    Re: About ready to give up.

    I cannot even imagine dealing with all of that, and I know I would've lost my mind for sure. I agree with the others...go to Mexico! How much $ is your sanity, self esteem and happiness worth? A...

    Re: Getting prepared

    Ooops.... sorry, didn't mean to mislead if I did. The samples aren't free, they're just a good way to try a whole bunch of different things without buying a big container and wasting it if you don't...

    Re: Getting prepared

    Aw, don't be freaked out... just stay super excited! I did this in the scariest way possible (had to go to Mexico, by myself, and pay for it all myself because I wasn't eligible through insurance)...

    Re: Can some please help (Diarhea)

    I became intolerant to artificial sweeteners after my surgery and that was causing me big problems. I know they tell you sugar-free, fat-free everything, but I made it through just fine after cutting...

    Re: Advice needed, one month post surgery

    Unfortunately, it gets easier and easier as time passes to eat more quantity and variety, and after about a year-and-a-half, (in my experience) the sleeve will let you resume your old bad habits if...
  6. Re: Question About Post-Surgery Consumption/Tracking Calories, Protein, etc.

    I have heard SO many people talk about MyFitnessPal, and I've tried it a couple of times, but always found less success there than when I use Livestrong's MyPlate. I guess it's just about what you...

    Re: The people around me...

    I totally understand this! Before my surgery, it was all I could think about to the point of obsession because I was SO excited. My only outlet, though, was on this forum, because I went stealth and...

    Re: Getting prepared

    I second the "it was a breeze" sentiment. You are perfectly content with the liquid stage when you're there, because that's all you need or can even handle. Then when you're ready, you're excited for...

    Re: Bad habits and grazing...

    The big change you can make to fix that would be to avoid the "slider foods" which make it possible to graze and stop losing, or even start gaining weight back after the sleeve. The sleeve will FORCE...

    Re: How bad is the first week after surgery

    I only had the weekend off of work and was back to work on Monday. No problems with weakness at all, just walking a tiny bit more slowly than normal from the incisions, but other than that I...

    Re: Getting Sleeved On the 28th Of January

    I can honestly say it was pretty much a breeze for me... the worst parts were a) I'm a stomach sleeper and didn't think I could ever sleep on my back even if I had to (I was wrong) and b) the "gas...

    Re: Surgery in MX

    I have never heard of those doctors, but I had a phenomenal experience with Dr. Jose Rodriguez at StarMedica in Juarez through BeLiteWeight. I would happily recommend them to anyone. The whole...

    Re: How long off work?

    I say it is totally doable, especially if you really want it that badly. I wanted it so badly, I went to Mexico for it and paid for it all myself because insurance didn't consider me overweight...

    Re: Gaining weight after exercise

    I noticed the same thing ALWAYS happens to me, much to my dismay! It makes you want to stop working out, when really you just need to stop weighing for a while and go by how clothes fit or by...

    Re: I'm not whining, but I need some help....

    I'm the same way with protein powders... every single one I've tried my whole life makes me gag and there's no way I can force myself to drink them. EXCEPT Unjury, which is why I'm surprised at your...
  16. Re: worrying about post op and how i will be emotionally

    I am almost 8 months post-op and in a very long-term relationship (almost 9 years) with a guy who is not overweight (by more than a few pounds, anyway.) Based on my surgery experience, I can't even...

    Re: What kind of protein powder do you use?

    Unjury is the only protein powder I can use and I love it.

    I'm not sure why, but every other kind I have ever tried makes me want to gag. Even the Syntrax Nectar, which was so often recommended...

    Re: Feeling obsessed

    I totally get it! I became SOOO obsessed the moment I knew I wanted to have the procedure, but unlike most people I did it completely impulsively so it was very short-term. If I had had to wait...

    Re: Nausea the first few weeks after surgery?

    I haven't had any nausea at all. It sounds so strange, but even the times I either ate WAY too fast or didn't chew meat sufficiently and thought I might throw up, I didn't feel nauseated... I just...
  20. Re: working on scheduling surgery, but, question on flight post-surgery

    I had my sleeve done in the morning on May 29th of last year and left the hospital before noon on the 31st. I was by myself and took a (very bumpy) taxi ride from Juarez, Mexico to the airport in El...

    No, no! Don't start pulling your hair out! The sleeve will take care of that, too...thanks sleeve. :rolleyes: Just kidding...well, not really, it's actually the truth for a lot of us, but it is still...

    Re: Intense fear of vomiting....your feedback?

    Me too! I think I'm borderline psychotic with my phobia, and it's fear of me or anybody else vomiting or even acting like they're going to. How do you do it with kids? Kids throw up all the time!

    Re: gonna vomit....

    Pre-op I LOVED the Isopure drinks, but post-op I can't stomach them. My go-to supplemental protein fix is a scoop of Unjury Chocolate Splendor mixed into 6 oz of Fage Total 0% plain yogurt. (Or...
  24. Re: Soooo depressing....9 days post-op and haven't lost a single pound

    The more I think about it, the more I think the headaches could be because I'm used to eating real food (too much of it, yes) and just about everything post-op except for water is artificial or...
  25. Soooo depressing....9 days post-op and haven't lost a single pound

    I really find it unbelievable after everything- especially 7 days of a clear liquid diet with lots of diarrhea- that I haven't lost so much as a pound yet. I haven't bothered weighing before today...
