    Hello Nervia,
    Just joining the over 300lbs. Need to make a group Over 400 lbs. It has been some time since I have weighed 300lbs. I am so excited about this process. I cheer at every ounce I lose before my surgery. Just a while ago, I was at 430. using my scale at home. Now, my scale is of no use to me. It tops at 440 lbs. I would like to learn from everyone here staring with you Nervia. I am sure, I will read the entire group of messages. Learning how to navigate the site.

    Tomorrow's the big day! I have you in my thoughts and prayers and I know you'll be fine! Get up and moving as much as you can after the surgery, it helps the gas move out of your system and that can be an issue. Plus drink lots of water or ice chips...you don't want to get dehydrated. Post and let us know how you're doing when you feel up to it.

    Good Morning looks like you are going to be in TJ the same week my other sleeve sister will be there. I might be going to TJ as her escort for the 15th of Sept. I'm still in process in making arrangements for my daughter when I will be in TJ, because school will be started by then. Other then that I should be a ok for TJ.
    I have to say that Doctor Almanza and all the staff are wonderful, very caring and Loving people.
    The setting might freak you out if you are a Princess but if you are a Trouper you will be A ok.
    The operating room and where you recover are totally hospital clean all the time. Everyone is always gowned up, very up on hygiene.
    I really enjoyed my time in TJ I sure gave them a run for their money. All in good fun though I'm sure if they she me rolling up there with my other sleeve sister it is going to be good relaxing fun. Everyone needs that after the surgery we are or have gone through. My recovery was very fast to be honest I was up and walking around hours after surgery. I was helping my other sleeve sister's and brother's that didn't have that much energy as me.
    Well I could go on and on and on because thats what I like to do talk talk talk ha ha.If you what to chat some more give me a HHHAAAALLLLEEEERRRR Sister. Take Care, Peace be with You and God Bless.

    Cheers

Feeling Good!!

by Nervia on 01-17-2014 at 02:04 AM
Well, I had my surgery on 10/01/2013 and as of today I am down 63 pounds! I guess I've experienced a couple of stalls along the way. I have had a couple of weeks where the scale refused to move, but during that time inches came off. I haven't really been very good at integrating real food into my daily eating plan. Even though I've gone through the stages, I find that I am getting most of my protein from shakes and bars. On the days I try to actually eat my protein, I find that I don't get enough

One Week Out

by Nervia on 10-09-2013 at 05:01 AM
Hi everybody! I have completed my first week with no major problems. I'm still struggling to get in all my liquids, but I'm getting better. I wish I had spent more time getting used to the sip, sip , sip concept before surgery. But alas, we can't really turn the clock back, so I'll just continue to try doing better going forward. I know the pitfalls of not getting enough fluids, and I know I can't afford to get dehydrated, I'll let that be my motivation! I have really had no problems, to speak of.

Surgery Complete!!

by Nervia on 10-06-2013 at 03:24 AM
Hi everybody! My surgery was on 10/01 and everything went off without a hitch! I had an uneventful trip to TJ and met a group of wonderful people at the airport, waiting for the shuttle. We all started conversing right away and grew closer and closer as time wore on. My sister went along with me and I'm very glad she did, she was definitely a joy to have along and she fit right in with the group. She even managed to get in some of her " mother hen" skills with the other "Sleevers".

New Date...

by Nervia on 09-06-2013 at 08:50 AM
I was having issues last time I posted. Well to avoid having to change flights, vacation from work, etc. I changed my date to Oct 1. I am just as excited and determined to get this done as before. I checked with my PCP and my T4 levels are in the normal range (1.4) so I should have no problems there. I will be on the pre- op liquid for ten days to shrink my liver and intend to follow it to the max, I can't afford to get to Mexico and be told I can't have the surgery done because I couldn't follow

Hoping I Meet the Deadlines!

by Nervia on 08-30-2013 at 01:15 AM
I have been having issues acquiring my passport...they didn't accept my birth certificate in card form for the passport. When I applied for my paper copy they wouldn't accept the online application because the name on my drivers license was different! I went to the office in person, expecting to have problems, and it was a piece of cake! Have an appointment tomorrow for passport application and just pray that it comes back in time....spending extra to have it expedited by one of the online services
