Any Jersey Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

April - even though I can't find your post to me, I'm responding hoping you will get this. I had surgery on the 19th and have had no complications other than extreme weakness during the second week post-op. I'm feeling good - like I haven't even had surgery. Of course the small amounts I can eat remind me otherwise.

Thanks so much for asking! How are you doing?

No pre-op preperation..I was actually searching for surgeons in my area and this doctor and his two brothers have a practice together, and I didn't want to have the surgery in my local hospitals and found that this practice has right at Englewood, and yes I believe it is Englewood hospital

GREAT I will be using a Dr. Daniel Herron at Mount Sinai Hospital in Manhatten.....II once thought of going to Mexico however, after doing alot of Research......that is completely out of the question....for many,many reasons....I have a relative who was going to go to Piedras Negras,Mexico to a dr. guillermo alvarez(he advertised with fancy advertisements) however, my cousin could not go through with the operation since he has a blood issue...he ased for the $1,000 back that the coordinator took on behalf of the doctor.....apparently, this is her finders fee and she will not part with it....what a shame that a medical practice has to be so awful.....people have to be rather diligent in the choice of their surgeon and support staff....it truly means alot...... I hope that all goes well for you...Englewood Hospital has great care....

      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.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      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!!
