You will be fine by then. I was released to all foods at 6 weeks out. So you will enjoy the food also. We are cruising around the hawaian islands in sep for our 45 anniversary. Am really looking forward to it. -
Sleeve 2.5months before wedding?
mokee replied to stacy03's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Where do you live? How long a flight to Ireland ? What is your weight ? How old are you? All of these components add into the mix. Are you having a big wedding that you will be very busy preparing for? If so, some don't feel too well the first month. A lot to think about for your big day. -
She said for no reason because she has not been approved yet.

3days postop...when does the nausea go away?
mokee replied to Kimd's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Never had nausea. Are they giving you something for it? I hope you feel better soon. -
I was diagnosed as diabetic 15 yrs ago. 2 yrs before surgery I was on 150 units of insulin daily plus 2000 mg metforin. I also was told not to take anything if numbers under 150. When that did not last I added back metforin. Then insulin. I take same metforin and 30 units before bed. At least not taking 4 shots a day and testing 4 times a day. Endo seems to think it will improve as I loose more weight. I would like to friend you so we can learn from. Each other during this journey. Best of luck.

Only down 1 lb. 4 days post-op. Am I going to be a slow loser?
mokee replied to CocoCocoon's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Cococoocon, First of all you are what we call a light weight and will not drop weight as fast as heavier people. 40 lbs in the first month is very ambicious. Try to concentrate more on how you feel and how your clothes fit. Best of luck. -

Curiosity on your appearance
mokee replied to joannao74's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
Don't be afraid. I am. 66 years old and weighed 275. My diabetes was out of control. I was on 150 units of insulin. Now 5 1/2 months later, I am down 66 lbs and only take 30 units of insulin. Have also been able to drop 4 medications. This is a life or death opportunity. And I chose life. I am very lucky. If you have any questions just PM me and I will be glad to answer them. -
I will be glad to be your buddy. I am older also, 66 . I have lost 66 lbs in 5 months and no complications so far. I also can not exercise due to pain. Any questions at all just ask. Be more than happy to lead you thru the beginning.

Isopure liquid in a bottle is a lot better than those powdered shakes, they are horrible. You can get the no carb isopure at the vitamin shoppe. 20 oz bottles is 2 servings. I prefer the punch flavor.

Same as rickyswife. I wasted my money on a crusher also. I even swallowed metforin and just cut it in half and it is a large pill.

I have been over 200 plus plus for over 40 years. I am finally to 209 and am sabatosing myself with the wrong foods and can't seem to get those 9 lbs off. Why am I doing this? Why can't I let myself succeed? Antone else feel this way? -

Has anyone started to eat more since they've got there surgery date?
mokee replied to erics300's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had food funeral after food funeral the last month before my pre op diet. All my favorite restaurants all my beloved food. I did and I was glad. But when I started my 2 week liquid diet I did not cheat once. It is getting harder to not go back to old ways the further out ÿou get. At almost 6 months I can eat almost everything and the restriction is not as good. Do whatever you feel is right for you. It's your journey!!!
