Well I haven't been able to sleep all night. I think I have slept a total of 2 hours. There are 3 of us and I made the mistake of just getting one room. My friend that is getting sleeved with me myself our sharing a bed. The r full size beds (maybe Queens but I think full) & and for 2 big girls that was not a good idea. I made sure that after surgery when we check back into the hotel that we have 2 rooms that connect. We also had a problem getting our 2 bottles of Water a piece because we r sharing a room I guess. When we got to the room there was only one bottle of water so we called them for the other 3 because we were told that they would give us 2 bottles a day per sleever. They said that they could only give us 2 per room. I'm not complaining but I just wanted everybody to know in case u have a choice of 2 rooms. If 2 bottles of water is my only issue yay for me. I realized I made a mistake in my early post about who picked s up from the airport. It was Samuel not Abraham. Sorry Samuel lol. Well 2 more hours before I head to the hospital. I will post again when I can.

Sorry it took me so look to check in but yesterday was ruff and I was the 1st surgery of the day. We ran a little late because dr Garcia got a flat on the way to the hospital. Just to let everybody know,I didn't see any naked people and dr Luna had read my post and asked me about my neon toes. Lol I said u read are post and he said yes. He said he would not let any patients see me naked lol. U con't ask for better car. There has been just a little problem with the language barrier but not bad. I will post more later. Good luck and well wishes to the sleevers that r leaving soon.

Yay you're done! Feel better, rest, walk, sip, all that. Thanks so much for posting. That's cool about Dr Luna reading our posts, been watching him and Dr Garcia and the gang on You Tube so I feel like I know them already and now they know us!

Yay! That first night IS hard, huh?

Isn't dr. Luna such a cute baby face!? And r4ac really is good at what they do. I'm glad I didn't pick different coordinators.

I am home, and had the best nights sleep since this adventure began last Friday. Yawn

I hope the rest of your recovery and trip are uneventful. <3

      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!!
