Dr. Ramos Kelly.

I start my protein diet tomorrow (4/16) with surgery on 4/30 (Gastric Sleeve) in Phoenix. Going from 313 to 200.

I was sleeved on 4/14 as well. First day was a little bumpy with gas and nausea but Im feeling much better today. Still in the hospital but I think they are going to discharge me today. Can't wait! Good luck to everyone.

Scheduled for Tuesday. Still on pre-op liquids and continuing to go to the gym. I'm trying to get everything done and in order...feels like I'm nesting. Only baby I'm getting this time is a baby tummy. ????

My surgery is scheduled next week, April 23!! I am 1 week into the pre-op diet, and still feeling a bit hungry. I know I'm not drinking water like I should, so I am pushing myself today.

Getting so excited! I am obsessed with looking at before & after photos! I am sure I'm not alone......lol

April 28th!

Congrats to you all!

Today is 1 week since my surgery, not a lot of energy yet, but the only pain is from my staples and they come out on Tuesday!! Can't wait to go swimming.

I weighed myself this morning and have lost 25.5 pounds since starting the pre-op liquid diet!!!

I'm really happy the surgery is behind me and can't wait to lose more!!

Good luck to those whose time is close, the pain doesn't last forever, you CAN do it!!!!

Thanks for the encouragement. I was sleeved today and wasn't prepared for just how much it hurts. Very, very tired, too. Walking around is hard. So glad it is done, though.

@Jennicarn: each day the pain will be less and less....I didn't walk a lot in the hospital either. You'll notice a huge difference in your pain and gas a week from now.

Take care,

Lori

Had my preop labs, ekg and upper GI today [worst test ever lol]. Picked up my post op scripts, paid the surgeon and hospital, and submitted my leave paperwork. My regular scheduled days off are fri/sat so I'll pack my hospital bag then. I'm working up until Wednesday bc otherwise I'd go nuts at home but I'm so ready!!!!!!!!!!

I'm ready to go!!!! Signed my consent forms today!!! Monday can't come soon enough!!!
