We got to keep in touch.

I am set for Nov 2.

WW didn’t work for me. It was too expensive for what I got.

Try ricotta cheese. You can make all kinds of stuff. Creamer the cottage cheese. Less gasie too.

I am going for the sleeve on November 2. It would be great to discuss issues with people on the same stages. I got high blood pressure, sleep apnea, high LDL, swollen ankles, back aches, plantis facitous (definitely spelling issues ), my BMI is 38. Which isn’t too awful. But I am so tired of medication.

Yes! I heard that too. If the liver is too large there will be complications. It is hard to do because the liver is in the way. If the liver bleeds I think that is really bad. But people blame the doctor instead of thier neglect to follow directions.

You just want a argument. I am a personal friend of the person that is the start.

I am commenting to people that comment back to me. I am not making up her mind. How can I do that!?? I said I was going to the same doctor and then the swarm came and was directed to me like your message. Please take you nastiness some where else. Perhaps you need to be a lawyer.

Especially when insurance won’t cover a USA $20k operation.

Thats just great. The high prize of good health is worth it. 👌👍🏼

This is great. You gut doesnt have to be abused and neither do you.

I wasn't aware that there was any official relationship between BariatricPal and Dr. Almanza, but I am glad of this change. I know there are many patients of Dr. Almanza on these forums who have had good experiences and been very successful with their surgeries, but the percentages of complications and negative stories have been concerning.

i understand if a company doesnt want to work w him but i had no problems and i understood everything he told us in English.... and im a nurse ????

There are some very decent weight loss surgeons in Mexico. I highly suggest finding another surgeon and facility. No need to take a gamble with your life. It's not worth the $ you might be saving.

My surgery is scheduled for Nov. 23, 2017. I was just wonder if anyone has used this doctor and/or facility, if so, what was your experience like?

My four weeks leading in to October 12th is like this. This is the dietitian's guideline.


So today (Monday 25th Sept) is Day 12 of my program.
My saviours have been:
** "any low starch green vegetables". This is code for a stir fry of zucchini, wilted baby spinach, green capsicum (bell pepper), celery, bok choy, choy sum, etc. ... I rapidly heat these then add a dash of lemon/lime juice and a squirt of white vinegar.
** diet or diabetic jellies (jellos)
These two allowable extras are helpful for me.
I've also had a few peppermint and spearmint teas (although I am very much NOT a tea drinker). I've even done bonox and vegemite in boiling Water as a drink.
I still have the Soups up my sleeve. I might go there this week ... just to be different.

HAVE I CHEATED?
Yes.
1. At the pub for trivia, I had diet ginger beer soft-drink (soda) both Sundays.
2. I had a slice of bread one evening.
3. I have been having a third serve of fruit most (but not all) days.
4. Twice, I added some sliced mushrooms to my stir fries.

We got to keep in touch.

I am going to go ahead and get a month's worth and then decided. I have enough pills to eat. lol

I really love my Bari family here. Last night really sucked for me. I ended up riding my elliptical and watching tv til it watched me. Everything u guys said was dead spot on but I’ll tell u something. When I’m in the throws of that misery and it’s got a hold on me like a newborn in a blanket, to shift my thoughts as y’all suggested is close to impossible. Luckily It typically hits me hardest at night and I can simply go to bed and eventually to sleep. Interestingly enough, I dream of eating my favorite food.
As a therapist myself, I know that to get thru it is to go thru it. There’s no testimony without test. I also know how this is actually my second chance at bat (I had gastric bypass in 2008). It’s these facts about my journey that tell my body (motor functions) and deep in my heart that cheating is not an option. My food addicted Mind (my brains pleasure center), on the other hand is what screams in agony. It’s sometimes physically draining for me. Luckily my education has taught me to understand this and that to let it out as I did in that post helps release a small bit of the stress. The rest, for me, is to vicariously live the lives or to become enthralled in the happening of television characters. Luckily it’s worst at night and this practice just seems to work out.
I hope this post helps someone who’s thinking about cheating on this journey. The battle between the “to do or not to do” is real. Everyday, every minute we beat that urge is a strike of accomplishment. ANYBODY that says we took the easy way out can kiss your ass for me too BC at the end of the day, only we as individuals know and live with our demons and what it takes to beat them. One day at a time.

I think we all need to renew our minds. Dont let negative or tempting thoughts rule us. We need to change or die. You can actually die frim the health problems that obesity causes. Please stop and let that sink in as you listen to your heart beat and your breath continue to flow. Just imagine what you will be able to do with better health. Overweight people like me are trapped on a cycle that cannot be broken. God is giving us help with this. Lets not go back to the old life. Its time to renew. Find hobbies. Get busy. Be the person that helps and not the person that needs help. Be grateful you have a second chance. Quit thinking about what you cant have and seek what yiu can. Be grateful be postive. Smile. Wake up and get busy. From my heart. ❤️

This reminds me of a drug addiction. I love cooking and eating. lol That is how I got into this mess. We need to keep in touch and support each other!

we are very close. Let me know how it goes.
