Any sleevers in Dallas? Nicholson Clinic?

txgirl82 so excited for you!!! You are going to love the results. I am wearing clothes I haven't worn in so long!!! I'm actually excited in the mornings to get dressed:)

woo woo what do you usually eat to get your protein?

@@TexasMom5 thanks I am excited myself can't wait to be in a smaller size.. when did you have surgery? kinda feel bad I'm on my preop diet n I cheated already n I was doing so good.

@@TexasMom5 who was your surgeon n how far out are you

I had my surgery Tuesday, October 14th. Do not worry about cheating on your preop diet! I did too???? I was having so many food funerals prior to my preop diet so they continued a few times during my preop diet...oops!!! Oh well. I was so discouraged because I felt like I was going to mess up after the surgery but thankfully it has been pretty easy. One night last week I had a melt down because I cooked my family spaghetti and wanted to eat some so bad???? Thankfully that has been my only meltdown. The rest of the days have gone very well even cooking for my family???? The results are worth it!!!

Dr. Nicholson was my surgeon and I had surgery on October 14th.

@@TexasMom5 I've been eating salmon n veggies plus the shakes n bars. The bars are kinda hard to get down.

How much have you lost since surgery

I've lost 12 pounds since surgery (gained 5 pounds post op)but I have really lost in inches. I am very pleased with my results so far????

Before Pre Op Diet: 206

Surgery weight: 201

Current weight: 189

Wow that's great ☺????

There are a bunch of meetings in Dallas/Ft Worth area. There is one at Baylor Plano (where I had my surgery), but also others all over the metro area.

There is a list of all the local meetings floating around and there is literally one or more almost every day of the month!

I am thinking of attending the one at Doctors Hospital this Saturday. If anyone is going, PM me.

The Baylor Plano one is supposed to be good and they have a clothing swap beforehand. It's the second Wednesday of each month at 6:30pm.

Thus far I haven't made it to any meeting but I want to.

I'll try to find the meeting list. If I can't find it you can ask at the office they have it there too. Wait I think I got it attached to this message.

Where did everyone have their procedures done?

woo woo thanks so much for the list!! I had my surgery at Northstar Healthcare Surgery Center. They were great!

Just stick to it from here on out!!! I had surgery this past Tuesday and I am amazed at how well I am feeling. Get gas x cause you may need it. That is where I had he worst pain. I have not been nauseous or thrown up at all. Of course I am sore and left side of my tummy is more sore but I expected and prepared to feel worse. My surgeon was Dr Nick. He is so nice and encouraging. Good luck!!!

What kind of protein are you liking the best post op? I am having trouble with the taste of anything except vitamin water zero...

I like Isopure. You can get it at GNC. 30 grams per scoop. Lots of flavors to choose from. Also like walmart stuff. They have a peanut butter one that is good
