Yippy! Celebrate with me because i have great news. I am officially below 200lbs! My surgery date was June 5th. My weight before starting the preop diet was 264lbs. Fast forward 4.5 months, today i am 198lbs! I feel amazing, this is the best thing I have ever done for "Me" in ny life and I would not go back for anything.

Anyone hear about a Mexico Bariatric Center patient passing away this weekend?
taurabird replied to Michele in NY's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
Remember guys no matter where u go there is an average 0.08% 30 day mortality rate. To put the number in context that is lower than the average deaths after having your gallbladder removed. This is a very safe procedure but there is still a chance or complication or death. -

I am pretty new, I was sleeved on June 5th. So far I have lost 22 lbs at the 6 week mark. I seem to be losing about 2 lbs a week now. I am thrilled with this rate of loss. -
I was sleeved on June 5th. I am down 22 pounds since my surgery day. I feel the same way as you, I think most do. I can tell when I have not gotten in enough protein and fluids. My body holds onto everything.

Probably lactose intolerant now and that may include the whey protien shakes. Talk to your NUT. -

I changed into my yoga shorts and night shirt within 4 hours of surgery. Said to the nurse "you dont mind do you since I am going to be up walking" as I walked oit my door for my second lap around the floor. ((Grin)) -

My Dumping Syndrome horror story (read if you dare)
taurabird replied to HatheryOnHerWay's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
OMG! I was laughing so hard I was crying. My husband kept saying what...what, tell me...I just handed the phone to him and said I cant. He read down a little ways and handed the phone back and said...no....lol. On a constructive note, it may also be you are becoming lactose intolerant now. just a thought with the cheese Soup. -
ROFLMAO, sounds like a perfect time with the hubby to me!

Day 14!!!! Doing pretty good. Gas pains are gone and belching after I eat is my sign to stop eating immediately. I am getting my fluids in pretty well but I am so over the protein shakes!!! But I know I have to get them in so I keep trying. Yesterday I had my first real vomiting episode, out of the blue I got nauseas and hurled. After that I was fine and nothing was different so not really sure what I did wrong that my belly didnt like. I hope everyone is doing well, good job!
