Holidays and the New Year
Jan 17, 2015
I was a little scared to go home for the holidays and be with my huge and wonderful Mexican family, they always make a feast out of everything and now we were celebrating the holidays and me going home, and celebrating my successful recovery with food... For God's sake, lol!!!! I behaved very well during my vacation and I actually cooked for them but I was not able to eat any of my food or their food, I though temptation was going to be hard, but I realized my will power is stronger, I was always weak around potatoes chips and this time I was the one who conquered my cravings... I'm glad to inform you that during my 2 week vacation back home I lost 14 lbs... I came home scared to get on the scale and when I did the feeling was amazing... Now that the new year is here I'm more motivated than before to work out and continue losing, I have several trips this year and my best friend's wedding and I'm determined to rock my dress....
29 days Post Op - Weight GAIN
Dec 16, 2014
It is normal to gain weight before 1 more post op?
I am a revision and as of today December 16th, 2014 I've lost 16.6 pounds (but on 12/9/14 I was on 19 less) so I gained almost 3 lbs in a week. I am eating my 60 grams of protein, I am eating my 2-4 oz. of grilled chicken or salmon, 1-2oz of vegetables, I’m not eating sugar, fruits, flour, anything that I am not supposed to, so now I am concern that I am gaining weight, is this normal? Please help because I am so disappointed and asking myself if I did the right thing this time.
11/18/14 Surgery Day 324 lbs
12/4/14 14 days post op 310.6 lbs
12/9/14 22 days post op 305.6 lbs
12/16/14 29 days post op 308.0 lbs
Dissapointed
Dec 04, 2014
Today I had my 3 week appointment (technically 2 1/2 weeks) and the first 6 days I lost 10 pounds, and now from day 6 to day 17 (11 Days) I only lost 4 pounds. I've been in a liquid diet since my surgery day (11/18/14) so I assumed I was going to lose more weight. Is this normal?
CRAZY ITCHY
Nov 27, 2014
I want to claw off my tummy!!, I've been itchy since day five but yesterday and today have been unbearable. All of my 4 incisions are red around it and bumpy, and they itch like a mo%€$ f^¥€£ . Could I be having an allergic reaction of the glue???i am 9 days post op. There no glue where the drain was and that the only incision that is not red.. Any suggestions??
Drain out
Nov 24, 2014
Had an appointment with my Dr's nurse and she removed my drain, let me tell you that about 70% of my pain went away once the drain was out. Also I had a weight in and I'm 10 lbs lighter! Yayyy.. Still have 2 more weeks of liquid diet.
Had a Revision
Nov 23, 2014
Dear friends, it's been a while since I updated, after getting disappointed and regaining some of my weight back got a revision on 11/18/14, this time it was a little bit more painful but I'm sure it's been worth it. I have my 1 week follow up tomorrow, I'll post then
9 month follow up
Jun 21, 2007
I am already 9 months out of surgery and it has been the best and happiest days of my entire life.. I don't feel pain, I actually never felt the pain I was expected and I am 102 lbs thinner. hahahaa.... I still want to lose another 100lbs but it will take time, I think one more year.. But that is fine, as long as I dont gain any weight everything its GOODDDD!! I went from size 30 - 32 to size 24 - 22 in 9 months.. I have some jeans size 24 and they are loose, and I have some 22 and they are tight, so, I think I am size 23, but I don't think they carry size 23.. anyways... on my 6 month follow up, I told you I had developed allergies, well, let me tell you, I did not... Actually it was my CPAP machine for my sleep apnea.. I was using 15 of pressure and now I am using 9, still high but I think I still need to use it, sometimes I don't use it and I wake up in the middle of the night to put it on..so I don't know if I wake up because I'm worried that I don't have it on or becuase I really need it..
Ok, I have to go because I am so sleepy.
I wll update you later.
6 months Post Op

6 month post-op
Mar 20, 2007
Hi everyone.. I just want to let you know that today is my 6 month anniversary. Today I am 6 month post – op. I don’t know how much I have lost because in my scale is EVIL, and I decided not to weight there anymore.. hahahaha…. But today I have my 6 month follow up @ 3pm, so I will be updating later tonight with the new numbers.. I am not very excited about my 6 month follow up because I know I did not accomplished my goal, but, there is nothing I can do now, I have to work harder for the next 3 months.. Thanks a lot for all your support, I really appreciate it.
What is wrong???
Feb 26, 2007
I am sad.. I’m disappointed and… SAD!!! You know, I set up goals for me, and 2 of my goals were to lose 50 lbs for my first 3 months and then 100 lbs for my first 6 months, after that I was going to take it slow... But I have failed... I only accomplished my first goal, I did lose the 50 lbs for my first 3 months, but after that I just stopped losing weight... Well, I did not stop and I did not lose that much. I am 22 days away to my 6th month anniversary and I have lost only 19 lbs in 2 months and 9 days... What is going on? I just don’t get it. I am doing everything right, taking my vitamins, my protein, exercising, eating healthy (I’m not eating out, I am cooking with NO FAT) eating veggies and fruits, eating small portion of 3 to 4 oz. drinking my water… What else can I do? I am saddddd!!!!!!!!
