  1. I've been to Salt Lake. I have relatives in Ogden Beautiful area -hiking in the foothills will be great for you. I'm going solo and plan to leave TJ on Monday and staying one day in San Diego before flying home on Tuesday. It's nice that Melissa is coming along. I look forward to meeting the both of you. Yes let's get this over already haha

    Hi Nancy. It sounds like we've had a similar past in losing the weight, then gaining it back again, and again, and again. I've been considering this for the past year as I've watched a couple family members lose it with this tool and actually keep it off. I'm 52 and finally realize that the only way to a permanent solution is thru surgery. I have three grown kids who have mixed emotions about me taking this step as I don't have as much to lose as my sisters have. I'm just hoping as they see I'm doing well and finally losing the weight for good, they'll understand.

    I live in Salt Lake City, Utah and work in Utah and Wyoming. I like to hike as well! But haven't done as much of it as I use to as my weight has made it harder in my older age. I really look forward to walking in the foothills by our home in the fall with 40 lbs less to carry around with me. I dream about wearing a bikini top with shorts to my family reunion in August at Flaming Gorge. And I want to look amazing for my youngest sons wedding some day in the next two years.

    How long will you be in Tijuanna after the surgery? Are you traveling alone or will you be brining a support person? My spouse Melanie, will be coming with me. I'll be happy when the next month is over and we can move on to phase II.

    Dr A came as a recommendation to me by someone who used him. What was the reason(s) you chose him?

Can't stomach cold water

by Nancy23 on 04-22-2015 at 12:02 PM
I'm Day 5 post op and can't drink cold water. It's painful when it hits the stomach. I know how important water is to our very being in addition to the weightloss so I drink hot water. It is so soothing and I'm still getting in plain water. If you're having trouble you may want to try it.

Day before Surgery

by Nancy23 on 04-16-2015 at 10:52 PM
Having had a terrible travel day filled with three flights that ran late and had me running doesn't come close to ruining my day. When I jumped in the shuttle to head to the hospital -an hour drive due to rush hour our group of 5 were quickly talking and creating memories.

All tests went well - blood and EKG and surgery is at 10am tomorrow. We dined on chicken broth in the restaurant and three of us took a stroll to the grocery store after dinner.

Now it's been a long

I have a three day pre-op diet as prescribed by Dr Almanza but I wanted to start early and get all withdrawals over with. And so it began...i am in day 3 of 18 days and it hasn't been bad except for a few headaches and sluggishness at end of day one. Now I have more energy and I am not hungry Except at meal times.

Here is my breakdown, I am having a shakeology shake with water for breakfast, then cup of coffee with splenda, lunch is GNC Lean Shake, sf jello for snack and another
