Im A May Sleever!



Recommended Posts

Does anyone think right after surgery a couple days out, it's normal to be emotional? I've been crying all day. Over pictures, all kinds of silly things!

I burst into tears a few days after surgery. Scared my poor mom and hubby half to death. Go easy on yourself. You deserve to rest and heal.

Holly,

So glad you are doing well! I thought about you a lot last weekend!

Did you like Dr. Ponce ?

This time next week I will be in Tijuana and sleeved by Dr. Ponce! I start my liquid diet tomorrow!

How long did you have the drain ?

Keep up the good work!

Candi

Thanks for thinking of me Candi you will love Dr. Ponce he is great... I had the drain in until i left the hospital so i had surgery on Thursday night and left for the hotel on Saturday around 2pm Make sure you try to bring some silky pj's and a light robe... they will help you maneuver in the bed.. and the rob will help cover up your behind..:-) I was cold in Mexico so bring a light jacket .. but i'm always cold..anyways... oh and chapstick.. the first 24hours you don't get to have anything.. i had a dry mouth sooooooo bad.. chapstick helped with that.. Good luck.. i wish you a smooth safe surgery!!!!

May 21 with Dr. aceves. Starting to get a little nervous (eg can I do the post op diet?!). Did people clean out their cupboards? How'd you prep the house?

I have never seen it mentioned anywhere... How long after surgery do you have to wait before you're allowed to shower?? I will have a drain in for a couple of days.

I did not have a drain and was told I could shower 2 days after surgery.

Hi everyone! Just wanted to say hi before things start moving along. It's almost 6am in Tijuana, and I'm scheduled for surgery at 8:30. So, so, SO nervous, but Trish has been phenomenal and assures me everything will be fine. Fingers crossed!

Hello, I have taken the first step in getting the sleeve, I went to the required seminar. What is the process and how long does it take from the time you go to the seminar/first dr visit to actually having the surgery?

Thanks for the information and best of luck to you all.

Examples of liquids that are allowed: If not on the list, it should not be consumed.

Black Coffee

Skim Milk

Low or no sugar fruit juices

Jello sugar free

I am really digging the protien powder that I got from Chike nutrion.. I got thier free samples of flavors they offered and loved them so much I ordered more... all the flavors are good and they don't taste like a protien shake... I highly recomend it.

      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!!
