Too much clear fluids?
AChristian replied to disappearingme's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I feel the same. I think I can get down pretty much gatorade, water, apple juice and broth in a day for being only 5 days post op. But I've lost 8 pounds in that little time so I'm trying not to worry. I too , was starting to think it was the because my 36 bouqie sleeve was too big . However, I've learned it has nothing to do with it. -
Time spend thinking about food (8 days post op)
AChristian replied to buchannon's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Sorry typo... I meant I knew how much I thought about dieting and exercise prior to surgery. It was my whole life and I hated that. -

AChristian replied to buchannon's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I completely agree. It's strange. I'm on my 5th day post op. However, Im the opposite, i knew exactly how much I thought about food and dieting prior to excerise. In fact, that kind of scared me' about doing this whole thing. I mean I worried if I would be lost after surgery and wouldn't know what to do with my time and my mind. -
I'm lying in Florence Health Hospital in Tiujana awaiting sleeve surgery with Dr. Kelly! Whoohoo!

Passports, when filed, are sent to an agency (1 of 28). They are sent according to what post office you mailed it out from. My suggestions would be to ask people in your area who got their pastports back fast, which post office in which county did they submit their appliactions from

Surgery Scheduled Jan. 20th (Next Week) No Passport Yet
AChristian posted a topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
Need to know if anybody has any information or advice on this topic... O.K., so my surgery is next week on the 20th with Dr. Ramos Kelly. I am so excited! However, even though I expidited and overnighted my passports they have not arrived yet and neither has my mother's. We still have 7 days for them to arrive. However, my coordinator Sandy Johnston, assures me I can still get back and forth with a birth certificate and driver's license. She says she had done it many times. -

AChristian replied to AChristian's topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
I'm so glad you had a great experience with Dr. Kelly. That makes me feel good. Please let's keep in touch since we are bascially starting this journey at the same time. No, my passport didn't arrive. My coordinator has assured me her driver will ge met over with passport, birth certificate, and proof that I applied already. She says it happens all the time. I'm gonna try it because I've already spent too much in plane tickets, hotel reservations, etc. I'm going come hell or high Water. LOL Wish me luck. -

I like my BodyBugg they use on the Biggest Loser. I love the tracking system connected with that. -

AChristian replied to AChristian's topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
Yes, I knew you needed it for sure to fly internationally. That's not what I'm doing but thanks for the response. I'm not worrying anymore because my mother just got her passport today which means mine should come 2moro! Whoo hoo!!! I'm so excited. -

Hi Tiffany. I have a BMI of 30.8. I'm on the low side too and was wondering some of the same things you were. My surgery is scheduled for 1/21/2011 with Dr. Kelly and I'm so excited. I know my bmi is on the low side for the past couple years but its been much higher before. I know I need a permanent solution for life. I can no longer go up and down , up and down!!! If I don't get this done

Yay for you!

AChristian replied to MustangAli's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
