Hi from the Texas Hill Country north of San Antonio. Where in Texas are you from? Who is doing your surgery?

Dr. Kelly was in my top 3 choices. Heard good things about him, and good reviews from his patients. I chose Alvarez because of his experience, and over 600 good reviews on obesity help.com Also...
Winter is tough for me too. I have always been a grazer. Spring is around the corner. You will succeed ! I like your "4 miles a day". Your post has inspired me to step it up!
Never had a C-section, but I've had more pain from doing too many sit ups. Surgery was a breeze, just a little gas pain the first day or two. No big deal.
Sounds like you could be dehydrated. Tired and itchy skin…are your lips chapped? How much water are you taking in?
I had to do a one week liquid diet. It depends on the surgeon and your BMI. Higher BMI's usually have to do longer pre-op diets.
I can't imagine wearing shape wear after surgery. Heck no….I...
I like the Unjury chicken soup. I am undergoing band to sleeve revision, so technically have only had the band out so far. I did fine after my surgery with the Unjury chicken soup. I also found...
Well the good news is, I got my band out. The band news is, he was not about to do the sleeve.
The band had encapsulated itself all around and formed a lot of scar tissue. So now I am in siting it...
So excited ! Heading to Eagle Pass, Texas this morning and having revision tomorrow.
Dr. Alvarez says there is a 50/50 chance that we will be able to do the revision in one surgery. Depends on...
I called them, and they no longer give free samples. I guess they got bombarded with requests. They do have a sample kit you can purchase so that you can try all the flavors.
I haven't had my surgery yet, but a friend of mine who has and is a few years out, said that no one really talks about the "depression" that some people go thru after having weight loss surgery. ...
I did a video today ....I'm one week away from surgery. Check it out if you can:
Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy - Lap Band to Sleeve Revision - YouTube
My doc in one of his pre-op instructional videos mentioned this. He said it's totally normal and to expect it.
Dr. Alvarez is hosting his weekly obesity chat radio show tonight at 8:00 p.m. central. He is looking for questions for his show, and I think your question would be a great one for him. If you go...
I can answer some of your questions although I am not scheduled for surgery until next week.
So far my experience has been exceptional. The information I received after paying my deposit was...
I'm going through that now. I have surgery Oct 1, and start my pre-op liquid diet tomorrow. I swear I've been like an eating machine the last few days...but I really know better. The day will come...
Welcome Lori...fingers crossed !
I am having my surgery with Dr. Alvarez in Peidras Negras, Mexico, across from Eagle Pass, Texas.
I too have done my research. He wrote the book on Gastric Sleeve, wwwdotthegastricsleevedotcom...
I'm scheduled for surgery with Dr. Alvarez on Oct 1. Feeling really good about him and my decision .
My BMI is 38, and I don't have the serious co-morbidities that the insurance requires. That, plus I would have to jump thru hoops for them to consider approve, ilel counseling, etc. Not that these...
Oh, thanks for the correction. I think most people understand my meaning here...what you said..
congrats ! That is so awesome...and I bet you are on cloud nine!
Stay off the scale. You're working your azzz off exercising. Muscle weighs more than fat and you're building muscle AND do what truebody said above.
I was wondering about that. I love split pea soup. What brand of protein are you using?
I'm pretty crazy about keeping the neti pot clean. Clean it with bleach every time I use it, and also boil the water and cool before mixing with my saline pack.
I will check the Zyrtec out and...
