December sleevers



Recommended Posts

I love your user ID.... Imready2015!

I am five days post op and feeling great. I am going to work tomorrow! Thought I would have to take off two weeks.

My major issue is horrible taste in my mouth and bad breadth.... family complaints.

Yesterday I added Greek yogurt, it was a nice change from Protein drinks.

Best of luck to everyone and speedy recovery.

Oh man the bad breathe. I'm glad that isn't just me. I feel like I need to brush my teeth 12 times a day.

I'm so glad I found this post also. I'm scheduled for December 28th TOMORROW and I'm so nervous. Can't stop think maybe I can do this without the surgery or is it all really worth it. I feel really prepared but now I'm second guessing myself.

I was second guessing too but now that it is done (on 12/21) I still think it was the right decision. I have to remember that I have lost weight many times before and always gain it all back and then more. This will be my tool to not do that anymore! My recovery was relatively easy. Gas pain in the hospital but that disipated quickly. Barely used any of my pain medication. Hardest part is head hunger when the rest of the family is eating. We got this!

It's so nice to know that we are not going through this alone. I can't seem to turn my head off I'm so nervous but I know it's the right decision. I've struggled with my weight sense my teen years and always regain it all right back.

Looking for a buddy, my surgery is scheduled for Tuesday, Dec.29th. My first appt. with my surgeon was Dec. 1st, I made a quick decision to have the surgery during the holiday break (high school teacher.) Scared I will not be up and ready to teach on Jan. 4th?

I was sleeved on 12/22. Everything went great, almost no pain. Just some minor discomfort. Activity wise I'm almost back to normal. Just trying to get all my fluids in now.

      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!!
