Recommended Posts

I know what you mean kc342. I thought it was only me. I am scheduled for December 11 with Dr. Ortiz in TJ. I only have a couple of people I can talk to about it because of the stigma of having surgery in Mexico. Never thought it would be a solution for me but didn't want to have to go through all the jumping through hoops to get insurance to approve and having to wait. I have become so obsessed with my surgery. I keep reading and reading and watching videos. I keep emailing questions to my coordinator, who is really nice and doesn't mind all my questions. I don't start preop til day after Thanksgiving, but I have been replacing one to two shakes a day, trying them out. Trying not to eat and drink at same time., drinking my Water, whew....can you sat that's rough going all the time?

@@Megan00 - I am considering switching for multiple reasons including my comorbidities and the need for the increased speed of weight loss. I am also scared that since the sleeve doesn't really put any restrictions on WHAT you can eat after surgery I am going to fall back into old habits. Long story, but I have a call in to the doctor to get his opinion.

Did anyone ever start a FB group or anything like that for December sleevers? It's not always easy to find these old posts.

      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!!
