Surgery in Cancun May 7th!!

I am getting the sleeve surgery with Dr. Verboonen at the Galenia Hospital in Cancun. :ohmy: It is exciting and the reality of it all is starting to sink in. Would love to hear from anyone who has had surgery there or who is planning on surgery around the same time. Open to any comments or tips on pre or post surgery. Thanks for being here.:cursing: Brenda

Came through the Sleeve! May 7th in Cancun

I came through and am so glad to be on the other side! Each day I feel a little better. It will be nice to get to the next phase of the food but hey I'm thrilled to be doing so well. I feel much better than before the surgery, just a little low energy at times and some bloating which is to be expected. If it is to be, It is up to me!
 

So far, so good!

It has been almost a month since surgery. I have lost about 34 lbs, (includes pre-op diet). I feel so much better. It's work but at least I know it can be done. There is such great support on here and I am so grateful to be a month out and looking forward to more good things!!!!! No regrets here, just want to lose lose lose (weight) and gain gain gain :001_huh:gain freedom to live life!!!!!!!:thumbup1: If it is to be, It is up to me!
 

Follow-up with Doctor

Went to the doctor today for a follow-up and results from blood work. He says I am doing great! Easy for him to say! LOL It isn't always easy but neither was eating then not eating, dieting then overeating etc. etc. My blood pressure is good, all my blood work showed improvement. I am 7 weeks out and have lost 41 pounds. I am eating more "real" foods but still getting in protein with protein shakes. So far no problems with solid foods. I am so glad to be this far along, the first few weeks were rough, but I lived to tell about them.:scared0:
 

Weighed Yesterday

I was stuck at the about the same weight for a few weeks :sad0:so I decided to wait at least 2 weeks to weigh again. And I am only going to weigh on the same scales (Publix). I weighed yesterday which was one day early and I had lost 8 lbs. WOOHOO! :thumbup:It seems like I stay right around the same weight then drop several lbs at once. Anyway I am feeling better, a little more energy and the food is going fairly well. I tolerate everything I have tried so far. Just working on eating slow enough and chew, chew, chew! Still not eating raw veggies and fruit except for bananas and mellon. It has been a learning process to order the right foods when going out to eat and to buy less food for at home. A lot of food goes to waste because it is hard to realize how little I really need to eat! The journey continues and I am still glad to be sleeved even if it isn't the "easy way out" like I used to think. LOL:wink0:
 

PS-11 Weeks Out

I have gone from 305 down to 255 including the pre-opt diet. My pre-opt diet began April 26th with surgery following on May 7th. I am happy with the 50 lbs weight loss in about a 3 month period. Very grateful to be on this journey!! If it is to be, It is up to me!
 

Feeling great!

I am feeling good and getting more in tune with the whole process. Big big change, don't drink when I eat, don't eat fast, chew 100 times etc. It is like learning to walk all over again. But I am so pleased with my progress so far and feel better than I have in a long time. Still get tired but that's what naps are for. Think I am down about 30 lbs. My clothes are all bagging, just call me the "Bag Lady"
 

Under 250 Lbs. Woo Hoo

I weighed 242 today and it has been 14 years since my weight has been under 250. It's not all roses but the weight loss sure is great! Down 63 lbs since starting on this journey on April 26, 2010. :thumbup1:
