Hi guys! I had a mini gastric bypass with Dr. Illan in Tijuana on May 16th, 2017. I have officially lost 100 lbs! If anyone here is on the fence about Mexico, I say go for it! It was the best choice I've ever made. If you guys have any questions feel free to ask.

TracyAnderson I often find myself feeling the same way. My surgery date was 10/24. I was able to consume more liquids than most RIGHT out the gate. I progressed to food sooner than my doctors allowed because at times I was that hungry. I have learned that if you get your fluids in then you are not as hungry. I have been overweight most of my life and I look at all of these pics and testimonies and I have doubt that it will be me one day. My SW was 305. My CW is 285 and tomorrow is my one month surgiversary. I haven't started excercise yet. So maybe that will help. I have to change my thinking and stick to the plan. Hang in there. Thanks for sharing

Welcome!
Stalls are a normal, natural, and necessary part of the process of the process of losing weight. If you intend to lose a significant amount of weight, you will experience stalls. Just about everyone experiences a stall about three weeks after surgery.
As you are doing, weighing infrequently is a great strategy if you allow the numbers on the scale dictate how you feel.
The best thing to do in my experience is to:
Follow your program.
Track your food.
Make sure you are getting at least 64 oz of Fluid every day.
Make sure you are reaching your protein target every day. (What is your protein target? Mine is 100 grams.)
Avoid added sugars (especially high fructose corn syrup), starches, and fried foods.
Take your Vitamins and supplements as directed.
Exercise when cleared.
Please keep in mind that not eating enough can be just as "bad" as eating too much when it comes to optimizing your weight loss.
Embrace the Stall

Well I'm definitely guilty of sneaking a cracker here or a bite of something because after the pre-op diet, surgery and post op diet I missed certain foods that I hadn't had in it seems like months. I have 3 kids and a wonderful husband and it's true we have to DECIDE to change. I found myself tasting meals that I prepared for my family and I didn't prepare properly. Like having my food prepared to snack on to fight those urges. We mess up at times but I appreciate a swift kick in the but! Get it together or you will waste this amazing opportunity. It's so easy to get caught into bad habits especially around the Holidays and getting busy, but you can't justify bad habits because they won't go anywhere. Thanks for all who shares. It helps me either way

Omg!! I thought I was just FAT! Here it is I have had surgery and am still hungry. Who does that. I feel so much better knowing I wasn't the only one. I had surgery on 10/24 and the biggest part is having a hungry teenager, an 11 year old and a three year old. I have nibbled on some of their food but decided to stop because it defeats the purpose of making this decision.

When I started my journey I was 352.
When I started my diet I was 338
DOS-308
2 3/4 months out-239.
Getting close to my goal of 212. Just a little nervous that I won't stop losing there.
