I thought it can't hurt to look for locals that have or are having surgery

Hi!! I live in canyon and work in Amarillo! I was sleeved 9/27 in Mexico by dr poce de Leon.

September! How is your progress? I've had a really rough start but think I'm finally starting to recover. I had my surgery 12/31. So I'm just a few weeks out. I'm having trouble figuring out how to eat! I can't stomach most of the Protein drinks!

[mcwestfam 123]

Sorry you are off to a ruff start!! Those first fee weeks are tuff!! I'm 15 weeks postop and down 53 pounds!!! Couldn't be happier!!

Hang in there!! It really does get easier. I hated the Protein shakes. They make me so nauseous. But I'm able to get most my Protein in now with food. Who did your surgery?

[JamieDawn 8]

I work at Nwth so dr hodges did mine. I'm so looking forward to getting past these first weeks.

[JamieDawn 8]

Congrats on your weight loss!

Wow!! I work at NWTH too! Lol!! I love dr hodges!! I work in radiology. And I'm contracted so my insurance isn't NWTH. And my insurance wouldn't cover it. So it was just cheaper for me to go to Mexico. Are you still on liquids or purees?

[JamieDawn 8]

That's cool I work in Nicu a lot of people at Nwth have had this surgery! I'm on liquids. I think I can start puréed stuff Monday. I'm definitely not getting enough Protein in right now. I'm working on getting enough Water in lol I got about 1/2 cup of a Protein Shake in this am.

[mcwestfam 123]

It's a very popular surgery and it's great that NWTH covers it!! Which Protein shake are you drinking. Pure Protein was the best one I found. I still drink one on days that I'm struggling.

Yay for Monday!! Hopefully purees will be better for you!!

[JamieDawn 8]

I've got a bunch of different drinks. Where do you get pure Protein?

[mcwestfam 123]

I get it at Walmart. They have chocolate and vanilla. I get the ready to drink ones. They really aren't that bad. Better than any of the other ones I tried! Lol!!

[JamieDawn 8]

I haven't tried that one... I'll have to try it!
