Mostly Protein Drinks, Soup & maybe scrambled egg in morning. It's taking me awhile to tolerate solids. I'm having to learn when to stop, to chew very well and to go SLOW. I've over-done it a few times...it's an on-going set of lessons. I'm basically learning my limits. If I eat too much, too fast or have advanced my diet too quickly, pain, nausea & vomiting results. Pretty good deterrent! BTW- no probs with work:) I took 2weeks off.

Congrats JC:) My update: sleeved 7/8; beginning wgt 307... Current 280. Best wishes to you for your success!!!

Hope all goes well. Mine went off w/o hitch except language barrier, but even that was manageable.

All went well; traveling home with flight problems (thank you American Airline).... We had to drive the last leg from Dallas. Just sore and having difficulties coming up with clear liquid foods while on the road. But, I'll be home with my kids in the morning & I'm having quality alone time with my husband:)

Thank you & I will:)

Waiting for the nurse to start my IV this morning. Things are about to start happening:)

Waiting for the nurse to start my IV this morning. Things are about to start happening????

Thanks:) The nerves are kicking in... On my way to New Orleans airport in the rain. I'll let y'all know how it goes????

Monday 7/8 is the BIG day. I'm up early tomorrow.... Have an early flight out of New Orleans to El Paso then on to Juarez. Ready to change my life:)

Yay:)

My sleeve surgery is Monday 7/8 (the day after my Bday).... Very nervous. I know this will vastly improve my life, but it's scary! My husband supports me, but I find that if I mention bariatric surgery to others, they freak out. I've resolved to not mention the surgery to anyone else.

Okay Mississippi ladies... I must say I'm starting to get a little nervous... I fly out Sunday 7/7 (my Bday) & have the sleeve surgery on Monday. It's about to happen!!! I know it will vastly improve my life, but it's scary!

July 8!!!!! Officially one week:)

Wow! Hope they gave you a 2 for 1 deal ☺... Where are you going for your surgery? I'm going to Juarez- Star Medica.

It will be here before you know it! And just think about it, you can learn from all our mistakes:) I'm only telling my closest people about this; so, I'm glad I ran across this board for support. Definitely, let's support each other... especially since we are both on the Coast and both RNs:) My birthday is 7/7 & my surgery is 7/8... This is my Bday present to myself (the gift of Health and a better quality of life for me and my family) Keep in touch!!! - Brenda

???? Welcome to the skinny sleever RN club. (That is if you chose the sleeve.) ☺

I'm in Gulfport, and scheduled for July 8 in Mexico with Dr. Rodriguez. I'll mention that I'm a RN and one of my doctor friends recommended Dr. Rodriguez. I've done my due diligence and feel 100% comfortable with my choice. I'll be having gastric sleeve & currently I'm on my 2week pre-op diet.

My surgery is scheduled for July 8th with Dr. Rodriguez in Juarez.... Anyone else? Any other Rodriguez patients?

July 8th in Juarez, Mexico at Star Medica Embassy Hospital.... Paying $6,800 + $900 airfare

My doctor determines the pre-op diet based on the BMI. The more you have to lose; the longer the pre-op diet.
