  1. I had my surgery on November 1st, everything went well except they tried to release me when I was not ready to go to the hotel yet (still vomiting until I got out the door) Dr. Ortiz came the next day and spoke to everyone about my situation and it seemed to get resolved. Dr. Oritz is a highly skilled surgeon and overall I am happy with my experience. I have lost 24 pounds to date; however still on full liquids and hope to move to mushies next week. No real issues now, just enjoying the re-le...

  5. Someone said to me today "It must be so sad that you don't enjoy food anymore". My response was, "It's quite opposite, I enjoy food now more than ever. I never knew what it was like to take small bites and truly enjoy and savor every single bite. Now I am really enjoying my food whereas before, my food was controlling my life and I didn't even taste what I ate."

      It's nice to be able to eat "real" food and be satisfied. My best friend always gets a bagel ab

      nd she only eats half. Before the band I could have eaten two bagels at a time. Now we share one bagel and I usually only eat half of the half for breakfast and the other half of the half for lunch.

      Hey Deysi, look for liquid vitamins. I don't have any trouble swallowing pills but in the beginning I took liquid vitamins and liquid tylenol. I saw some at Costco the other day.

      I use that too. I don't really like the taste so sometimes I put it in a smoothie. If I don't have the smoothie I just pretend it's medicine and gulp it. Yup, I got it at Walmart too.That's a lot of protein and low calories. I have one in my lunch bag right now.

      I went to GNC and told them what I wanted to do. The guy there showed me a protein shake that was "lean". I told him I wanted it low in carbs and calories. This comes in the form of a powder so I mix it with Crystal light in my magic bullet and I have a smoothie.
