Having a hard day...
shedevil replied to 140icandoit's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It is so weird how different our des can be. I was on liquid for 4 days and then we were allowed Turkey, chicken, footage cheese, yogurt, refried beans. At one week we could have veggies and fruits..no skin. I asked my surgeon why the difference. He said there is no proof that going through all the stages makes any difference. He said that they wanted us to get on with our lives. I was nervous but have lost 24 lbs since 8/30. -

gaining weight on soft foods
brittanylau replied to lkingglassalice's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was like this from the beginning of my 3rd week until a couple days when I got into my 6th week! It's super frustrating but it's just a dreaded stall I realized everyone hits. But I can assure you it's Water weight, you have to eat ALOT more than you're able to right now to gain 2 lbs of fat. So no worries, just stick to your plan, get in your Protein and liquids and eventually it will fall off. Trust me, I know how frustrating it can be to see you're doing nothing wrong! But it's just your body adjusting to the major weightloss. Good luck!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -

Going To Mexico For My ...again! Lap Band To Gastric Sleeve Surgery
rahnava posted a topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
I am working this week to schedule my sleeve surgery with Dr. Garcia for January 30th. Back in 2006 I went to Mexico for a lapband with Dr. Joya. Mexico was great and I enjoyed the experience until my band eroded into my stomach. I've since had it removed and I am healed and cleared for the sleeve. Has anyone ever had this experience and are going to or had the sleeve? I'm totally excited to go back to Mexico. I've never been to a hospital where you ring the call bell and hear people run down the hall. -
I have begun my journey and started thru my "requirements"-attending la minimum of 2 support group mtngs, visits with nutritionist, psy eval next week, blood work in Jan. However, upon reading the requirements of Mass Health, it says they decide on it case by case. My question... my fear-is Ill fulfill my 6 mos requirements only to be denied. Ill be devestated. Should that occur-I will consider traveling to Mexico. Anyone else out there dealing with Mass Health able to offer any input? My bmi is 40 plus and I have been diagnosed with sleep apnea, high blood pressure and have osteoarthritus in my knees. Help! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using the BariatricPal App

Tomorrow...it's only a DAY away!
trizzy35 replied to HDubSleevery's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
WOW!! You are da man--I mean WOman!!! You must be one of those super organized people--will bode well for your sleeve future!!! You will be in good hands with Dr. A--he did mine 1 week and 1 day ago....Good luck to you and may God bless you with a speedy recovery! -
I think so long as you have enough time to do the pre-op diet (1-2 weeks depending on surgeon and your BMI) you're good. Once you finish your paperwork you're done- so long as a surgeon has space on the schedule I think they would take you. Mexican surgeons are great with lots of experience, do your research and you'll probably be more than happy with your choice and the care you receive!

Havent Lost Much Weight On Preop Diet- Gastric Sleeve Surgery Monday
bayareanan posted a topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
I am scheduled for surgery on Monday. I was told to lose 15lbs before my surgery. I am only down 6. I have been on the liquid and leafy green diet for over a week and have only lost 2 lbs (included in the 6). I am concerned they wont do the surgery. Has this happened to anyone. -
Yes. Very normal. I crave all the time but not like i used to. I have trained myself to eat very well but if i am really craving something i eat it. You can only take in a few bites anyways. Just dont give in all the time. 1x a week maybe. I was dying for an oatmeal cookie and i had one. Nothing happened. I didnt blow up. Lol. No wt gain. We are human. Do an extra workout if u cheat!

