Just moved to July 2nd



Recommended Posts

My surgery was scheduled for July 24th, but some upcoming changes in my life dictated that I get on the train a little more quickly, or put it off till this fall (which would have really devastated me, since I've been mentally preparing for so long!). I love the people at NWWLS in Everett - Leigh worked to get me in on July 2nd, and I'm extremely grateful to her for putting up with my frantic calls :)

Now the surgery is oh-so-real - I'll be starting my pre-op diet on Monday, and I'm determined to stick with it and lose 10 lbs.

Thanks, all!

I'm having a bit of the "what am I doing???" anxiety this morning, but it will pass. I'm excited at the same time, so it does feel a little odd B-)

I am going through nwwls also. I think sometime in August. Trish will submit to insurance after I meet with nut next week. When is your surgery and who is your surgeon? Mine is dr. Chock

I have Dr Michaelson, and my surgery is on July 2nd. Have you met with Sarah (the dietician) before? She's a sweetheart :)

Hi' date=' we have the same sleeve date. Just wondering how you are caring. I live in houston.[/quote']

I'm doing great! I've been able to get in around 60 grams of Protein and somewhere between 48 and 65 oz of liquid while I've been on the full liquids. I'm about to start soft foods, and I expect it will be a bit tougher to get my Protein initially, so I'll be sticking with at least one Protein shake a day.

My pain is pretty minimal at this point - a little still in my left shoulder and an occasional nudge from a couple of my incisions. I also still tire a bit easily, but not so badly that I can't function. I could have probably done fine at work starting last Monday. I walked about 2.5 miles today.

How are my fellow July 2nd sleevers doing?

      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!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
