You can do it!!! THIS IS THE BEST JOURNEY YOU ARE GOING ON!!!

Nikki

hi there and WELCOME!! I love spicy food soooo I mix some cottage cheese with pasta sauce and add chili flakes. I heat it in the microwave and top with a little parm cheese. Mix and enjoy.Mmmmm

Nikki

Yes it will get much easier. I remember someone telling me that. I was like " I doubt it" Let me tell you it does. Right after surgery you don't want to eat. Your body is sore and you are having to recover, the last thing your really want to do is eat. I know it sounds funny but hang in there.

Nikki

Good luck!!! You are entering into an amazing new life decision and it will change you forever... You might be in a little pain in the beginning, but just wait it only gets BETTER!!

Take care

Nikki

i found that drinking warm liquids went down way.... better. I still have a tough time with cold drinks in the am.

Good Luck

Nikki

You will be fine. Try to have some "me" time and put all your positive thoughts forward. This is all very positive for "you". Just think, by next year or even sooner you will have a totally different outlook on life. I never had any pain prior to my surgery but make sure your MD is well aware of your needs. You know your body better than anyone else!!!

Take care

Nikki

Wow! You look amazing. It's so nice when people keep us updated on their progress. I am only 3 weeks out and am super excited about this journey. Thanks for the great Blog

Take care,

Nikki

I wish you lots of luck with your journey. I was sleeved on Sept.2 in Tijuana and am super happy with my decision.

please go back to your MD. It sounds terrible. There might be something wrong. Ask them to do another x-ray or another bariem swallow to rule out an leaks.

Take care

Nikki

i totally agree with your blog. I am a nurse and I feel like people are looking at me thinking....Hmmmm... I don't really want to take health advise from her. I'm not sure why we do this to ourselves? I get my sleeve in 5 days and I am getting a little nervous. Keep blogging, I really enjoy the updates.

Hi there. I am going to Tijuana Mexico on Sept 1. I am sooo excited to have my surgery. I live in Canada and my only option (other than paying 18000 here) is going to Mexico. I have spoken to several people who went south to have their surgery done and are very happy with their results. It you have any questions, don't be scarred to ask. Good Luck on your decision!!!

Nikki

You are doing so well!!! Great Job. Great advise about keeping on top of the pain meds.

You sound like you are doing great!!!!

I am about a week into my two week pre-op diet of liquids. I also miss food. I have been having a lot of tomato soup. I am trying to keep my eye on the prize. It's tough....lol.. I'm with ya

Awsome job!! I can't wait for my boobies to shrink. They practically choke me at night ..lol

Good luck in school!!! I look forward to your next blog

My Doctor is also very strict. I will be on only clear fluid for one week and then full fluids for another week, Only then can I have jello and soups. All Doctors are different. I know it seems painful but the longer you let your stomach heal the better off you will be. Good Luck

i am sooo sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

That IS a GREAT idea about the mini raviolis. I will have to remember that when it is my time.

I loved your blog. I am starting my pre-op liquid diet tomorrow. I have a very CRAZY 5 year old to keep up to. I'll think of you if I want to kill... lol

have a very happy and healthy year!!

great Job!!!!!

Wow!!! You look fantastic. It totally shows in your body, how much weight you have lost. Great Work!

I totally agree, I have been in this site for over a month and don't have my surgery until Sept.2. I LOVE reading all the great stories of the up and coming. I thank everyone who has the courage to write about their journey.

I'm glad you are ok! Good luck in school...
