Three weeks post and 14.6lbs lighter! I am only weighing once a week to have something to look forward to! Doing well on the mushies no nausea or anything (knock on wood) Losing between 4-5lbs a week of permenant weight loss is great. I am in this for the long haul so however long it takes, as long as it stays off..that's fine with me. This is a very humbling experience and I am blessed to be able to take this journey. All the best to everyone walking this road!

Dizziness and flight back home
divajksn replied to brazcan's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I did not have any pain going back home from Mexico. No dizziness either. You will be fine. To me airplan seats are uncomfortable anyway, but it was no more uncomfortable after surgery than before. Were loose sweats or pants and you should do great. All the best. Davida -
14 days post op and 10lbs down, I'll take that. Today is my two week Surgiversary and I must say I feel great. I honestly feel alot smaller than what the scale is saying..kind of wierd. I am grateful!

4 Weeks post op!! Horrible pain in my left rib area :(
divajksn replied to MommyTawnie's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi...I am definitely no expert as I am only 11 days post op. But, do you think maybe you moved to solids to quickly? I know every Dr. seems to vary slightly but I haven't heard of advancing to solids at only two weeks out. I am on full liquids until day 29 and then it's mushies/pureeded foods and then on to solids. Just a thought...again I am new also, but just thought I would add that maybe it's to soon for solids. All the best to you. Davida -
7 days post op. I just finished walking on the treadmill, so I am feeling pretty much back to normal. I lost 5lbs since the surgery. I haven't really felt "full" yet, but I guess I will feel it more once I advance to full liquids. Thanks to all of you for your support on this awesome journey!

IT'S FINALLY MY TURN...I BELIEVE IN THE SLEEVE
divajksn posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hello, Sleeve sisters and brothers. Well it is finally my turn, I have been lurking the boards gaining encourgement and cheering on all those that have gone before me. I am literally sitting here in Tijauna, Mexico at florence Hospital. Dr Ramos Kelly is my surgeon and so far everything is wonderful and the people are so nice. The facility is a nice and clean. Some of the nurses speak english some don't but there is always one that speaks with the one's that don't. My sleeve sister Kim Lemke is getting her surgery as we speak and I am next. I am strangly calm and I think it is because I have gone through every emotion in the book and as I sit here with the IV in my arm, what else can I do. I have to do it now. Pray for Kim and me as we journey to the winners side. We are all in this together. See you guys soon. I will update as soon as I can. Peace & Blessings, Davida -
My date is fast approaching
divajksn commented on NikkiRose's blog entry in It's a New Dawn, It's a New Day
Congratulations on your date..I am a true newbie, so I cannot give a real opinion yet. I can say that the first/second night out of surgery was rough for me. I threw up blood and it scared me. But I am feeling good today at three days post op. I will keep you posted on my progress and please do the same! Davida -
Thanks to all for your prayers..I am three days post op and know one could have told me three days ago that I would have just left from shopping in downtown /Tijuana. I am feeling a LOT better and will be flying home tomorrow. Thanks sisters for the support and love. I will keep you all posted!

Well I did it...I am on the other side of the game. Wow..what a ride. I will say to all coming this way, in my opinion the first/second night was rough. I threw up blood and it scared the hell out of me. At that moment I couldn't see myself feeling like I do now. I feel good, I am drinking water,gatorade and jello. Thanks to my sleeve family for all your prayers!
