    Oh thank you so much for your kind words. I'm a work in progress but I am loving the progress I see.
  2. Well, I started following the gastric sleeve diet w/o having a sleeve done and I was 208 2 days ago now down 204lbs and 5'7". My daughter is the same height and went from 260 to 249 this am. It might just be water weight but its totally a lifestyle change. I have never ate so much ever!.. tomorrow I go back to work and work 12.5 hour shifts and as an ER RN its hard to even get a meal or drink/ better yet peeing is difficult to do. I don't qualify because I am under the BMI but not by far. My daughter however is, she can't have the surgery until she is 18 so we are going to do what we need to do until we get to that point. Who knows how far we will get. I would like to thank you all for being supportive and inspirational even though we are not sleeved yet. You all make this process so much easier seeing what you all have accomplished and the struggles that you get through.

    Thanks,
    Katrinka

    Hello Katrinka. I would like to invite you to a Facebook Support group that I am part of. The group is VERY active. The great thing about the Facebook group is the settings are set to secret so none of your friends/family you have on your Facebook page will know your a member of the group or see any post you make. If you would like to join the group you can send me a private message here or request me as a friend on Facebook This is the url for my Facebook https://www.facebook.com/stacy.king.96558

  4. I am 5'5" and weigh 191 lbs. my bmi is 31.45 so I do not qualify for insurance payment. As I am on my own financially I have decided to travel to Mexico in May.
    Have any of you heard anything about low bmi persons having more " stalls" or other weight loss problems? Is the pre op liquid diet shorter or longer for low bmi persons. I would love to have any info you can pass om,
    Thank you, Robin

Katrinka's Journey

by Katrinka on 03-17-2014 at 12:45 PM
5'7" 208lbs that was 2 days ago. This morning after following the diet at Stage 4 I have lost 4 lbs. I had a horrible addiction to full fledge Coke and love cakes, cookies, and fast food. This is just the beginning of my journey and I don't qualify for the sleeve so I have no choice to go this route. I do have a daughter that does qualify but she has to wait until she is 18 years old. So, since this works for the sleeved patient. It has to work for the non-sleeved. Who knows by the time
