Dr. Garcia is/was having a special for 4500. for a virgin sleeve. I think you have to go through a coordinator tho... My Dr, Dr. Ponce charges 5500. but he is the Chief of gastroenterology in TJ Mexico.

Here's to wishing us October sleevers well as we start to journey onto/into a new us!! I think I had my last of my favorites today at a cookout reception I attended. I had my uncles famous ribs and his special sauce and it was great! I only had 2 small pieces, so I didn't do bad. I now am, starting tomorrow, gonna prepare myself for Friday, the day of my new beginning. I have to do my pre op one day diet on Thursday, so I have some mental time tho I know I can do it.

I just want to say to u ALL, Im sure that ur nerves may kick in and some may feel u may fail, but just know that life and death is in the power of the tongue and once u speak it, u have planted a seed and that is the harvest that will grow. So of course everyones journey isn't gonna be the same. Yes I may even have some down moments, but just don't speak it. And if it does happen, just know ur not alone and HE will not put more on u than u can bear. That's why we have docs and nurses. HE also allows and helps us to make wise chooses. So, know that u WILL have victory after this and the goals uve set and things on ur bucket list, if u have one, will be met. I wish u all well and blessings to you on your new beginning. My day, this Friday Oct. 5, will be here b4 I know it!!!! Yeah me!

I'm really feeling it today... I went to Walmart and I purchased my medications:

Children tylenol, GasX strips, pepcids, hall's cough drops with Vitamin Cc listerine strips, chapstick, and filled my prescription for B12 nasal drops and most important "the codine."

I also purchased my Ninja blender, food scale, lil graduates plates, fork, and spoon set, broth, s/f puddings to add to Protein powder, propel zero, and Isopure RTD for the next 11 days....

I hope I did not forget anything!!! If I did someone please chime in...

Sounds like something I will need once this journey is complete. I'm plan on skipping the Tummy Tuck and just going for the full body lift and I praying I don't need a arm lift but I probably will. Oh and I will definitely need a breast lift/reduction.

Drink lots of water... If you can, try blending your Protein Shakes with ice....it worked wonders for me. They were thicker and seemed to fill me up, and I couldn't drink them too fast because they were so cold.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
