Hello, girlfriend!!! My doctor's appointment went well... at my visit I was down 23 pounds.. that includes pre-op liquid diet... 11 pounds of that was lost after surgery.. so that's pretty good... I've lost another 4 or 5 this week... haven't walked too much yet.. but will begin this week!!! I go in for my first fill on June 30th.

I think you're doing awesome! And your exercise is impressive! I'm very jealous of you! Keep me posted!

Have a great summer! HUGS

Hey! Thanks for stopping by to check on me! I'm doing great.... I have my first post op visit tomorrow morning... I think I'm doing well... haven't really had issues... my biggest problem is water... I LOVE water and before surgery I would drink it alot and quickly.. so it's hard for me to train myself not to gulp bottles of water down my throat...

Haven't weighed myself in a week and a half... I know I'm losing though.... from the time I started my liquid diet - 2 weeks before surgery, until 4 days after surgery, I had lost close to 20 pounds... I hope I'm close to 30 pounds now... but we shall see!! As long as I'm losing, I'm not going to get hung up too much on numbers... have started walking more... hope to do it daily and vigorously once the doctor sees me tomorrow and says all is well!!! How are you doing? by the way - have begun eating mushies... still taking some protein shakes.... let me know about YOU!!!

I read your thread about the Mexico doctor... what state do you live in? I know a doctor in Texas who flies with his patients to mexico and does the surgery at a very nice facility.. and the hotel is all inclusive... and the total price including care/airflight/food/anesthesia/etc... is $8900.. Let me know

HEY HEY HEY! Miss ya!

hey girl! How's it going? You hanging in there? Keep in touch.... On my 3rd day of liquid diet.... Surgery will be on 5/11!!! Can't wait! Hugs - take care! Mo

thanks for reading all of that! I wish you the best on your journey.. and congrats on the 30 lb weight loss.. that's just amazing!!!! HUGS

Hi there! I saw your comments on my thread and wanted to stop by and say hello!

I am excited every time I come across someone who lives in North Texas (metroplex)!!! I live in NW Tarrant County... fort worth - right next to Saginaw and close to Lake Worth... near Meacham Airport...

Anyway, I noticed you mentioned a group that you are part of.. that meets in Hurst... I'm VERY interested in getting info. on this. I really feel like that will be crucial for me once I'm banded (on May 11th!). I'm super excited but in my head I hear those old voices which have ALWAYS told me, when I start something, that i will NOT succeed.. so i think a support group is just what I need... anyway...

Candace.. do you have facebook? If so, look me up and add me... monique peressim HUGS have a great weekend!

HEY GIRL! Let's be friends!

Hey Candace! We 'met' yesterday on the forum... hope you're doing well... hope to hear from you soon.. HUGS
