I am hearing good things about dr verbonnen ... Has anyone used him in Mexico for the sleeve?

Kristie Bentley - Lafayette la that is how you find me. I look thin in my pic holding two children ill explain later lol

I would love to stay in touch with you and see pictures as you lose!!

I am doing great and can can say that verbonnen des a good job at the surgery. I have not been in contact with them since. I also did not go to cancun. Dr. V made me feel very comfortable.

I will be four weeks on Wednesday. I am doing great spit up twice only because I ate too fast. I am down 31 pounds so far and feeling GREAT!!

When can I try salad?

You are right it doesn't matter the speed. It doesn't matter how you start it's how you finish!!

Thanks I will wait to start at 6 weeks that is only 4 more weeks I can manage!!

Thanks I will look up that vitamin can I get it at Walmart?

You hit it right on the nail how I feel. I am trying to get proteins first but I barely get 500 calories so I will shoot for that in a couple of months. Have you eaten sugar yet? I don't even want it anymore. I am down 25 pounds and already feel better but ready to start lifting weights. When did you start? I'm only walking right now.

Texasmiss ... Helped so much!! Today is day 9 and I think it is going great I'm just worried about causing a leak:-(. I tried oatmeal yesterday couldn't eat even half but it seemed to go ok. I will lookup peach tree and print it out. That is also the one I found but I am amazed how many doctors think differently!! I am 24 pounds down and feel great not eating sugar!!! I need to take a picture now so I can have before and after! You said you follow the 3 diet ... Well I can take in 4 oz at a time of semi thick liquid and I'm not hungry again til 4 hours later I hope I'm not doing it wrong?

Texasmiss - when did you start putting food in blender? I'm day 7 today and I can handle protein shakes soups like black bean liquified but a little thickness to it. I don't want to over do it!! I'm ready to quick eat purred food and eggs etc. should I wait one more week? I'm worried about leaking of course!! Thanks kristie

Tom will be day 5 and liquids are not staying with me long. I feel full then hungry in 30 min to an hour is this normal? Any suggestions I'm trying to stay on diet plan!!!

Lessismore .... Feeling much better with protein. I actually has 500 calories and 69 grams of protein. I made black bean soup mixed it with lowfat cheese and liquified it in the blender. It is wonderful and I feel like I had a meal:-) I have a long way to go before soft foods but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. How are you doing?

Lessismore67 why one month on liquids? Are you including pre-op diet.

Missy joy just made my own black beam soup and can not wait to try it!! I am loving sharing experiences it helps so much!!

Farmer49 just drank my first whey shot it us so sweet sure makes me sick of sugar .. Thanks so much I will be able to get protein in this way for sure!!
