Ugh! Stuck at 215 for almost 2weeks. Im not getting all my protein in as I should. Can’t complain though as I was sleeved on the 25th of June. Please tell me the scale will move soon!!!!

Sleeved 6 days ago in Mexico. Sw: 234 Cw: 221 GW: 165. Just started protein drink, and having a really hard time with fluids. Feels like a balloon blowing up in my chest every drink I take. GasX doesn’t do the trick. However, Warm fluids do a little better for me, and using a straw now and it seems to be getting a little better each day. Take 3mg of requip for my RLS and can’t crush pill, so I take a teaspoon of yogurt at bedtime right before I take my pill- get a little bit of a tummy ache but nothing like when I tried taking it without the yogurt.

I am sooooooo thirsty. I’m having a hard time understanding my new “signs”. When I drink it hurts right between my ribs. I’m only taking sips. I need to burp and I can’t. Then I feel a little nauseated. Please tell me this goes away.

It’s getting a little better each day! I will try the straw! Thanks!

Thank you!

That’s exactly how I feel. I’m not sure if it’s gas yet or what. But you described it perfectly. Anyone have any suggestions?

Today is the big day! We made it to Mexico, I’m gowned up and waiting for my IV drip! So far it has been a pleasant ( much different than the US way of doing things) experience. SW 238 GW:170.

Thank you O&D Still waiting........not to mention I’m starving lol

Well tomorrow is the big day! Arriving in San Diego tonight, and into Mexico tomorrow am. So nervous but excited for my new journey. “Nothing Tastes as good as skinny feels!!” SW: 238 GW: 165.

I head to Mexico on Sunday for surgery on Monday!

You got this ❤️❤️

Blacklioness- I’m having surgery in Tijuana on the 25th and let me tell ya, My nerves are right there with ya!!!

Thanks!

I’m not sure what astounds you? It’s NOT a quick fix. Many people fail. It’s not just surgery but that of a lifestyle change. So, I expect weight loss while I alter my lifestyle and habits. I empathize with Brass as I may have the same concerns. Is it not ok that I’m afraid I may fail?

Gundy- no what I mean is we’re preparing for a long -journey (marathon) not a sprint - quick finish) It’s going to take awhile is I guess what I was trying to say.

I have not had mine yet, but honestly that is my fear. I’m afraid that I’m not going to lose fast enough or that I can’t do it and get so discouraged. But reading the comments is incredible. I love the support I see on here. Brassapple, it may be easier for me to say right now because I’m only in pre op stage, but we’re running a marathon and not a sprint. You got this.

June 25th in Mexico! I have had 4 friends go to Dr. Verboonen and have had excellent outcome! My turn!!! W238 BMI 36!

You look great!!!

Hi! Well I’m scheduled (and a little scared) for my Sleeve on the 25th in Mexico. So many things going on in my head. Start my pre op diet tomorrow!! Does anyone use the patch vitamins? I’m scared I won’t be able to tolerate the gummies.
