Thanks everyone!!! I just keep on swimming looking for whats new to come. Cant wait till Monday when i can have some mushies

I had Dr almanza, just remember that your not in the states and they do things diffrent then we do. i kinda freaked out when we 1st got there and brought us to a lab and when they took are blood they didnt use gloves, but at the clinic they always used them. other wise everyone there was great.

im 10 days post op and feeling better every day. I went out and bought some stuff to clean my wounds on Saturday, so i sprayed it on and put on a big bandaid over my larger cut. I ended up being alergic to either the spray or bandaid and ended up with a big red, itchy spot with blisters (sucks). I couldnt handle the itchyness of it and wasnt sure if it was a bad reaction or i had an infection so i went to the Drs yesterday. Dr did say it was a alergic reation (thank god). I just need to make sure i get more water and protein in cuz I dont have much energy, its hard i have to remind myself to drink because i just dont feel hungery. Cant wait till next Monday till I can eat some diffrent foods.

Im 6 days post-op and my larger wound is red and itchy, this just started today. has anyone else had this or should i be worried?

so im now 6 days post-op. i still dont have much energy cuz im not getting in enough calories. Today ive had 10oz of water, 6oz of protein shake, and 1 ice-pop so far. i know im not getting in enough fluides just having a hard time with it. Every time i drink i get a pain in my tummy im sure its just trapped gas, i have to sit up to drink or i cant get my burps out. I had weight gain after surgery im guessing due to IVs and stress on the body, im only down 4lbs since my surgery weight. Im feeling better and better every day and i cant wait to say that i really enjoy my sleeve right now hes just OK

had my surgery on Monday Oct 11th, everytime i drink i feel sick to my stomach. i hope this goes away i dont want to feel this was for the rest of my life.

i arrived into San Diego at 8 pm headed to the the hotel and was out . Woke up the next morning and headed for TJ, they picked us up at at the airport and drove us across the boarded. 1st stop was to have are blood drawn and then off to the clinic (which might freak one out cuz its in a strip mall but it was very will ran and clean) We did are paper work, tests and were brought to our rooms to wait our turn for sugery. Surgery was done dont remember much of it, just remember the pain and the thought of what the hell did i just do to myself going through my head. 1st night was rough and had a hard time sleeping even with the sleep aid and pain meds. Day 2 we went to the recovery house, still in pain but they were really good at giving me pain and nause meds(yes i had nause bad) woke up in the middle of the night with nause so bad and it s hard to throw up when theres nothing in your belly but a little water and popcicles. Day 3 had to get our leak test done(the crap they make you drink is nasty). i was a little better still very week cuz of not getting in alot of calories, did go shopping for about an hour and that was enough for me. Day 4 the pulled my drain out(which was the weirdest feeling ever felt like i had worms moving in my belly as they pulled it out). then we were off to head back over the boarder and head to the airport to come home. i think we left the house at about 10 i didnt get to my house till 6pm i was drained got in bed and fell asleep still not feeling my best i have nausa every time i drink, hope it gets better over time. make sure you sip your water slow cuz theres lots of air that gets traped in your tiny tummy. Id like to thank Tamra and her mom Diana for helping me get through this they were a life saver since i went down by myself. Much Love Kerri

Starting my 3 day pre-op liquid diet tomorrow, so worried about cheating Hope to hear more from those October sleevers that have had there surgery and how your all doing.

a week from today, i'll be flying out to San Deigo for surgery on Monday.

Can you all beleive its already October? I started looking into VSG back in June, now Im down to 10 days!!! Hopfully the next 10 days will go by fast. Good Luck to everyone and i hope you all will post your surgery updates on here.

sleeveorbust looks like your starting us October sleevers. Good Luck tomorrow and keep us updated.

less than 2 weeks to go!!!

im having surgery on the 11th of Oct. I have all ready lost weight but i have a hard time seeing changes in myself. my daughter came up with a way i can see my changes. we bought a large sheet of paper large enough for me to trace my body on it. So we hung it on the wall and traced around my body, were gonna do this every month so i can see my changes. Kids are so cleaver!

2 weeks and I'll be on the losing bench :scared0:

i weight 240 and my dr only has me on a liquid diet for 3 days.

i just found out that i only have to do pre-op for 3 days:001_tongue: and then 2 weeks of liquids post-op. sounds good to me! ive read on here where some people have to do it way longer than that so im glad. I have myself stocked up on protein both shakes and unjury chicken broth. have the gummie vitamins, crystel lite ect. I guess im as ready as i can be!!!

i just found out i only need to do a pre-op for liquids for 3 day.:biggrin0: and then 2 weeks post-op. im getting wicked excited to get this done. WOOHOO! (i say this now not sure how I'll feel after surgery:scared0:) Were getting closer girls!!! i only have a little over 2 weeks to go and i know some of you are just a week away. Cant wait till we can all shake our :biggrin0: and be proud of it!!!

I tought id keep a blog for myself so i can look back and see how, and what ive done in the next year. I started losing weight with my own will power feb 09. i started at 287lbs and got down 219. I had tried weight watchers which i think i lost 15lbs in 4 month, i also tried HGC shots i lost about 20lbs. i have gained some of the weight i have lost now and im really upset with myself. How come i cant lose the weight and control what im doing and keep it off? why do i have to eat almost nothing in order to lose weight? Why cant i be like my friend who is 120 and eats a mcdoubles with a 4 peice of chicken nuggets on it? I know WHY,WHY,WHY. Oct 11th is going to be the start of something new! im nervous and excited at the same time!!! LETS GET THIS, Kerri

so ive been buying things little by little so i have it ready for my surgery. I found a must have i thought id tell you about. dont buy the chicken broth from the store it only has 2g of protein, go online and order unjury chicken soup broth it has 21g of protein and 1g carb in 8oz and its pretty tasty. If anyone else knows of any low carb protein mix that tastes good let me know. im always looking for some good post-op protein liquids.

Your doing great! im hoping for 30lbs in 2 month

WOW! you did pretty good on HCG. i did it for 6 weeks and only lost 18lbs and i never cheated.

Im glad im not the only one that feels this way! im sure will all do good and hopfully we have no problems with our surgerys. Next year this time will be shaking our skinny asses:ciappa: :cursing:

3 weeks from today Ill be getting sleeved!!!

Do any of you think like me? Im so excited about getting VSG but at the same time i think to myself "what if i dont lose anything"? Could i be the the one that wont lose and will stay fat forever? At the same time I can visalize myself being skinny, its crazy. I would like to think all positive thoughts, but that "WHAT IF is stuck in my head. I wish I could fast foward to 6 months from now so i could check out my progress. I guess I just have fear of the unknown???:thumbup1:
