Sweet tea. Not sure if you have looked at flights yet but on my check up visit in November it was about $100 cheaper to fly out of Lafayette. Not sure if it was a sale or not.

I ordered some PB2, one with chocolate and one without, and it came in today. I LOVE it!!

I put the chocolate one in plain Greek yogurt and it was wonderful, and I put the plain one in my chocolate Protein shake. I'd recommend it!!

I have looked at the flights however I have not booked one yet. I was truly waiting to see if my husband was going to be able to get off from work to be able to accompany me. I may have to just check to see the price of the flights out of Lafayette. I can hardly believe the time is coming so close! You have lost tons of weight! Good for you. How have you been feeling. How is your restriction this far out? What info do I need to know going into this? Any tips

Sweet Tea,

Thanks for asking. I'm feeling good. Except for the week of Christmas where I grazed too much on homemade goodies & carbs, I've lost around 2-3 pounds per week. I do not know anything about TJ since I went to Mexicali but San Diego was very nice. My wife & I went together for my check up & a long weekend. I went alone for my surgery and if Garcia is like Aceves you will be well taken care of. I can eat more now but still not much. I don't measure or track every detail but definitely know what full & too much feels like. I have trouble with dry meats but everything else is good. I travel a lot in the state so I usually find seafood, or something light when eating out. Love shrimp or oysters and gumbo is always good; chickfila has grilled nuggets, etc. I adapt. You will too. Take care & best of luck for a smooth journey.

      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?

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
