Hi thank you so much. I just followed my doctor & nutritionists guidelines to the T. I also work with a great personal trainer once a week as well as going to the gym4-5 times a week. The elliptical machine is the best machine ever. If I can't get to the gym I always make sure that I do at least a mile walk with some little 2lbs weights right now or work out to some great workout videos that I have and or just put on my music on from my iPhone & doing dancing which has been great.

So far so good at 2 weeks post-op! I'm eating pureed foods' date=' which is way better than the all liquid diet. I also started going back to the gym and I have more energy. I was sleeved at NYP - surgeon Dr. Bessler. He and his team were amazing![/quote']
Glad to hear all Is well so far. I was told I couldn't start purée until I was a month out. But also know that you can go at your own speed as well especially when going from stage to stage because if you don't feel ready you have to listen to yourself. I didn't feel comfortable starting the purée Til almost 1 1/2 months-2months post op because I was so nervous. I had my surgery with dr Thomas Cerabona at Westchester medical center in Valhalla ny. I love my surgeon he is the best along with dr kaul.

Before I had my surgery last year I also had some symptoms to when I went to the pulmonary doctor (lung doc) & he told me I should go & do a sleep study test to see. Everything worked out good I had it but it was so mild I didn't need to take care of it or need medicine. Ask your doctor about getting a sleep study test done. Make sure you have every area covered & checked out to make sure your healthy enough for surgey.

Washington Heights/Inwood sleever! I'd love to get in on a meet up. Was sleeved June 12th. Christina I also can't find you on Facebook.< /div>Congrats on being sleeved. How are you doing & feeling? I have fb as well. I'm under Christina Ci or my email is sweetchunkygirl2183@gmail.com
Christina I can't find you on fb for some reason. What am I doing wrongI'm having trouble finding her too
My email is sweetchunkygirl2183@gmail.com
Oh and I want to add you guys! Also although I did tell close friends and family' date=' I never say anything on fb about the surgery. I'll probably end up eventually but for now ( I guess until after I'm all "skinny and hot".) I just basically say I'm going to diet and exercise and I have a goal.[/quote']That's what I was telling people for the first 6months. Once I hit my 6month mark & hit the 100 mark I was then at that point I was ready & felt safe to tell the world I did such an amazing thing. It's when your ready & you feel comfortable is the right time to say something no matter when it is.
Hi Christina I'm a Christina also who had the sleeve. I don't live in the Bronx but I'm not far at all from there
Yes I'm on the thyroid medicine still because of a couple of reasons. 1. Being that it runs in my family. 2. I've only been on it 2 years or so since my levels got a little crazy & 3. When they found that I had a few bumps/nodules on my thyroid gland. When I first started the sythroid I was on it for 75mg or mcg. I was told they if my nodules didn't shrink enough before survey I would have to post pone my weightless procedure until that was fixed. Lucky they did shrink for me to have my nov 1st 2012 weightloss surgery. I was still on the 75mg or mcg until my 3month checkup & that's where they lowered it to 50. My next thyroid checkup isn't until October some time. I hope by then I'm lowered to 25. Bc I've been hearing once your on sythroid your on it for a long time
Way to do it. Keep it up. you are looking good! AinsleeThanks ainsleet & you too.
