I started back in august looking for a dr and oct met dr paragi I am scheduled for sleeve January 27th :) excited but scared. The office seems to be very I organized but as thy told me they have new staff cause he separated from previous practice. Long terms the dr has great plans for his building to have all testing done there unfortunately we are the first ones to office setting and they are working kinks out with is. It does seem that dr paragi is nice and well known within medical field. Getting ready for pre surgery diet : sugar free pops and Jello, broth, clear Protein and Water maybe w crystal light. I have been cutting down portion sizes and meals already so I hope it doesn't effect my Migraines too much. Biggest worry is watching my one ur old after procedure she is at that needed stage :)

I'm still experimenting with Protein supplements and shakes myself but I have tried EAS and Premier Protein and I like both a lot. You can buy either at Walmart, costco or BJ's. I'm planning on just drinking those, Water, broth and crystal light during my pre op diet. I have no idea how I'm going to survive on just shakes and Water but we can do it! Haha

Sleeved at Valley 12/23 by Beth Schrope. Hospital is great, all private rooms. She's fantastic! Worst pain I've had was getting through the 2 week preop diet LOL I'm so ready to dump the purées and get on to some real "chewing"!

Best wishes to all on your journey ☺️

After trying lots I found the Premixed Pure Protein the best for me. I add some sugar free Tirani Syrup to switch up the flavors. Got the holiday collection from Amazon which includes peppermint ginger snap hazelnut and caramel. Not only great in Protein drinks but awesome in coffee ????

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.

      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!!
