  2. Wonderful...wonderful! I knew it would all work out. I am so happy for u. You are now offically sleeved and on the losers bench. Speedy recovery......
  3. Ok guys...quick update! So it wasnt head hunger or none of that. I was feeling hungry because of the acid in my sthomach. Spoke with my doc and he said that the stomach is still producing a lot of acid. Having a stomach full of acid gives u the feeling of having an empty stomach. He said that I needed to take my nexium in the am of course on an empty stomach ...then another nexium 2 hrs before bed. This will help to reduce the acid in my stomach and the hunger pain should go away. Well lo and behold... I did it for one night and it made a differnce. I no it will get better. I was not starving all day...go figure. My surgeon is the bomb diggity... so pass the word on to others who may be having the same issues.

  8. OMG do I feel u.....I stay hungry. I'm only 6 days out and I'm on clear liquids only. I swear I'm having a tough time. I was so looking forward to not feeling hungry like so many described. If 80% of my stomach is gone why the hell is the other 20% starving. I cook for my kids and wanna eat so bad. I pray it gets better. At least when I get to puréed foods I can't sumthin more thick. We gotta hang in there that's all.

At least u guys get to meet each other there. I was the only one there the entire week. I will be sending prayers up for u. You will do fine! But since u guys are just a week behind me we are still sleeve sisters. I am feeling better still have gas and lil reflux. Can not get in the Protein or Water but, im doing my best. Energy is picking up a bit. Please keep us posted. Best Wishes
  10. I used to be able to do the protein shakes before surgery now I can't even come close to getin it in. Lordy.....I can't wait for food. OK i guess I gotta try this unjury stuff.
  11. Wow...I am 6 days post op and I am hungry all the time. I was looking forward to not being hungry. But I feel u though I can't get it in either. The protein clear shakes I cant stand and I no Im not gettin in my water. I can't wait for pureed foods. they keep saying it gets better and I can't wait.
  12. Wow..that is awesome. Girl if I could lose 100lbs in 6 months I wouldn't no how to act. great story! U look great!!
  13. Ill send prayers up for both of u. Much sucess on ur journey.
  14. This a great Question cause I have a 2 year old as well. I was sleeved 11/22 In fact I am a single mom of 3 lil ones all under 8. But my girl is so independent she likes to do everything on her own. She does like to be picked up but I told her I cant. So I sit down and let her sit on my lap. For everything else I have devised a system. I have a step stool on every floor. So she steps in the tub and out on the stool. She steps up on the stool into her crib and out. She steps on stool to get n my bed. She climbs up into her car seat. U have got to explaain to ur 2yr old that u cant pick her up. But u can give hugs just help her be more independent. I m gonna give myslef about 4 weeks as well. Congrats..
  15. Thxs everyone.....I appreciate all the love. @ Mim u r so right with everything u said. I'm gonna b patient. Such good words of advice.
  16. My experience with Dr Aceves and his team has been awesome. Everyone has been so attentive and kind. The nurses don't speak much english but they do the best they can in getting u what u need. I have some cramping but for the most part that's it. I have been treated with such respect and the hospital is very clean. I must say this has been a very good experience. I have nothing but good things to say about my time here. I do feel hungry which I thought I wouldn't but i hope this is just a mind thing. Anyway I leave Friday and will be heading home. If u want to check out my journey i am on youtube MsLadyKanKan. Thxs
  17. Thanks for the prayers surgery was uneventful. I still have some cramping and a lil gas pain but over all I feel ok. I have been able to drink and sip soups. I am 2 days post op and moving around. Thanks so much for your prayers. Keep them coming as I recover. Much luv....
  18. I was looking forward to no tfeeling hungry like so many describes. I was also looking to not having a craving for food but right now all I keep thinkingbout is rice and beans.Ive' been drinking and eating soup but it ain't doing nothing for me.I did look at my xray of my new stomach and it is smaller but boy oh boy does my appetite say something different. I feel a little heartburn and a little gas pain but I dont feel full like i thought I would. Ok what the hell? I want my food cravings to go bye-bye why are they still here?
  19. Oh I am not sure why your experiencing this. I am post op 2 days and have had no issues swallowing. I do feel crampy and a lil tight in my chest but no pain while drinking. Maybe u have a lot of gas that needs to be released. Keep walking take sum gas x strips and talk to your doctor. It should get better.
  20. I just had my surgery tuesday November 22 with Dr Aceves in Mexicali, Mexico and talk about nervous. But, once I met the entire team my fears went away. i tell u this...it may all seem like a dream once your going through the process but it is real and is worth it. I promise it will be the best decision of your life. All the fears you are having I had and I was about to call the whole thing off but, i got on youtube and started looking at some of the most amazing sucess stories and got my nerve back up. After that I was fine you are going through normal emotions and you will be ok. Go for it girl it will be the best decision of your life.
  21. Hey Ya'll feeling better on the third day. Not much pain just some gas but, i have been able to go to bathroom. I had my xray of my stomach and everything looked great no leaks or nothing. I was given a soup today and it taste pretty good. I only took a couple sips but i will finish it up. I am walking around more and feeling stronger. After I met the Doctors all my fears went away. You will be in great hands Seraphina and I promise you are doing the best thing for you. I can't believe i did it. It all seemed to happened so fast once I got here. Thanks for all the love and great vibes they are working. I'll be uploading my pre surgery video today on you tube so check it out.
  22. Your funny seraphina....yes my own channel. lol. The cramping is a lil better not much though. but i can manage. As for the drugs welll...not as strong as the ones in the states. I opted not to have the spinal block so they had to dope me up a little more. I was out of it a bit. Now that they disconnected my IV im not getting as much pain. but, i still have the cramping. Ive been walking and using my IS. I now it will get better. Your gonna do fine when u come mama!! Youll be fine
