    Wow!!! You have done great! You look fantastic! I was starting to think that I would never see onederland again before the sleeve. I'm having a little stall for the last few weeks but I'm so happy and I feel so much better. Thanks...

    Hi Connie! Thanks for checking in with me. I am down 64 pounds as of this morning and it's awesome. I've got a ton more energy to do things and my wife loves the way I look. I'm eating everything I want, just not very much of it. I'm glad to hear you're doing so well. I know this was the right thing to do and I'm glad we both did it. Best of luck to you to get to your goal. - Matt

    Hi Connie, congrats on your first month post op!! What did you need a heating pad for? do you put it on your tummy for pain? Thanks, Beth in Tacoma.

    Hi Connie,
    It's my first day back home. Not feeling very energetic at all. I go back to work in two days. Went to the grocery today and got a bunch of different kinds of soups and some protein powder (unflavored) to add to them...and greek yogurt...and fruit juice. Fortunately, I haven't thrown up...so I guess I'm tolerating all different kinds of foods. However, the thought of chicken broth grosses me out. (had too much of it pre op I guess!) Warm food agrees with my tummy a lot better than cold.... Have already lost 13 pounds! Do you think I'm feeling weak because I'm not getting enough nutrition....or just still recovering from surgery? (its been 6 days...) Thanks...and how are YOU doing?

    Hi Connie - I'm doing great. I'm eating regular food (and have been since about 1 week), just not very much. I've lost 36 pounds including pre-op diet. It slowed down a bit of thanksgiving but I increased my water intake and started taking vitamins so I'm back on track. It's been a great thing but I admit that I have times when I miss eating big meals and gulping drinks. However, the fact that I've had to buy new clothes already is amazing - I'm down 4 inches around the waist and I've dropped a shirt size - XXL > XL. How are you doing?

    I guess I got lucky...there were empty beds when I was there....probably because it was over Thanksgiving.

    Hi! I'm sitting in the airport as I write this, awaiting my flight to San Diego. So excited!!!! Yes, I did bring a heating pad. Glad to hear you are feeling well. I was sorta getting freaked out reading this forum and everybody's problems....especially the gal who was 9 weeks out and felt so miserable she wished she had never gotten it..... I don't know if you noticed this or not, but it seems like most of the complaints came from folks who had it done in the states! Very few from Mexico! So I am even more convinced I am doing the right thing by going to Mexico! I mean....my doctor, Dr. Alejandro Lopez (through A Lighter Me) specializes in the sleeve and that is pretty much all he does! He's done over 2000 procedures. Sounds good to me!

    So are you having cream of turkey soup today??!!! Happy Thanksgiving!

    Thanks Connie....I'm drinking lots of both low calorie Gatoraid and Propel..They are good. I used to drink Propel a long time ago when I gave up Diet Coke. How are you doing since you got home? I've had a few little setbacks but I feel really normal. I have a little infection but the doctor here said the antibiotics we are already taking should clear it up. I hope you are doing well!
