I just had surgery I booked through BariatricPal Team MX with Dr Illan. Awesome Dr and the service was better than state side. It cost $4400 for the surgery compared to my local Dr at $14,254. Started pre-op 3 weeks ago, surgery last week and total loss in 3 weeks of 30lbs

Same here, I drink just fine and am 8 days post. Heavy soups with protein powder are a little different. I have to do those slow

I was having a rough day yesterday with Valentines. I wanted chocolate. I settled for chocolate fairlife milk. It was amazing and high in protein

What is your daily consumption? Calories, carbs, etc

Just wish it went off as easy and fast as it goes on

My pee has progressively gotten stronger, but I am not in pain and am in ketosis. It's almost as strong as asparagus pee

I treated myself to 4 oz Fairlife chocolate milk. Good protein source and satisfied the nagging chocolate desire.

Following

1st day full liquids. Protein goal 70g and 64 Oz liquids. I don't want to eat/drink anymore since I filled my meal quota.

I didn't finish the shake by 2 oz. For lunch I pulled out the yogurt mixture I made. It took about 1.5 hours to get 8oz. But the stomach was ok with it! Tonight will be cream of chicken soup.

I haven't gone in about 9 days. I don't feel bad and I was on clear liquids only. So I don't think there is much in the pipes

I'm about half way through my shake and so far, so good

I am going to try my protein shake instead of the yogurt this morning. Praying things don't go sour

I was just sleeved on the 7th. Starting full liquids today

I am afraid to try new foods after tonight. Tomorrow I am on full liquids. I tried to make drinkable yogurt with Greek yogurt and Fairlife milk. I had about a tsp. of it and my tummy twisted and turned in an unhappy manner.

With my clear liquid diet, I am only getting about 100 cal / day and no real protein. I have jello legs. Tomorrow I start full liquids which includes protein shakes. I want to start tonight, but I am not hungry

At that time, 6 days post-op. I have a 9 week recovery program/diet. Are you sure you should be eating everything?

I just started the BariatricPal multi vitamin patches.

Note the cup on the plate...that's my dinner. Smelled good but didn't really miss the ribs and potatoes

I just came home from surgery with Dr Illan. Awesome experience. The travel home was the worst part...and even that wasn't bad

I am allowed to take the capsule whole. Sent from my SM-G920V using BariatricPal mobile app

I am sitting in San Diego waiting on my flight back. I had an awesome time and my Dr was great. I don't regret it at all. Sent from my SM-G920V using BariatricPal mobile app

By going to MX, paying for my friend to come with and buying medical tourism insurance, total cost was $6700 Sent from my SM-G920V using BariatricPal mobile app
