Good to hear that you are doing better, Melly! Hope that you are doing well with your baby boy, that has to be tough when he wants his mommy to hold him and such. Take care and keep on napping :)

I am scheduled for August 10 in Mexico with Dr Alvarez . I am nervous this week.

Hi daddy. I am a August 10th sleever too. Do you know what hospital you will be at, or are you even in Tijuana?

So happy that we are getting almost completely good reports for those already sleeved! Other than dealing with pain and uncomfortable periods everyone seems to be doing very well! I hope we hear from all the others soon. I am continuing to pray for those already done and those up next!

I start my travels Wednesday, first to meet up with my mom and Thursday on the plane. All the reports are making me feel better. I know there will be times after surgery that will be hard, but it's going to be worth it to prolong our lives and live life more fully!

Thank you all for being here it means so much to share the same experience with others. While family and friends are understanding and supportive they have no idea what we are all experiencing.

My experience.....

I had so many fears. Needles, surgery wouldn't happen, I would have to stare at those bright surgery lights, the meds wouldn't work. You name it I had it. None of it came true. The blood took two minutes and I did not even feel a pinch. The IV was so simple. Lay there and get comfy Kjarlune we will come get you soon. When they did it was a simple transfer to a moving bed...we are going to give you something to relax now...can you feel it....yep, and I was out...I do not even recall being wheeled out of the room. Woke up in my bed,after surgery asking my bf why they didnt do the surgery...but they had...I have had bowel pains worse than this surgery...the only downside was I got a cold...well hello I was on liquids for a month....

So for those waiting and fearing.....let it go...this part is a cake walk....hugs..

Hi daddy. I am a August 10th sleever too. Do you know what hospital you will be at, or are you even in Tijuana?

My doctor is Dr. Guillermo Alvarez in Piedras Negras, MX (across from Eagle Pass , TX). I hope you have great surgery.

Today is the day. Driving from LA to Tijuana now -- 134 miles to go.

This scripture was the focus of my devotion today! :)

"For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us." (Romans 8:18)

Please keep me in your prayers. May God be with everyone who is having surgery today or is recovering from surgery.

Don't know what I would do without you guys!

I am officially sleeved and I am cleared to sip on Clear Liquids. I am sore but have walked the halls a couple of times.. It seems to ease the soreness. I'm not really hungry.. But I am sipping. Thanks for all the prayers. I hope the rest of the August 6 sleevers are doing well and praying for the one going in today..... Talk to y'all soon!!*shan*

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
