I am hopefully having my sleeve done 1/7/15 with dr. verboonen in Tijuana...just waiting to hear about financing I've applied for. (Fingers crossed!!) Anyone else going to be there during this time? Anyone recently had their surgery there that can offer up any tips?? ;) thanks in advance!

I'm sleeved!!! Surgery went well & I'm recovering well too. Just can't stay awake lol. The surgery center is small, & not really what my husband and I are used to or expecting, bit it is very clean & the staff is taking good care of me & that's what matters. :)

1 week post op & I'm down 23 lbs since beginning the pre-op diet & down 8 lbs since surgery!!

CW 240

that's my first "stats" post lol. I'm doing pretty well. I'm not getting my full 64 oz of Fluid in but I get so close. I don't think I'm getting all of my Protein in either but during this 1st week my Dr wanted me to focus more on fluids so starting tomorrow I'm going to really focus on trying to get as much of both as I can. Today was an odd day for "eating" for me. Things would sound good until I tried them then I didn't want them. I'm still on shakes & Soups mostly but have tried some pureed things & so far there's no physical problems with them, I just really don't want to eat I think. I'm in very little pain, more like soreness & discomfort lol. Its all very tolerable though. I just took some adult liquid Tylenol & mainly took it so that I will sleep good tonight. I'm also having a cup of sleepy time herbal tea so hopefully I'll relax good tonight.

Did you fly to and from San Diego? If so, how soon after did you fly home?

Yes, we flew into San Diego the day before my surgery (1/6/15) & flew home the Saturday after my surgery (1/10/15). We had one connecting flight both ways which ended up helping...that gave me a reason to get up & walk about half way home. :) I felt fine coming home, obviously a little sore & tired but totally manageable.

      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
