I am 23 yrs old and i have two small kids. I want to go through with the procedure im 5'7 and 220 pounds i have struggled bein over weight since i can remember i feel this is the right choice for me to regain my life back i feel trapped in my own body i feel low energy nd i want to do this because i know i will be dedicated to being healthy but i need this i cant do it on my own i want to offer my kids that healthy life style so teu dont go through the same struggles i do nd i want to have that energy to do much more activities with them then i do now The thing that keeps me thinking will i have any complications in the future nd if so will i regret puttin my self in a position where im going to miss out on my kids in the worst case scenario.. Financially Dr. Almanza in the Jerusalem clinic is looking like my only choice???

I finally did it today!! I didnt cheat not one bite not one lick nuthin!! Every time i thought about it i asked my self whts more important my kids or food? It sank in how bad i want nd need this i wish i could of stuck to it all 14 days but i got this im to the point that i know its not impossible so im not going to cheat MYSELF anymore i want this BAD it feels so good to hve accomplished this i dont want that feeling to go away... Surgery on friday

I tried wine at 4 weeks out made me naseaus! I tried the starberry and peach margarita those ready to go pouches this weekend at 5 weeks out nd they went down so mooth i loooovveeee!!! Beer but its not gonna be a part of my life anymore i dont want to drink Anythin carbonated i take a super small sip just for taste when i get my hubby one but thts it im glad i gound those margarita pouches though they are 5%alcohol nd i got the light margaritas with less calories i tried a piña colada 6% alcohol nd it was too strong on my tummy

Im almost 3 weeks out nd i also get full in my chest not my tummy?? Nd i feel a knot itn my throat like the food is sitting right there in my throat!

I got medical opinion she said have all the spicy i want as long as my sleeve agrees with it

I added hotsauce to my soup i just love spicy after all im Mexican nd i can eat Alot of spicy! Well it went down with no problem my stomach handled it well ... Does anyone know if its bad even if i can tolerate it?

Nice!! well good to know im not the only one then cause i love me some spicy

Im 10 days post op and i just wish i can eat real food.. I curious to know if anyone tried eating food this early?

Thankyou! Nd i love the saying at the bottom of one of the pages "IF U CAN CHEW IT DONT DO IT!" Lol i need to make this my motto

Thnks ) this is way more understandable

Im right there with u... My husband told me im in the house all the time i dnt go to school yet or hve a job so he suggested finding something i like to do and keeping busy nd i just need to keep those thoughts away this early i dnt want to harm my body knowing that i hve people that need me needs to be stronger thn the desire for food! Good luck nd if u find any suggestions pls share

I think i will

I asked this question because ive been so tempted nd a added like 5 pieces of salad geens to my cottage cheese nd it went down ok but then i felt sooooo full nd i was wondering if anyone ate food this early i did self pay in mexico so u really dont get to keep in touch with your Dr but my husband is in the army nd i have insurance so when i get a chance im gonna go get with someone in the xlinic to help me with this process i hvnt been able to rest i hve a 3yr old nd a 6 month old nd the night i came back my hubby had to leave for training at the field nd he will be back thursday but my kids take every last drop of my energy today im feeling depressed and overwhelmed i feel so tired n no energy i can only drink one protein shake 29g of protein i get so naseaus nd the rest of the day i hve broth nd popsickles but i got scared aftert i ate that salad cause i felt soo full im trying my beat to stay focused i dnt want to let food ruin my goals ANYMORE but thankyou all for ur time and ur words

Ok so i been taking this 100% whey Protein isolate its fat free and 29g of protein in one scoop i mix one scoop with 8oz of Water in the morning and one in the evening im sposed to hve 60-80g .....through out the day i also have about 2 sf popsickles and 2 sf fudgesickles and about 2 spoons of cottage cheese i liquify a can of campbells Soup with water and i hve 6-8oz of that plus my Vitamins and im sposed to hve at least 40 oz of water so i drink about 32oz because i get so full!! I got sleeved sep13 from the 13 to the 16 all i had was ice chips nd on the 17 juice & water so 18&19 i been eating what i mentioned above... Does this sound about right so far?? It just kind of doesnt feel right idk??

Im 4 days post op the scale says i gained 4 pounds nd its painful to eat ANYTHING i had to drink my protein powder with 8oz of hot skim milk this morning because warm liquids are a little easier to go down :/

Yeah i thought thats what it had to be well im down to what i weighed going to surgery today minus 1 pound im trying to get as much rest possible to recover nd be able to do more things my hubby had to leave nd wont be back til the end of november nd i hve a 3 yr old daughter nd. A 6 month omd son and a dog so im trying to take it easy :/

I boiled a cup o water and added my vanilla protein powder plus a little bit of decaf coffe nd it taste just like a cappucino nd im 4 days post op nd the ho liquids go down easier but i was wondering if hot liquid takes away from the protein powder??

Yesterday FRIDAY THE 13 my flight was sposed to take off at 750am its an hr nd 30 min dr from my house i got a call at one in the morning saying my fligh was delayed til 926am but still make it to my final destination in time wich is sandiego to get sleeved in tj i had to arrive by the lates 1 to get my sleeve that same day. So i leave my house at 7 am to hve an hr to hve an hr to spare at the airport halfway into the trip i remembered i forgot my cashiers check!!!! I had to turn around nd i was gonna miss my flight! I spoke to an agent that was about to change my flight departure to 1030 with 75$ charge nd the call disconnected i called a few more times nd nothing disconnected then finally an answer the agent was soooo rude told my they didnt hve nothin to depart that same day only first class and that i would hve to pay extra $200 ughh i was dying then i said well i got insurance on my ticket she said sorry i dont see it nd u wont get a refund! It was the worse i had almost given up i ask the Lord plz help me i called back again nd a nice agent answered she told me she could get me in sandiego by 450pm the coordinator said by 2 the latest to get surgery or i would hve to do it the next day in the morning by this point i dnt care i just want to get to sandiego nd then i told her bout my surgery she kept looking and she found. Departure at 11:20 am to get to SD at 2pm i was so happy i flew out at 11:20 So i get a connection flight. Flight departing at 120 and in SD by 2 it was a 3 hr flight so then we all board at 1 an they said by 120 there was a delay some circuit wrong with the plane that only would take 20 mins... An hour passed!! They offloaded everyone! Said the flight couldnt depart cause it was something wrong with the plane but that on the broght side there was a brandnew plane coming to get us but didnt know how lon it would take.... We ended up departing at 4 got to sandiego 3 hrs later at 5 pm the coordinator spoke to the Dr and he waited for me so i still got my surgery a little worried after all the bad luck! Nd in the plane both flights i sat in the middle of two big men so i couldnt even strech so uncomfortable! I started to think maybe i just shouldnt get it.. But im glad i did im recoverin today with no gas pain no pain really nd doctor says everything looks good! Thank God .. He also said i was the youngest nd "thinnest patient he had" i got here signed some paper work got blood work staright to the Anesthesiologist nd from there i dnt remember anything until i woke up bout 6hrs later already with the surgery done very drowsy nf i went right back to sleep... I WAS A NERVE WRECK but finally its done )

Thankyou! i also ended up not having to pay for the flight change and the doc told me when i got here everyone waited for u dnt worry we all took a nap lol .... But im glad i made it too!

I hve surgery friday nd i got a cold this morning

Thanxs for the heads up .... I just spoke to the coordinator she old me to take something with no acetaminophen in it nd that its just the body already changing from not hving everything it usually does nd she gave me the heads up to eat some blended chicken noodle or vegetable low fat Soup so hopefully that helps
