Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

I'm here at the Marriott being lonely.



Recommended Posts

I finally arrived at the marriott after a long flight. I'm lonely and very hungry. I called and ordered some broth and Water but the lady only brought me water then left. Does it take them awhile to bring the broth? Cannot figure out why they would bring it separate.

Btw my surgery with Dr. Garcia is tomorrow. So scared right now.

Please don't be scared. Everything will be just fine. I have read so many good things about the surgeries in Mexico . Watch a little TV and then try to sleep. It will all be over and done with before you know it. Best of luck and make sure you tell us how it went.

Aw, don't be lonesome...we're all here!

I bet you're hungry. That post-op diet is a b$%#@!

I'm kind of looking forward to a few nights in a fancy hotel. What's the view like outside your window? Do you have a balcony? Do you have a nice bath tub? If I were you, I would have a good, long soak because it will be a while before you can have another.

A nice bath, or even an evening swim in that gorgeous looking pool and then a movie on your computer might help you relax, and before you know it, it will be time to sleep and then your big day will be here!

View is beautiful. Bathtub is nice. Beds are excellent. Got here late so now time to look at pool. Called again about broth and just received it so I'm getting ready to eat!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
