I did between weeks 3 and 4 I stalled and even put on a pound or two. Don't worry it will start going down again. Are you getting enough Protein and Water? I am @ 6 weeks and it's going down again so don't let it get you down.lol

Chapstick,slippers, and I had my kindle luckily. Good luck.

Adult gummies. They sell them at costco. Good luck!

It is tough, I was sleeved 8/7/12 and it is a new lifestyle that's for sure. It's a better one though, It takes some adjusting but I have dropped 20pnds and it helps me know that all this hard work will pay off. I think there is some food grieving going on but that's normal. I would do it again in a heartbeat!!!! Good luck It will be o.k.

I know they say that if you can run a spoon through it and see a line then it's to thick. I just had applesauce and had to add Water to thin it out and it was fine, even the creamy Soups I have to thin out alot then strain. My doctor said I could have cream of wheat if thin enough, but I haven't gotten there yet. I'm trying to take it slow.

skymall.com offers protien in various forms from ketchup, to crystal lite like drinks to sugar free candy. I saw it on the plane last week you might try some of those options.Expensive though it might be worth it for you.

Wow, tis site has helped me with the support I have need throughout this process, My surgery is next tuesday in Mexico ( self-pay) it's a very hard road but I think it will be so worth it. My sister just had hers done through insurance and she has lost a whopping 64 pounds. I love this site my husband is not very supportive with my choice and the people here have made me feel reassurance that I'm making the right choice for me. Good luck and stay positive.

I am having my surgery in Mexico and am wondering what others have done post op for labs back here? Any suggestions?

You too! I am fortunate to have my sister going with me.

I don't even know what that is.

A little bit but all the great things I keep hearing about Dr. Garcia on this site are really helping me. I'm excited to start a new life mostly.

Garcia charges 5,000$, I've heard oly good things about him and everybody who went there for surgery. Yes it's at a hospital. If you go to ready for a change.com you can get more info and talk to a coordinator.Good Luck!

I'm so glad you gave me that reassurance as I get closer I get more nervous, and to hear I'll be in good hands is really what I needed to hear. Thank You!!!

Well if I fly down there and for any reason I wasn't scheduled, they damn well would be making room for me!lol I'm sure you're fine but talk to you're coordinator just to be sure maybe she can send you something to verify you're date.

Ya Elma with ready for a change e-mailed me and on the consent form there's a place that you put you're date and you can print it.

It will be good to hear about you're experience so close to my date though, if you're feeling up to it then. Time is flying by I scheduled mine 1 1/2 months ago the closer it gets the faster it goes for me. Good luck!

My date is 8/7/12 with DR.Garcia, so excited, it's comming fast hope to see you there!!!!!

My surgery is 8/7/12 with Dr. Garcia. So excited! Good for you I hope to hear all about it when you're done!!!!

DR.Garcia recommended that I have the RNY to prevent the reversal of my nissan. He said that as I loose weight my gerd symptoms will most likely go away. My surgery is 8/7/12 and I am going with the sleeve, I am completely against RNY as my sister had it done and had a few complications, plus dumping syndrome NO THANK YOU! He is only charging me an extra 500 to reverse it. I think the risk of not having the sleeve is worse then gerd symptoms that can be treated with some meds. Good luck.

Congratulations!!! I can't wait until mine in August.

Thank you all for you're replies I feel like I can come here and get the support I need. It's great I was feeling kinda alone with my decision. So thank you all!!!!

I picked my Doctor in Mexico, after lots of research I'm going with Dr. GARCIA in Tijuana. My surgery isn't until August but I feel more hopeful about my life and what's yet to come then I have in a very long time. I'm excited to start living. I used to be so active and can't wait to be able to move with ease again. I'm sure I'll get nervous as the day draws nearer. My husband does not agree with my decision to have this surgery which makes it hard because he is not excited at all and it's all I want to talk about. He says it's the easy way out (comming from a skinny man) I love him but he has never had to work a day in his life to be thin so I just chalk it up to ignorance on his part. So now I wait 3 long months.
