Recommended Posts

I'm so excited!!! Today our loan went though for the surgery....AND I got hired at a school district here. What a double blessing!!! I'll have plenty of time to have my surgery and to recover from surgery before school starts Aug 4th! Miracles do happen!!!! I'll go tomorrow and pay the surgeon and get my date. I hope it will be very soon.

Thank you everyone. I really feel like all of this is surreal. I'm now obsessively researching post op sleevers and how to get through the first couple of weeks. That is my biggest fear. I'm afraid of chronic nausea and low energy level. My plan is drinking lots of fluids right out of the gate to avoid dehydration.

Right now I'm facing lots of big life changes and I hope I'm strong enough to handle them all. They are all good, but it is alot of changes in a short period of time.

I know if I don't do anything else, this surgery WILL be the best thing for me and my family.

And to all you veteran sleevers...be prepared to be bombarded with lots of questions from this newbie!

Take care everyone :D

What an incredible day for you and your family! Looking forward to hearing back from you about when you get a date. Those obstacles are minor if you look what you have accomplished already. Getting a loan and a job...WOW. Smiles for you.

So happy for you. I can't tell you how much this surgery changed my life. Size 20 to a 12 (so far).. Amazing

Be sure to get some sugar free popscicles. They were my life saver!!

Also get some powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken Soup. The more you get the Protein in, the better you will feel.

Congratulations! So if bad things always happen in 3's does that mean that good things do to? Maybe time to go buy a lottery ticket.;)

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
