passes thank u and good luck

Surgery July 10th and start my two week all liquid diet this Friday. I will be partaking of wine on Thursday night. I feel your judgement... And that's ok!! ????

I'm a cross fitter myself and my box has the best folks part of it. I have had to take a break for a bit for the same reasons. I have tried the paleo diet and like you not able to lose the weight.
I'm anxious to have surgery and get healed up and head back to torture chamber. I dread those squats and using the commode! ????
Most people I have met that are part of the cross fit world are super encouraging and only want you to be happy and healthy.

Sounds like she is a busy body to start with. She needs more to do with her life than talk about yours. Bless her heart. Please do not let the judgement from her or others knock you off your game. I love this quote.." People gonna talk about you til the day you die. It doesn't matter what they call you it matters what you answer to." I would own that sh@$ like a boss! They wanted something to talk about.. I'd give it to them. Work your arse off and let them talk about your results! Good luck!

I drink a cup of coffee every day and drink alcohol probably twice a week. I'm 8 months post-op and I've 92 lbs.
I've lost 92 lbs and feel great

Thank you for posting this!! So glad that you are doing so well! Congrats!
