    You were right, they were so awsome at depaul!!! I have no complaints about anything there, the process or how I was taken care of. They were all great. I am down 18 lbs at 2 weeks 2 days out, and its slowing down a little bit. I'm on phase 2 now so up to about 900 calories a day instead of around 600 with just the protein drinks. How is your journey?

    I am from So. Illinois and going to SSM DuPaul to have my sleeve Jan 7, 2014, How are you doing? How did it go?
  6. the pre-surgery liquid diet was hard for me too. post-op when you don't have a choice, isn't as hard, just make sure you keep as much variety as possible around, or you are going to burn out on what you are eating (drinking) ... i Know that i did, i don't want to have chicken broth or chicken noodle soup or jello again for a VERY long time. Be prepared for things to taste weird in post-op as well... that was a big surprise to me when i got home, that the things i liked in pre-op tasted horrible in post-op. Anyway, i rambled -- you're in my thoughts - i can't wait to hear about your journey.
  7. Yes My surgery is scheduled for Dec 2. I am going to Dr Morales at the SSM weight loss center at DePaul. He is really nice. I can't wait to get it done..at this point I am 1 week into the liquid diet and ugh...not liking it! hahaha Good luck to you also
  8. someone local, that's fantastic! maybe we can go through this together. do you have your surgery scheduled yet? or are you still going through all the pre-requisites for it? Have you decided on a surgeon? I really like mine. Dr. Van Wagenr with Bariatric Weight Loss Lap Band Gastric Bypass Surgery St. Louis Missouri (MO) - good luck to you with your journey.

Almost Baby Time

by albroa on 07-10-2015 at 07:51 AM
Well it is almost time. By this time next week I will have another baby . So exciting. This is number 3 and was truely a miracle baby. I have done pretty good with the pregnancy. Gained 35 lbs so far. Hopefully that falls off quickly after having him, lol. The dr has been watching him closely because most women who have been sleeved have tiny babies. Not this one!!! hahaha He was already 7 lbs a month ago. We are thinking he will be around 9lbs when he comes out. He sure feels like

Pregnancy update

by albroa on 04-21-2015 at 07:21 PM
Well I am 16 months out from surgery and am now 27 weeks pregnant. Things are going really good. The weight gain scares me because I worked so hard to loose the 88lbs I lost before getting pregnant. I have gained 18lbs already . Dr is ok with it but it still bugs me. Yes I know I will loose it after having the baby but still, seeing that scale go up is...well annoying lol. Anyways, we found out we are having a boy. My son is totally happy and my daughter who is 10 said she is moving out

So I am 13mo post surgery. I have stalled at a weight loss of 88 pounds. I lost 85 in the first 6mo and have just pretty much held there.
