I made it to the other side. 4 days post op and having trouble getting my Fluid in. Any suggestions?

Have you gone back to ice. I realize that it still hurt to drink Water, unless I really measure it, but I can eat ice more freely.

I went this route because I'm sell pay. Everything but the flight down is $4400.00. Can't pass that up compared to like 17K in my state.

The doctor I picked in Mexico preformed a sleeve surgery on both my mother, sister, and aunt. All safe. All successful. None had any issues whatsoever afterwards. I completely trust it.

who did you pick?

Im going with Ready For A Change, their Tijuana office. Dr. Fernando Garcia is performing my surgery. He's done three others on my family members so far. I'm so nervous!

I am still scheduled for Monday, September 29. On my liquid diet now and STILL wondering if I made the right choice. I guess I will be doing that right until the moment the anesthesiologist puts me out.

Im feeling the same way. I can't stop worrying that I'm making a mistake. I know I'm not, but it's hard to turn that teeny part of my brain off.

My surgery is almost here!!! I get my sleeve on Tuesday. I CANNOT WAIT!!! So darn excited. I'm so ready for this. Been doing liquids for 12 days now and even that doesn't bother me. My husband is nervous and scared, but I'm not. I didn't know I had sleep apnea until I had pre-op testing and come to find out I do. Can't wait to ditch my C-Pap machine the very minute I don't need it anymore. Having to wear that sexy thing was the last straw. Made want to do this even more. Good luck to everyone scheduled for this week...Our new lives can finally begin. YAY!!!

16 days post-op and doing great! Eating soft foods and energy is returning. Liquids are not a problem anymore and getting Protein is easier now since I struggled with the shakes my dr let me monitor protein by food instead :-)

mind if I ask what kind of soft foods. I need ideas for when I get there next week????

I questioned the process myself. I'm glad that I had this opportunity. I know I am only 2 days out, but I know this is the beginning of something wonderful.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
