@Cloebird Can you message me that chart please? This app is the most user UNFRIENDLY app I have ever installed. I HATE IT, but love this group. I got tired of scrolling through pages trying to find the chart. Is it me or does this App really suck? 5' 5" HW: 259 CW: 235 GOAL: Healthy and hard 140-ish?

Feel free to reach out if you want. I had my surgery 10/28/2017 with Dr Illan 5' 5" HW: 259 CW: 235 GOAL: Healthy and hard 140-ish?

OMG! Go to Mexico for $4600.00! Treatment is BETTER than the US! Everyone speaks English, the brand new hospital is SPOTLESS and only for Bariatric patients. There is 24 hour security and you have a personal Valet 24 hrs a day. Hospital stay 2 days and 1 day in a nice hotel where Dr and nutritionist come to see you. Here you are same day surgery. I live in Dallas and was self pay too. You fly in to San Diego, get picked up tbere and drive about 15 minutes to Tijuana. ONLY use BariatricPal Team MX!!! 5' 5" HW: 259 CW: 235 GOAL: Healthy and hard 140-ish?

Im so sorry that you lost your brother. I had a FANTASTIC experience in Mexico at BariatricPal. My surgeon was Dr Illan. I hope you choose to get the surgery for yourself. I think it is very unlikely you will get it ANYWHERE for free. Frankly I would be terrified of any surgeon who agreed to that. 5' 5" HW: 259 CW: 235 GOAL: Healthy and hard 140-ish?

Here is a video, I LOVE Dr. Illan. I love the staff and the hospital and hotel. AMAZING EXPERIENCE! 5' 5" HW: 259 CW: 235 GOAL: Healthy and hard 140-ish?

Hope that helps. Im stalled too, no worries. Its all good 5' 5" HW: 259 CW: 235 GOAL: Healthy and hard 140-ish?

WOW! Im so shocked. I live in Dallas but didnt have surgery here. I had my sleeve, stayed in the hospital for 2 days then spent 2 days in a hotel where the doctor came to see me there each day. I cant imagine going home so fast. Im so glad everything went well for you. [emoji4][emoji106] 5' 5" HW: 259 CW: 235 GOAL: Healthy and hard 140-ish?

99% of surgeons will tell you with a sleeve carbonated beverages are a BIG NO!! A HELL NO even. 5' 5" HW: 259 CW: 235 GOAL: Healthy and hard 140-ish?

I had a vodka and iced tea. However, I didn't notice a difference from before. 5' 5" HW: 259 CW: 235 GOAL: Healthy and hard 140-ish?

THANK YOU!!!! This is dead on and 100% true! It isnt about staples "magically melting away", its (quite literally) about organ donation! This topic seems to be commonly breezed over. Alcoholism is the most commonly traded addiction for bariatric patients. Instead of food... its alcohol. Your post bears repeating! 5' 5" HW: 259 CW: 235 GOAL: Healthy and hard 140-ish?

I did. Best experience EVER! I researched every bariatric surgeon in Mexico. By far.... the best surgeon with lowest complication and morbidity rate is Dr. Illan with BariatricPal Team MX. They ALL speak English, the specialized hospital is BRAND NEW and ONLY FOR BARIATRIC PATIENTS. There is 24 hour security and you have your own personal valet to take you anywhere at anytime. 5' 5" HW: 259 CW: 235 GOAL: Healthy and hard 140-ish?

The ones I bought "shined", almost looked see through [emoji15] Ask a friend to check you out while wearing them. Or wear a looong t-shirt over them. I was SO EMBARRASSED! Id like to save you from that [emoji4] 5' 5" HW: 259 CW: 235 GOAL: Healthy and hard 140-ish?

Im in Dallas. Are there any groups around us? 5' 5" HW: 259 CW: 235 GOAL: Healthy and hard 140-ish?

I bought one and have been using it for a month. I like it but I have not had my blood work done yet.... so I cant tell you how well the vitamins are working 5' 5" HW: 259 CW: 235 GOAL: Healthy and hard 140-ish?

You poor thing! [emoji45] Please feel free to vent away! You are doing remarkably well considering your other stressers! We are more than happy to give you all the support you need. Hang in there, you got this!!!! 5' 5" HW: 259 CW: 235 GOAL: Healthy and hard 140-ish?

WOW! You look great Happy Surgiversary! 5' 5" HW: 259 CW: 235 GOAL: Healthy and hard 140-ish?

Try Real Good Pizza Company pizzas. 25 g Protein and 4 g Carb. Very good!!!! 5' 5" HW: 259 CW: 235 GOAL: Healthy and hard 140-ish?

I just got this in my email. I did try the breakfast pizza and its AWESOME? Too much for one sitting though. 5' 5" HW: 259 CW: 235 GOAL: Healthy and hard 140-ish?

That sounds like excellent advice! 5' 5" HW: 259 CW: 235 GOAL: Healthy and hard 140-ish?

So I added up your calories being as conservative as possible and you are above your maintenance level. If you aren't working out to remove the overage.... you will gain. Maybe you should go back to documenting everything for a week or two to see where you are really at. If you need to.... adjust accordingly. At your current rate (without exercise) you will put on 1 pound every week and a half. Im guessing you are exercising. So as long as you burn 2100 calories (ish) a week you are in great shape. Congrats!!!! 5' 5" HW: 259 CW: 235 GOAL: Healthy and hard 140-ish?

I quit 2 weeks prior to surgery. This past week Ive been craving cigarettes again. But I haven't smoked 5' 5" HW: 259 CW: 235 GOAL: Healthy and hard 140-ish?
