1 week from today!! So excited! I started my Pre-Op diet with a cold and no appetite ( blessing in disguise) I feel lucky that it hasn't been as bad as I thought. I feel like I'm doing it wrong. shakes and salad and Protein is what they told me... Hmm. I think the straight liquids may be the real test!! Wish me luck!

So I'm 28 and my big day is the 15th with Dr. E Ortiz as my surgeon! Tomorrow I start my liquids, and I lost 11 lbs on my 2 week pre op? I'm so excited I'm all pack and ready to go!

I'm at the Hospital MI Doctors now. I've had all my preop and everything was great. I'm just waiting my turn. So far everything has been awesome. Praying God will watch over the surgeon team and help me get to be the healthy person I long to be! Talk to y'all soon!

All good thoughts and positive energy coming your way. It would be great to hear how you are doing and how was your experience with the revision surgery. Take care until then.

I'm having surgery on April 17 with Dr. Garcia in Tijuana. I met another girl online who's actually decided to go with him on the same day so we will be doing it "together" which is nice. Anyone else near the 17th in Tijuana?

I am booked with Dr Kelly on the 17th :). It's coming up fast!

Good luck to all of you ladies!!

I just returned home from my surgery with Dr.Garcia and Ready 4 a Change and I must say i was VERY WELL TAKEN CARE OF!!!! I will write a review and everything when I get a chance! One word of advice; even if u feel like u are %100 when u check back in to the hotel, TAKE YOUR PAIN MEDS!!! I thought I was ok without them because I was feeling great...until the pain meds from the hospital wore off. OMG!! I was crippled over, couldn't sleep, couldn't walk upright, etc. TAKE YOUR PAIN MEDS!!!!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