I have been reading all the postings for weeks and at that several times a day. This is my first time posting myself and I want to first start out by thanking everyone of you for educating me before my decision to go ahead with "the new me!" I'm now on day 5 of liquids, and haven't cheated, not even once! This is the first for me. On every "diet" or change in my eating, I would atleast try one little something I wasn't suppose to. This journey in my life is so much different than anything else I've ever done. I'm so excited about my surgery date on the 9th, I can't even sleep. The thought of "the new me" has consumed all my thoughts. I find myself on this website atleast four times in the middle of the night. One thing I am a little concerned about is I've just come down with chest congestion. I've lost my voice, feel crapy (SP) and soar throat. I started a five day antibiotic.....what do you think??? Too close to my surgery date being sick? I'm praying that the antibiotic will kick this and I'll feel good as new in a few days. Thanks to everyone again! Kelly

Surgery With Garcia In October?
lilly's journey replied to sacharliem's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
Hello Sacharliem, I'm still working out my family's work & school schedule but my goal is to have my sleeve w/ Dr. Garcia the same week as you. I'm so looking foward this. -
Are you throwing up, in pain or running a fever? If so , call your Doctor ASAP if not, your probably fine. But if your really concerned you should call your Doctor. Your body is healing, and needs to rest. Walking the first week is probably all the exercise you need, Wait six weeks for anything strenuous.

I could have sworn Dr. Aceves told me I could begin lightly working out when I got back home. So, yesterday morning, I went to the gym and did the elliptical trainer for 20 minutes on the lowest level (I am 7 days post op). Today, I feel like crap - super tired, no energy, etc. I happen to peruse the post op info I was given, and it says to wait until at least 4 weeks post op before exercising!!! I know I was a bit loopy down in Mexico when I spoke with Dr. Aceves about this, so I must have heard him wrong - have I totally screwed myself up? I'm worried that I've put myself at high risk for a leak. Any help appreciated.

December 4Th Anyone?
healthbound1 replied to healthbound1's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
Hi debwin! Sorry it took so long to reply, I was away for work. How is your pre-op diet going? I am from BC (Canada). I might postpone my date though. I just got a promotion at work and I need to fly to our head office for training 3 weeks after surgery. I don't think this is realistic. If my body responds well to the surgery and to drinking all my fluids, it could work but that's if everything goes perfect. I don't know that 3 weeks is enough time to rest and recover though. I'll have to make a decision by tonight so I can change arrangements asap. How is your pre-op going??? Are you getting excited, nervous, both? -
That sounds kind of discouraging....I'm having surgery at that hospital with Rodriguez in 7 weeks....hope you start feeling better real soon and keep us all posted!!

Back from mexico

Doing Well two weeks post op. tired of the full fluid part of this and ready for some scrambled eggs and cottage cheese... -
Found out today I have to wait 15 days from today to borrow from my 401k (that's how I'm paying for surgery) and that will not be until June 3rd or so and that's when I was hoping to go to Mexico. I cannot remember how long it takes to get the money in the mail from my 401k so I have decided to wait and try to go to Mexico June 10th. I also plan on using that money for my down payment so I hope I can get a surgery date that next week lol. I'm also working on my passport and hopefully that extra week wait will be long enough to get my passport.

Dang it. Walked every day this week and +4 lbs.
chickadee73 posted a topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
I can't wait to get sleeved! I am trying so hard to get stronger for the surgery, hoping a nice little bonus would be a few lbs knocked off the scale, but no such luck. Poop. -
I got a food scale a few weeks ago and I love it. You will like being able to positively know exactly how much you are eating.

High BMI and Pre-op Diet
SerendipityHappens replied to AmandaRaeLeo's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
I work at a convenience store 50 hours a week which is definitely not a sedentary job but I've begun to sneak some extra walking around. Today I logged over 7 thousand steps from briskly walking up and down the aisles in between helping customers. I also do 10 body squats at the top of each hour while at work which adds up too. and I'm walking a half mile to and from work. Beyond that I'm not doing any vigorous exercise. Today I went 200 calories OVER my 800 limit I got stuck at work for three extra hours and wound up eating some nuts...yikes.. but that's only the second time in the whole month I've been over so for me that's pretty good... and thank GOD, I've managed to stay out of the junk food. -
