Time-for-me!

AKKKK!! Yeah Tiffy, I know what you mean about the baby food pureed meats!! My daughter will be 3 , (9 days after my surgery!) and I can still remember the texture and taste of her baby foods that I gave her.. of COURSE I had to taste what I was giving her!! LOL! I tasted everything! I love the idea of the tuna- I could eat that no problem for quite some time! Thanks for the tips Tiff!

Heehee, that's funny cuz I was wondering the same thing! I was actually going to go to the store and get a few jars of stuff for when I get back from my surgery! It makes sense to me to put baby food into our new baby stomach! =)

:001_unsure:Uh oh Mom, might have been a bit too soon for Salmon hey? Did you chew it up a million times before swallowing? Maybe you should wait another week or so before you try that again...

Thanks for that warm welcome everyone! I look forward to seeing how everyone is doing as we go through this together!! :fencing: Carolyn, are you getting your sleeve tomorrow??? Is the date at the bottom of your post right??:001_tt2: Wow! I hope everything goes GREAT for you! I wish you all the best and can't wait to hear about YOUR success story!:smilielol5:

Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow Canadians! I am Donna's daughter and we are going to Mexico on January 10th!!! We set a date for my Aunt and I to get our surgeries, and now it's really starting to hit home that this is REAL! SO, I had our usual turkey feast in our home this weekend and I kept thinking that this will be the 2nd last Turkey gorge-fest in our home! (Christmas will be the LAST!) As I was stuffing in the turkey, mashed potatoes and the pumpkin pie loaded with whip cream and feeling DISGUSTING about it, I kept thinking I can't WAIT until I can't do this to myself anymore! I can't WAIT until I won't have to beat myself up and dealing with the mental torment that we put ourselves through... WHY did I eat that? I can't BELIEVE that I ate all that!! And the vicious cycle that starts all over again! I am SO looking forward to my surgery and to feeling like I have some control again! I was looking at the before and after pictures on ObesityHelp.com and WOW! What amazing transformations those people have had! Really gives a person hope for the future! SO on this Canadian Thanksgiving, here is what I am thankful for... My BEAUTIFUL 2 1/2 yr old daughter, my AMAZING husband who loves me no matter what size I am, my Aunt for helping me and taking this weight loss journey with me, and to my Mom, Stoongal, for taking the first steps herself, and leading the way to help me find a healthier new me!! Sorry if that was a bit all over the place but these are the things I had on my mind today! Thanks for listening!

HI JudyJudyJudy... I will be going to the same place my Mom went to- Dr Almanza in Tiajuana Mexico at Emmaunel Medical... the ad is on the right side of this page right now. I think it'll be around $6000. We haven't set a date yet- I'm waiting on my Aunt to say when in January works best for her! My Mom had nothing but good things to say about her experience there, so that works for me! =) Thanks for the welcome VegasAngel! Yes, Stoongal told me to do my research and to check out this site for some great information from some REAL people! So thanks again, I look forward to sharing my story with you all as well!

Thanks for posting your experience there Mom!! It WAS really helpful having you call every night from Mexico to keep your over anxious daughter feeling better! Haha! I TOO am a person that requires a LOT of detail like you Nancy! So I appreciate hearing all the little details about what I can expect when I go for my surgery in January! With the photos posted by superppp, the MILLIONS of questions that I have, and continue to ask my Mom, (and lurking on the site here too!!) I feel like I know pretty much EVERYTHING that's going to happen! VERY VERY helpful info to an inquiring mind like mine!! Thanks! And I look forward to posting about my own personal journey in the future!!

HI everyone! I'm so glad I found a topic to see how satisfied everyone is with their sleeve surgeries! My Mom is Stoongal (above) she will be accompanying me to Mexico to have my sleeve done in January! Without her love and support I wouldn't be able to do this! I am excited and scared and hopeful and worried about my future after the surgery, but having my Mom go through it already, and for her to be able to come with me to give her love and support while I go through it myself is SO reassuring! As is reading what everyone has to say about their experiences!! I was hoping to hear if anyone ever regretted their decision to have the surgery, a year, two years even three years post surgery? How have their lives changed? Has it been hard? Have they had anyone react negatively to them having the surgery? I would love to hear what people have to say! Thanks!! =)

Hello!! My Aunt and I are planning on going down to Mexico in January to have ours done too!! My Mom, Stoongal just had her's done and she's SO excited for us to join her on this amazing journey!! I'm looking forward to FINALLY being able to focus on LIFE not FOOD!!!!
