Welcome Welcome Welcome :rolleyes:

always room for another newbie :)

sleeve in 3 weeks, exciting!!

many people have great experience with surgery in Mexico

did you receive info on pre-op??

what you should learn about drinking, eating - many other rules???

or does that info come to you after surgery??

can you get a NUT (nutritionist) close to where you live?

she/he would help you with a lot of things

hope you've read alot of good info about the sleeve

you can never read too much

knowledge is POWER!!

good luck bud

speedy recovery

@@Bellaitalian -- You fooled me. Oregon is nice, but I thought you were calling from Italia.

Congratulations on your surgery date.

Try calling the hospitals that are in reasonable distance from home. They usually welcome outside patients totheir support group meetings.

If you haven't already, check on whether there's a BP group in your area by going to the "Forums" tab, above, then to the first option on the drop-down. From there, follow the obvious bread-crumb trail.

Best wishes.

Thank you!

Yes I have been doing research for almost 2 years now. Lots and lots of info!

I am in search of a nutritionist near me and I need to work harder on a support group.

I have been in counseling for a few years, but know how important a support group is.

I ordered all my liquids, Proteins, supplements and 3 books that look helpful.

I have watched a ton of videos on being sleeved..... Videos specific to Mexico too....

My boyfriend will be with me and he works with a Mobil Vet Surgeon. He does anesthesia and laparoscopy surgery almost everyday so he knows some great questions to ask. I feel good that he will be there for me.

I am more excited but still nervous...

You might be able to work with an RD in the bariatrics dept. of a local hospital or get a referral from the dept. to an outside RD who is knowledgable about sleeve. surgerat sof pe.

Nervous is good.

Pardon the typos. The system isn't letting me correct without obliterating everything.

      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
