  2. That's really good that you're doing so well! I wish i could say the same! lol! I'm Having trouble getting enough food and fluid down so I'm kinda of tired all the time. I keep hoping things get better soon. But on the bright side i've lost 44 lbs!

    Thanks so much, im sitting here waiting foe them to take me for surgery! Eekk im starting to get nervous talking about it!
  5. The first 3 weeks were really rough. It's been a hard adjustment trying to get all my fluids and meals vitamins in. I'm not doing the best job. But I'm working on it! Look forward to getting my energy back! Thanks for asking. :-)
  6. Hey, how is your journey going so far?

    Hey sweetie! hope you are doing better! Hang in there!
  9. I'm doing great thankfully. Surgery went super smooth. They took really good care of me at HMC. About 6 days after surgery I got food poisoning which through me into bad vomiting and dehydration which I couldnt kick. As soon as my surgeon saw me he put me right back in the hospital. 48 hours later and I was doing soo much better. I just felt so well taken care of bcz he saw me daily and sat through all my crazy, neurotic questions (i'm a nurse). Very thorough and patient. LOVED him!

    I live in Brownsville but my doctor setup everything with him. Upon hearing everything that happened, she pulled every single one of his patients and is sending them all to your doctor. How are you recovering?
  11. I am doing much better than I was a few days ago. I have been home for 2 days now and I am just learning how to adjust to the new sleeve. Yesterday I took 3 walks and the last one was about half a mile so I probably walk nearly a mile yesterday. The only thing I am struggling with is learning how to sip instead of drink. I have a lot of gas and burning still whenever I drink something. How are you doing?

    I'm so excited. Can't wait!!! Feeling a little sluggish, but good. The question is how are you doing. Glad to see all went well. Hope you continue to improve and have much success!
  13. Surgery went smoothly! The recovery has been a bit rough but hopefully will continue to improve! I'm still on pain and nausea meds around the clock. That's the only thing that keeps my pain and nausea manageable. Today I felt very uncomfortable but I'm hoping tomorrow is better. Overall I'm really happy I did it!! Have gone from 231lbs to 213 so that makes me . As long as it continues I will happily put up with all these issues!! Hope everyone is doing well!!

1 Month Post op

by beachgirl on 05-25-2013 at 11:51 AM
Just completed my 1 month post op. Dealing with mixed emotions about this whole process.. I weighed in and I'm down 36 lbs since I started this process. 25lbs since surgery. Which is awesome of course. The down side is I'm still not feeling myself. My energy levels are super low. I'm having a hard time getting in my multivitamin (tried splitting it crushing it mixing it with jello/pudding/swallowing on its own) and nothing seems to help. I fight to get in my liquids averaging about 40 a day and

Had a great day.. Went to work 1/2 a day. Got dressed up did my hair did my make up.. all to see my surgeon this afternoon. My visit went AWESOME! I have lost 25lbs total 14 since surgery 2 weeks ago! Yay me! My dr was super happy to see me doing so much better. He was really pleased with my progress. I had never seen him so excited with himself and me I guess!! Gave me the thumbs up to move onto the next phase of the diet, which certainly made me smile. He said he couldn't wait to see me at my

Birthday Girl!

by beachgirl on 04-29-2013 at 08:27 PM
Had my 41st Birthday today! Had my Jello cake with a candle. lol! It was a pretty quiet uneventful day! Other than the fact that I found out my husband will need surgery to repair his shoulder! He's going under the knife next Monday! Now I feel bad I was so upset at him last week, especially bcz he's been such a sweetheart taking care of me all week. Hopefully I feel better soon so I can take care of him now. Praying my stomach and gas heal quickly so i can start to get more nutrients down, bcz

Feeling Better!

by beachgirl on 04-27-2013 at 08:16 PM
I just had it SX 4 days ago and wanted to thank everyone for your well wishes!! It was painful but thebworst is getting rid of the gas that the surgeon pumps into your Abdominal cavity because it causes a lot of bloating and major discomfort! The only way to get rid of it was to get up and walk and walk which isn't exactly what you feel like doing when ur pumped full of meds! On top of all, I had nonstop nausea which was pretty wicked. So I came home on the 2nd day feeling pretty crappy. But I must
