Today I am 24 days post opt. I have lost 20 lbs. I have decided to not weigh myself everyday like I have been. It makes me feel sad when I don't lose everyday. I think that has caused me to have unrealistic expectations of my sleeve. So I will only weigh myself on Wednesdays. What I have been able to do Is to fit in clothes that I haven't worn in years.

I am going into my second week and all I have had is broth and water/Gatorade. I hear that some people that got sleeved the same day as me have already started their "mushy" foods.

Got my sleeve yesterday. I have an IV in my left arm now and it is very hard to type with one hand. I am drinking very small amounts of apple juice and water.

So today I head down to Mexico. I am so excited! I did so so on the the 3 day per diet. The coffee has been the hardest to get off of.

My BMI is 29 right now and I do not have any other health problems. I might post some before pictures tonight but I haven't decided. Wish me luck

I will only be doing a 3 day pre-op diet. I hope that is enough. I am following the instructions from the doctor. OK so here is my fears that have surfaced ...
1. I am going to Mexico to have surgery by a doctor that has never seen me ( and I have never seen him)
2. I think I'm crazy
3. What if because my BMI is on the low side for this type of surgery, the doctor will not take out the "normal" amount of stomach. Thus causing me to have to either go through another ...
