Getting Sleeved Tomorrow-In TJ Baby!!



Recommended Posts

Tomorrow is the day I have been waiting and regretting for the last 4 months. I have mixed feelings if you haven't figured that out by now. :( I am happy to have my daughter with me. She has really helped me get through the liquid part of this. We have been vacationing in San Diego for the last 4 days. I started my liquid faze on Tuesday at 2 pm. Did really well yesterday, until 8 pm last night, I ordered a salad and ate 1/2 of it. But that is the last of my splurging! Do you think that will hurt? I am not sure what time they will schedule me for Friday.

Anyone else going to have their surgery Friday in TJ with Dr. Almanza? Plz let me know so we can be buddies!

You will do great, I had my surgery with Dr. Almanza on May 25th and it was great. It is hard to vacation in San Diego while you are on a liquid diet, I had to watch my wife eat two large lobster tails while I was there on my liquid diet. Just relax and let them take care of you, he does about 150 of these sleeves a month so they know what they are doing. You need to follow their directions and it will go very smoothly for you. Their staff will really take care of you and your daughter while you are at the clinic and recovery house so you do not need to worry about anything. Enjoy your experience.

You think it's hard vacationing in San Diego on a liquid diet? Try living here! I've lived here since I was in high school. I know every single great place to eat and I can't go to any of them. I just keep telling myself that it's worth it. haha

      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!!
