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 changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
