Describe your behavioral and emotional battle with weight control before learning about bariatric surgery.
Where to begin??? I have always been the "stocky built" girl ever since I can remember. I played softball when I was younger and then in High School played varsity soccer for 3 years so I was always "moving". Loved to go dancing and that kept the weight off but I was never the "skinny minnie" like a lot of my friends. Seems when I got pregnant with my son was when the real trouble started. I gained about 75 pounds during that time and lost about 50 right after. It was that last 25 pounds that was always a bear about haning around. I was happy on the outside but inside I was miserable, depressed.

I love my doctor!! I think we all say that about the person that was instrumental in saving our lives but if I had to do it over again...absolutely and would never change my doctor. I love ya Dr. Rodriguez and thank you and your wonderful staff at Belite Weight Loss and Star Medica Hospital/Juarez for all your wonderful care and attention you gave me during my stay. You, Dr. Elmo, Dr. Caldaron..everyone, explained exactly what was going to happen, when it was going to happen and how. I have never felt in better hands than when I was there in Juarez. Even with the language barrier, I never had any trouble communicating any of my needs (which were not alot I might add since they were very attentive) to the nursing staff at the hospital. I would most certainly recommending going to Mexico, this facility and having surgery again should the need arise...

XOXOXOXO!

Weight Stall
on April 4, 2013 11:01 am

Well since I last wrote I have been in a stall. I am still at around 180 to 185 and have been flucating between the 2 for about 6 months now. I am now trying to go back and eat differently that I have been lately..I'm feeling puny so it's been a power bar for breakfast, a glass of tea, an 8oz cup of chicken broth and a handful of peanuts (salted of course). I'm stressing right now and I haven't wanted to eat so much since before I had surgery but this is hard and I'm having trouble.

Lord help me get through this and get back on track...

Okay..now I'm really getting mad about this! I was in a stall for about 2-3 wks and then the scale started to move just slightly down so I thought...Cool, it's broke and it should start dropping again. Well guess what....IT STOPPED AGAIN AND I PUT 2LBS BACK ON!!! WTF!!!!? I have cut back again on eating, taking my vitamins, drinking my protein shakes and cut out almost all carbs expect what's in the foods I do eat that have the protein in it....CRAP CRAP!!!

I'm not giving up and it will never win! I'm winning this battle and the WAR!!!!! Bring on the calvery!!!

Didn't make my goal...crap.
on June 19, 2012 8:56 pm
Well my first goal was to reach 200 in 2 wks. Well it's 2wks tomorrow and I"m still 4lbs off the mark so I'm not going to make that goal. Crap...I was really hoping to make it but I guess I shot too high. So with that said, I'm going to make it in a week from tomorrow.

I'm going to do this...time to get back on track with walking and eating again.
