Well, I had my surgery on 10/01/2013 and as of today I am down 63 pounds! I guess I've experienced a couple of stalls along the way. I have had a couple of weeks where the scale refused to move, but during that time inches came off. I haven't really been very good at integrating real food into my daily eating plan. Even though I've gone through the stages, I find that I am getting most of my protein from shakes and bars. On the days I try to actually eat my protein, I find that I don't get enough

Hi everybody! I have completed my first week with no major problems. I'm still struggling to get in all my liquids, but I'm getting better. I wish I had spent more time getting used to the sip, sip , sip concept before surgery. But alas, we can't really turn the clock back, so I'll just continue to try doing better going forward. I know the pitfalls of not getting enough fluids, and I know I can't afford to get dehydrated, I'll let that be my motivation! I have really had no problems, to speak of.

Hi everybody! My surgery was on 10/01 and everything went off without a hitch! I had an uneventful trip to TJ and met a group of wonderful people at the airport, waiting for the shuttle. We all started conversing right away and grew closer and closer as time wore on. My sister went along with me and I'm very glad she did, she was definitely a joy to have along and she fit right in with the group. She even managed to get in some of her " mother hen" skills with the other "Sleevers".

I was having issues last time I posted. Well to avoid having to change flights, vacation from work, etc. I changed my date to Oct 1. I am just as excited and determined to get this done as before. I checked with my PCP and my T4 levels are in the normal range (1.4) so I should have no problems there. I will be on the pre- op liquid for ten days to shrink my liver and intend to follow it to the max, I can't afford to get to Mexico and be told I can't have the surgery done because I couldn't follow

I have been having issues acquiring my passport...they didn't accept my birth certificate in card form for the passport. When I applied for my paper copy they wouldn't accept the online application because the name on my drivers license was different! I went to the office in person, expecting to have problems, and it was a piece of cake! Have an appointment tomorrow for passport application and just pray that it comes back in time....spending extra to have it expedited by one of the online services
