6 Weeks Post Op!
My world is drastically different! I now walk 3 to 4 miles a day and I’m constantly getting up to move my body! .
I close my Apple Watch rings daily and about 4 to 6 days a week I double or triple them!
I have been released to have all foods. When I reintroduce some I need to start at 1 ounce to see how “Tiny Tummy” likes it!
I am not reintroducing sugars, coffee or junk! I did not pay close to $13,000 to fail! .
I went to get follow up bloodwork done this week and my numbers are all in the perfect range! .
This is my new world and I am happy it!

I am OFFICIALLY SLEEVED! (surgery was Dec 9th, 2019)
It was an easy procedure for me and I am not having complications. If you want to see part one of my journey go here: https://sabrinagoddess.com/life-on-the-other-side-post-op-wls
I will be making new posts during this whole process!

2 Days Till Surgery!It's time! Time to start my clear liquids! I am prepared! Tomorrow I will only take in clear protein, bone broth and jello for the next two days.My surgery will be done on Monday, December 9th at 8:00 AM. I have to be at the hospital at 5:30 AM (EWWW) but who cares? LOL. Funny how you don't get all upset about doing things that are not so fun when you are doing it for a purpose!.I don't plan on doing much this weekend. I have one errand to do and after that is over I will return to my hotel room and go into prayer and meditation. Believer or not, you got to do what you need to do in order to get your heart and mind in a healthy place..I have a Pre-Op drink I ordered that is supposed to really help your body hydrate before surgery. It's not in the photo just because I don't have it in my hands yet. I will put photos of it up when I get it..All I can think about it how blessed I am to be able to get this done. I know how it feels to be healthy and happy then have it snatched away. It makes this all the more joyful for me..So, it's time to lay it down and start letting my mind process what we are getting ready to do..By the way...funny story. My doc said he had to cancel a surgery because his patient said she thought "Mashed Potatoes" was a clear food! Um, there will be no mashed potatoes for me! LOL This is HAPPENING!.Last thought for today: I knew when they drew my blood yesterday it was going to leave a nasty bruise and I was right. I am so sensitive to that kind of stuff.

SO super stoked about how close this is going to happen. Pulled out my suitcase and I'm starting to prep for my journey. I leave next week.

Bet it snows while you're in Denver. At least you don't have to go to Houston to see Dr. Now. lol

How are you getting protein fluids and meds , do they tell you what the new stomache capacity is , are you on pain meds, blood thinner shots ? It sounds like you are doing really well. Congrats. My pre op is next week.

Hey everyone. Happy Sunday! Today is day three after surgery. I am blessed to have the support of my family as well as members of this group. You guys rock. I had my surgery at 3 pm Thursday and I was determined to be walking as soon as possible. I began doing laps around 7. My wife was there motivating me as well as other patients who became part of the posse. My pain was not bad at all but I did have bad gas. I was worried about meeting my fluid and protein goals but I am surpassing both as of yesterday. My only regret is putting this surgery off as long as I did. Thanks guys and will talk again soon.
