Teenee Me

Sleeved on 10/8 Highest weight 265 Starting weight 256 After preop diet 245 Current weight 219 Feeling great. Only issue is tummy muscle pain, it's better but still there. Love my sleeve!

My surgeon is Dr. Julio Rivera. He was awesome. My surgery was 2 weeks ago. He was highly recommended by my PCP. I didn't research any further because when I interviewed him I felt very confident about my decision. My surgery was at Baylor Hospital in Grapevine. There's another surgeon at that office, Dr. Matin. I've also heard great things about him.

I've been cooking for my family almost every day since returning from the hospital 8 days ago. I even sit at the table with them while they eat. I drink water or protein and we chat. I have to say that while it's not easy, they feel like our family dynamic is the same. Eventually I'll be able eat some of what they're eating. For now I think of it as a small sacrifice for a healthier me. Hang in there. It will get better.

My surgery was in the 8th. I'm struggling getting fluids and protein. I'm not walking a whole lot because I'm feeling weak. But everyday is getting better. Only pain is from largest incision near my belly button. Sort of a muscle stretching pain but only when I get up or try to walk fast. I haven't had pain meds since leaving the hospital.

Are you still on blood thinner injections? That could also cause a little vaginal bleeding after sex.

Add me too, please? Crismorelos@aol.com

I just added an actual picture of myself. Eeeeeeek!

I'm at the hospital for a pre-op appointment now. Tuesday is just around the corner!!

Congratulations!

My doc is telling me 6 weeks and since I'll get paid 100% while on short term disability, I'm taking the time off. I figure this will give me the chance to get used to my new eating and allow me to spend time with my kids. I work long hours normally.

You've got this! Best wishes for a speedy recovery. Keep us posted.

Oct 8th! So ready!

10/8. So ready!

Yay! I'm right behind you on the 8th.
