Increasing water intake helps reduce this problem for some people. I try to drink 80 oz or more a day. Don't always get there, but my skin isn't a crepey as some people and I've lost a little over 150. My doctor still advises me to increase fluids tho.

I am raising my grandchildren who were 3 and 6 at time of surgery. I told them from the day I decided to do this. Immediately my grandson and I started measuring my waist. (How big/little the gap was before he could completely get his arms around me!) I love it! We love it! Of course they said things like when will I be skinny or your butt is big. They don't understand ideal or goal weights. They do understand that there is no way to say someone is fat. So we don't say it. I had surgey 10/16 and still 70 lbs from goal. And now they tell me I am sooo skinny. Lol

Dr. Cabrera, Mexico Bariatric Center 1-855-768-7247. He is amazing. I spent 2 nights in hospital and 2 nights at hotel. Dr also visited patients in hotel. Staff was great. Whole experience was great. Good luck and do your research. They have specials all the time and even have buddy discount. How cool is that?

I ad 2 drops lemon flavored essential oils by Young Living to 16 oz or 3 dropps to 20 oz. What a difference in taste!!!!

Wow!

I had surgery in Mexico with Dr. Cabrera Oct 3, 2016. I am a very succesful small business owner. My health insurance would not cover the surgery so after MUCH research, I chose Mexico Bariatric. My surgeon, hospital staff and overall experience was awesome. I would recommend Dr. Cabrera and Mexico Bariatric to anyone considering the surgery. Mexico Bariatric is an American based company. And I failed to mention I am a registered nurse with 20+ years experience and my business is in medical field.

I use measuring cup for everything but meat. I use a pocket scale to weigh meats. Bought mine at "head shop." They looked at me with doubt when I told them I just needed one to weigh my food. Lol.

I hained 15 lbs immediately post op. Was only air, fluids and inflammation from surgery. Lost that plus at about 2 weeks out. STAY OFF SCALES FOR ABOUT A MONTH

When's the next challenge starting?!

Yesterday weight:225 Challenge goal weight: 224. Missed by 1. Thank you for this challenge.

I didnt have to lose 50 in 2 mths but did by following the preop diet on MEXICO BARIATRIC website. Good luck.

CW: 227.1 GW: 224.0 I'm losing inches too, so I am satisfied.

Taste AMAZING, even better when chilled after reconstitution. I stock up everytime I buy.

You look great! Can I ask your stats? Inspiring. God bless you.
