Congratulations glad you are doing well so far

I had my surgery done in Mexico and told my PCP I was having it done there. She strongly urged me not to have it done, but I did. When I returned I had the finest care she could provide--quarterly labs, referral to a nutritionist, quick answers to my questions. Find a PCP who understands you are trying to get healthy and convey that you're not having surgery in some strip mall by a person who didn't go to medical school, because all the US physicians I've talked to think that Mexico is some medical backwater instead of a sophisticated country with excellent universities.

Glad all went well ! You did it! Good luck on your journey . JAN 16 for me. Pre op today

And Face to Face Monday is usually followed by Think I Can Do This Tuesday, Wonder Wednesday, That can't be a Stall Thursday, Fantastic Friday and Wonderful Weekend. Sip, Rinse, Repeat.

Yes, it's normal If liquid is the only thing you're consuming, it's the only thing that'll come out of you. If you're flavoring your drinks with sugar free flavors, keep an eye on that too. They can have a laxative effect.

I ALWAYS make my 75 or more of protein. Today looks like about 830 cals, 82 protein, 42 net carbs, 8 fiber, 27 fat. I am losing about .65 pounds per day according to my app. I have not yet stalled, although I'm sure I will.

I have just started the process and had my first consult with Dr Sharpe last week! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Local hospital that did all of my presurgery testing is awesome however insurance denied and after three denials I’m considering Mexico. Problem is my local hospital said they won’t touch me for yearly follow ups for a sleeve done in Mexico. Folks who have done it... how did you work this issue?
