@@Hisbrowneyedgirl I have never had surgery. So anything you can tell me. I am excited but I guess nervous at the same.time.

This was my first as well. I asked for an anxiety med during pre op. My nerves were shot. I only remember flashes after that. My husband said it was about 3 hours from when I left him until I was put in my room. My only pain was from my hernia repair. Morphine was a godsend! I slept most of that first day. The second day was so much better. I was walking around, doing Water and sleeping.

36 hours post op and feeling good.

Just drank the dye for my X-ray not the greatest taste but tolerable.

A diet of ice chips yesterday and walk walk walk minimal discomfort. The worst was immediately after surgery I had lots of gas pain in the chest and shoulder thankfully it started to ease off after about two hours. I was up walking about 1 hour after getting back to my room from recovery. The hospital INT here in Tijuana has been wonderful the staff so attentive and quick to respond to any needs. The language barrier has not really been an issue. I'm so happy I did this and hope the rest of my journey goes as well. I have a 5.5 hour flight Saturday home that I'm a little concerned about but sure it'll be fine.

Thank you so much.???? I'll be sure to ask for something as well during pre-op.

Had mine done Monday, 6/15. Got pretty nervous about the whole thing and was wondering what the heck I was doing. Didn't back out though. The surgeon talked to my wife about 40 minutes after it started, but it was another 2 hours or so before I was moved to my room. No hernia and it went well from his perspective.

So far, surgery day has been the worst. I ran a low-grade fever, and my blood pressure stayed high for the 24 hours I was in the hospital. I bring that up because I've only registered high blood pressure 1 time. Normally I run on the low side. I ended up having a bit of trouble with the morphine. I dry-heaved a couple times from it but nothing too horrible. We went ahead and switched to percacet (sp?) which seemed to help the nausea. I got up several times and walked laps around the halls. I suspect that is why I have had almost no gas pains. would strongly suggest walking as much as you can if you can get out of bed. I've pushed the walking pretty hard and I think that has helped with recovery.

The first time I brushed my teeth at home after the surgery I brushed my tongue. BIG MISTAKE, the gag reflex got me and I threw up. So, mental note made, be careful when brushing teeth. That is the only time i've actually thrown up except for the dry heaves from the morphine.

I don't seem to have any trouble getting Water down, at all. Protein is a different topic though. I like the Protein2.0 you can buy at Kroger, but it only has 15 grams of Protein. Isopure has a lot more protein, 40 I think, in only 4 extra Fluid ounces. Dang it's gross though. I'm trying to drink the Isopure the most but it's tough.

Haven't really been hungry, which obviously is totally weird. I sat with the family at dinner and it didn't really bother me to eat/slurp broth while they ate the good stuff. I lost 5 lbs during the 1 week pre-op diet, and 10 post-op so far. I'm really trying to push the protein to keep that number growing.

Hi all! Surgery was yesterday. I didn't feel too great after I woke up, the pain was pretty bad (almost in par with my C-section), & I vomited a little blood but I feel AMAZING today! Because I traveled ystdy was a very long day, so I went into surgery pretty darn crabby because I had been up since 2am Thurs morning. But I feel so much better now.

Hotel Angeles is a great hospital; I'm so glad I had it done here. Nicest nurses and docs.

I just got home from the hospital (today is Friday). I was sleeved on Wednesday and had an umbilical hernia repair. I think the hernia repair hurts more than anything. I struggled badly with pain when I was woken up from the surgery and for the rest of the day. But today I feel kind of happy. Strangely, I'm more focused on healing than losing weight. Hopefully weight loss happens too :)

      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.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      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!!
