I can NOT believe I had my surgery a month ago today. I didn’t weigh in today but I weighed yesterday at my doctor’s office and she was so impressed at my thirty pound weight loss in a month! She looked at my wounds and said they looked good with no infection. I talked to …
3 1/2 weeks Post-Op
This morning I weighed in at 335.8 and have lost over 30 pounds since I left for Mexico and weighed 366 pounds. I’m still having difficulty with food getting stuck in my esophagus and hoping that will end soon. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/JoWMoOpRFy0
Three Weeks Post-op
Hard to believe I had surgery three weeks ago today. This morning I weighed 337 and I have lost 29 pounds since I left for Mexico. HW 389, SW 366, CW 337. I am still having difficulties with food not going down all the way. It seems to get stuck in my esophagus any time …
Minor set-back…
Two weeks post-op, I was given the green light to have certain foods and pureed soups and vegetables. Several days ago, I had a scrambled egg that didn’t go down and seemed to get stuck in my throat for almost two days. Yesterday afternoon it happened again with soup with pureed broccoli in it. It …
The Scrambled Egg
On Tuesday, March 15, I had my first scrambled egg. Little did I know, the scrambled egg would last me a week. It got stuck in my throat and wouldn’t go down. After almost two days it finally went down. I hope this doesn’t happen again.

One week post-op
Today, I went to my primary care doctor for a check up and I weighed 349.2. It is so nice to move the scale out of the 350+ section and down to the 300+ section! The doctor was pleased with my results but said sutures aren’t ready to come out yet. She wrote a prescription …

Surgery went well
Yesterday was my surgery and all went well. I got the sleeve and they removed 75 percent of my stomach at the Vesuvius Center of Pompeii Surgical Group. Today, I am getting the leak test done. The stuff you drink tastes terrible but it’s part of the process and very important to make sure there …
