@Sara Bronson I was referred by a friend who had it done. Went with Dr. Haucuz at Certified Bariatric Surgeons. http://www.certifiedbariatricsurgeons.com/

Friendly friendly people who took care of me really well.

Oh nice! That's exactly how I found my dr.. a few people that work with my fiance have used him, so it was nice having that personal connection.

Oh my Lord go troll somewhere else. If you don't like this post than go away. This is childish to sit here and respond over and over throwing stones. It's your personality that's being reflected here not his. Find another post to hijack.. you made your point here, no one cares!!


Wow I seriously wasn't trolling! Just explaining what my guesses were based on. Look at my post history and you will find I am quite helpful and share lots of information and support.

Again shows you can't read tone of voice.

And if you'd rather jump to conclusions without knowing anything about me, even about what I post on this message board, then BLOCK ME. Instructions are above.

Each thread on here is for the whole group and all the hundreds of lurkers and the hundreds who will come later, to learn from. No one owns a thread.

Jess for me has been one of the nicest and positive posters on this Site since I've been around. I don't like to see my friends abused. Everyone just chill out.

I'm not sure who is reading what, but there is no abuse... and half my posts come tongue in cheek. Lighten up.

Jess is friendly and I have zero issue with her even though she made a ton of assumptions earlier in this thread that were completely absurd and out of line.

I am the same way.. can eat anything.

But, it's a great thing because we get to learn how to exist from the very beginning.

I am pretty much the same. Nothing really bothers my sleeve, but I do have restriction and I purposely don't eat more than 4-5oz at a meal depending on what I am eating. This way I am satisfied, but not over full.

@Apple1 Yea, I'm glad I'm not alone with that. However on these forums it feels that way, which is why I originally posted.

My guess is that there are many people that are the same, they just don't post. I log everything I eat in a food journal and I weigh all of my portions. It helps keep me accountable and accurate. I think we all need to do what is going to help us be successful. I have followed the advice of veterans that were successful and I know that has made a difference for me.

Yeah, the only things I haven't tolerated the taste of are Protein Shakes and cake and ice cream, and noodles. So.. no big loss. No dumping or vomiting, just taste preference. I think lots of people would starve without the shakes, but it just forced me to eat real food asap.

My 11 year old son caught a trout today. Ate that sucker up! (Ok, half a small one, but still...) Liked it better than preop. Do you know rainbow trout are related to salmon, and those in the wild have pink flesh?

@Berry78 Yea, shakes are my staple still. Easiest way for me to get 50g of Protein.

Trouts awesome. I caught lots when I lived on the west coast. Now where I'm at we have lots of white fish like walleye, pike and perch.

I think she was referring to the person who called me a troll. And I don't think she meant the cute ones.

Have you tried the Parmesan crisps? you can buy them at costco or make them and they are zero carbs! I eat Keto so the fat doesn't prevent me from eating them.. and they are crunchy, like a replacement for chips.. also you can have pork rinds.. high Protein and no carbs.. hang in there! You're doing great!!

I second the parm crisps. I'm doing keto ( or trying too very new to the program) but it's a great protein packed no carb snack that gives you crunch and salt like a chip but much better. I think just 6- 10 crisp are like 10 grams of protein.

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        Good Luck this procedure is well worth it I am down to 249.6 lb please continue with the process..

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

    • LeighaTR

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
