3 days post op with Dr Kelly and super happy! I was always wanting pictures so here are some. I'll get some of incisions etc later. I want to keep updated with my changing shape too.

I love Dr Kelly and Florence/Oasis! God has blessed me!

Maybe you can't see them because I linked them from my iPhone? Calling all tech people lol.

 

I'll be honest, when I first woke up the nausea was overwhelming. I didn't even ask for pain medicine until the next day, just lots of Zofran.

 

I can't believe how well I feel 3 days after surgery. Day 1 was like what have I done. Day 2 was like hey it's not so bad and day 3 I'm wanting to fly home to my kiddos. I'm certainly enjoying the hotel though!

 

Wait, technically it's only been 48 hours....I came out Monday about this time :)

Thank you! It's freakin comfy too :D

 

Here is your support person's bed. It's actually quite big and the drawers are filled with blankets and pillows. The rooms are big.

This is the marble lobby. The cafeteria view actually. The hospital reminds me of a tropical 3 star married a small time hospital :D

And this is my mom eating shrimp tacos at the Lucerna while I enjoyed the homemade broth. It is definitely homemade. I feel free from food prison, it really didn't bother me! null_zpsa84d8e37.jpg

I love Maxi-dresses. They're cute, comfy, and forgiving.

Thank you! I just want people to not be afraid regardless of what experienced surgeon you use. I was very, very afraid of everything from the flight, anesthesia, hospital, surgery, hotel, Tijuana.....you name it I was scared!

 

I want to sing from the mountain tops!! :D I want to help others.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
