Day one - Surgery

CHS

467 views

Today is my surgery day, July 22, in Tijuana Mexico with Dr. Elias Ortiz. I am very looking forward to an new beginning at 57 years old. My current weight is about 320 pounds. I will post my actual pre-operation weight after my surgery and pe-op weigh in. I am a bit anxious but very excited for my new life to come.

Well It's exactly three weeks to the day since mu "life changing" operation with the sleeve. I weighed in this morning at 295 for a weight loss since the surgery of 25 pounds and a weight loss since the pre-op liquid diet of about 45 pounds (started out then at about 340). I feel GREAT and no pain to speak of. Starting to eat pureed food but still fill up quick. It feels like a miracle. I know I have to work at this contributing 100% on track effort. This is the first time I have broken the 300 pound barrier in 15 years. Some pain and a lot of burping after eating. I have started donating the 3xl and 4xl cloths to the local goodwill. I will never wear them again!!! I am gong to keep one pair of pants and my "Lighterme" t shirt along with my size 48 belt so that I can always see where I was. Going to wear baggy pants and shirts until I hit 270 then a few new cloths. My ultimate goal is 215. Back to visit in Maine from Alaska on September 18th. Want to be below 270 by then. Pray for my strength as I continue my new life. I will also be thinking and praying for all me fellow sleevers and other bariatric teammates.

Sincerely, the Alaska Man
