It almost 5am and as usual, I cannot sleep because I slept too much during the day. I'm happy to report that my surgery went fine. Each time I walk by the hospital chapel, I cry thanking God for this new opportunity. I don't remember waking up from surgery, the dr explained they had to use a lot of anestecia because the fat from my belly was absorbing it fast. Whatever that means. All I know is that I was so high when I woke up in my room at night time. I barely could talk, move and was feeling no pain at all. All night I was so thirsty, those hours were endless, but the next morning we had a leak test and finally I could have water. I felt discomfort with every sip, but nothing horrible. Whenever I'd go walk I'd get nauseous, but it has gotten better. Today, hopefully, I can go to the hotel. I don't like the teas or juices. I just loved the chicken broth I had today. I'm a bit scare about the Fly back, it's 3 hours to get to Dallas and another 3 to get to Tampa. But I already overcame the biggest fear, I can now do anything. I'm happy! Thank you Jesus! Thank you all who prayed for me!

I'm in puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Hopefully, and if everything goes well, in less that 12 hours I will have the VSG. I'm very nervous. It is a huge change. I'm afraid of dying, not for me, but for those I love. I would never want to make my mom or sister suffer, but I have deprived them of a life with me because I'm always depress in my house, or of feeling ashamed of my weight. I know recovery will be painful, but I hope and pray to God this goes well and I can handle everything with strength and peace. I know once I'm awake from surgery, it won't mean everything is perfect. I already had a few surgeries in the past and complications happened about 2 weeks after. So whomever is reading this and believe in the power of prayer, please send some this way. I will forever thank you. I'm having this surgery because I'm tired of seeing the best years of my life go by, and I don't do nothing about it. I'm tired of all the struggles, I'm afraid of my diabetics getting worse, I'm tired of being tired, feeling hopeless in a room isolating myself. I've suffer several emotional disorders due to my obesity and my fear of being seen like this. But is time to change my life and embrace this new opportunity. I've decided to do this journal to keep track of all the changes. I want this to be about me. I'm doing this for me but also for my family because I want to give them the best of me, and I never want to forget that they were my most important motivation. This is one of the hardes decisions I have made in my life, there is nothing easy about this surgery. I will have to find the strength to say goodbye forever to many foods that were nothing but addictive and unhealthy. I have to to this the right time this time.

So glad to know your surgery went well and you are doing better everyday.

Hi all, my cw is 270 lbs, I want to lose about 120 pounds, add my in myfitnesspal honeybee165 to share this journey together

What would you do different if you could do it all over again?

Hi, my gf and i are very concern because we are doing the pre-op liquid diet and we already feel we barelly have energy, so we are wondering what can we take for energy after surgery because im sure by then, we will have even less energy and after 5 days over there we will have to take 2 planes to cme back home. how are we gonna do this without passsing out ? Those who have had surgery in another city or had to drive hours to the clinic or went to Mexico, what did u do for energy? Thanks !

Sweety I'm so sorry u feeling this way and with no support at home. That just makes it so much harder. Just remember you have our support, whatever you decide. You aren't alone. If u want to text send me a private message. Hugs!!

How many days did you do you pre-op diet, what kind of diet was and how big were you at the time?

I was wondering the same, who knows how bad it is, I've mixed emotions. Embarrassment and then also hoping to FART AWAY

Did you wear a bra during the surgery? Cus I feel so anxious without my bra... I think is easier to let go of 75% of my stomach than of my bra :/

Hey my sleever brothers and sisters from December, if you want to add me to myfitnesspal, my user name is honeybee165, I will start posting my pre-op diet from today on and would like to have your suppor

So jealous. Mine are huge Triple D, I only take my bra off to shower.

Oh noooooooooo they wil have to take it off when I'm passed out... And no panties? Are you kidding me? Now I have something else to worry about. Lol

How do you know you are ready to have the surgery? Are all the doubts and nervousness normal? I wonder if I will be able to make it, you know the liquid diet and the after diet that follows up.... I keep doubting myself, my willpower, is this normal?

How soon after surgery did you have sex? My other half is also a bit overweight, so I'm afraid To end up complicating my surgery if I have sex. After all, sex is not that simple between overweight people, or is just me who thinks this way? Lol

You horny kids

Same here, I literally had to ask my gf to take my iPad from me and not give it back for an hour lol

Those who have had surgery in Mexico, what questions do you think are crucial to ask your doctor before coming back? Thanks

Part of being obese is that All my body hurts when I've sex, and I'm not an acrobat or anything like it. But just the lightly belly bending, the soreness of the shoulders, the position of the legs lol and is not like my lover is rough or anything, but I guess I won't be having sex for a long time cus as pleasurable as it can be, it always hurt :/

Best of luck I'm soooo nervous. But know we will do great!

I'm having my surgery with Dr joya and wanted to know who else was having surgery around this day so we could support each other, share our victories and see how it goes for all of us who choose this on December.

Mine is December 5th.... I've been keeping myself busy absorbing everything I can find about this surgery and going OCD about it, so I don't have much time to worry, but when I do, I can't believe I am actually doing It. I'm nervous, have thought even about making a living will, and then at other times I feel okay... Lol

I'm planning to eat turkey too and a bit of the other sides. Ad then get back on the diet. Good luck and have a happy thanksgiving

I don't notice the hotel change, I've been so nervous that didn't even pay attention to that. Thanks for pointing it out, I did get a message saying our room was ocean-view Ad you have a friend here too... Big hugs hon!
