Went to Texas to have my surgery done because it was about 1/3 of the price in NYC. 1 month after I was sleeved I decided to move back to the Caribbean and just chill out and focus on myself for a while. So now I'm living in St. Vincent struggling with my old habits because obviously missing the local food from living away it's hard to resist lol. So it's definitely been an interesting journey lots of things to adjust to. But I've definitely been working my ass off!! I'm back playing sports and in the best shape of my life. I currently work out 5-7 days a week. I play rugby Monday, Tuesday Wednesday I go to the gym on Thursday and play tennis with a coach on Friday and yoga on weekends.

Since surgery I have stopped snoring! I have more energy. I no longer have insomnia, sleep sound every single night.

If snap a lot about my weight loss. What I eat and my work outs. So if anyone wants to follow me on Snapchat and engage join the club snapchat# mzlala784

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
