I'm flying in to San Diego for surgery in Tijuana ... anyone else going to be in the area? I'm just looking for support...I'm having a hard time getting my family on board with my life change. ..but I'm going thru with it regardless

K I'm 2 weeks post op and I went to the bathroom this Morning and there is blood in my stool. I've been eating lots of fruit smoothies. .other than that I can't figure out why this happened.. can any one shed some light?

I was sleeved 3\21 and I agree that it's just learning how to figure out how much the sleeve can take. I do get discomfort when I eat fast or too much food. I used to think about food 24/7 and now I need to remind myself to eat. My daily goals are my protein and water quotas. Not drinking while eating and waiting to drink is hard...one day at a time.

Sleeved 3/21 ... getting ready to start hitting the gym and my hour zumba class next week... take my real estate state exam tomorrow...can't wait for my life on the other side :-) life is good! !!

I totally miss my coffee too! I was sleeved 3/21 and feel great. I feel like I'm ready to reintroduce it into my new lifestyle. ..thanks for posting

Yeah I don't think your alone at all. In was sleeved on 3/21 and today I got really light headed and dizzy so I decided to stop working in the yard. I have tried to increase my water intake and see how I feel after that. Keep us posted!

I'm a week out today and just now getting to take shakes and pureed food. I don't feel like I'm getting enough protein or water. I.drink as much as I can and shoot for 2 protein shakes a day but since I can't have real food I need to know What I need to eat to get enough nutrients. Any suggestions?

Just wanted to say good luck to everyone on this journey. Its crazy..goes really fast...and it changes your life almost instantly. Had surgery on Friday...did a half day at work today and feel like I'll be 100% by tomorrow. I don't even feel hungry and am enjoying my liquids. Keeping a positive attitude. ... that's what has given me strength thru all of this. Good luck !

Just wanted to share how happy I am with my hospital my staff and the way I feel... everything is better than what I expected. So glad to be on the other side !

It's finally almost here. I will really believe it and get anxious tonight after work and my last work out for a while. Any thing I should know going in?

Hi everyone... just wanted to let everyone know that I am out of surgery and recovering. Pain level is about a 4 out of 10. Hospital Angeles in tj it's beautiful staff is amazing...no regrets . No nausea or vomiting... it's really better than what I had ever imagined. Thanks again for everyone's support and posts.. .

Hey all ! Day one post op ....feel so super good ! Loving every minute . Surgery was simple and slept really good night one. Leave back to California tomorrow

Don't forget that there is a clothes sharing part of this app. I checked into it and you can sell or exchange them check it out. It might also make you feel better if you donate them to a thrift store on r a women's shelter... just a thought. Good luck !

I am getting super anxious. ..just want to calm down and focus. ..pack and get some sleep tonight.

Jmoore. .. how are you doing? R u getting excited

Hi Carmen..... At least your fiance supports you. I have heard that Jerusalem is just a clinic. Do you have to stay in a hotel or at the facility? Mine is a huge hospital. .. and they pick me up at San Diego airport then drive me to the hospital then me and my guest stay in a suite at the hospital then take me back to the airport. So Maybe do some more looking into Jerusalem,... try posting it and wait for responses. I'll keep. U up to date with me and my journey. I would love to!

Crazyjaney you are on my mind as well.... hope you are doing well post surgery... let us know how you are doing.. cant wait to hear a follow up story. Keep us posted.
