Awesome!! Their staff is AMAZING! I was out of there in four hours when I got my surgery.

I had surgery on may 11th. I'm down 81lbs and I feel awesome! Did you ever think it was possible to get sick of people telling you how good you look? That's what will happen to you :)

The food wasn't great. I recommend getting the rice based snack bars because the other ones taste like clay. You'll be super hungry but just remember it's only temporary. I are lots of mashed potatoes (the medifast kind) and when I couldn't take it anymore, I ate a piece of grilled chicken. I lost 14 lbs which they seemed happy with. I encourage you to have a last meal and pig out before you start because those days will be completely gone. It's worth it though!

I'm doing great! I've been completely off all my pain medications since Wednesday and I've been walking around since 2 hours after my sugery. I'm very blessed! How about yourself?

I'm glad to hear it! The pain wasn't bad at all for me either. I'm fully healed and able to eat whatever I want by this point. I like salad and crackers since they don't seem to sneak up on you and make you uncomfortable after eating. I don't really like anything with bread anymore since it makes me feel like I'm going to explode.

      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!!
