October 15, 2014 is the Day my Life Will Change Forever and Need All the Support I Can Get.... - Orlando, FL

Thought I old give an update as for why I have not been on here lately. As a lot of you know when I had my gastric sleeve done, I had a set back and while they were running test found a mass on my ovaries. Well it end up being cancer. My surgery was on Dec. 28th. The type of cancer I have is called clear cell carcinoma of the ovary. . Doctor said I was very fortunate(I told him no it is the power of prayer not fortunate) to have this type of cancer because it is curable. They were able to get all the cancer however I will need 6 weeks of chemo to make sure if the left any micro particulars this would kill it. I half to say I feel pretty good to just had major surgery little over a week ago. I am just sick of being sick, just sitting here unable to do much. I know I will get better it will just take time. OK now onto my Gastric sleeve review. My surgery was Oct. 15, 2014. The time of my surgery I weighed 250, I weighed today and down to 209 yea!!!!!! I look at myself and can't believe I have lost 41 pounds in 2 1/2 months. I am doing really good on the gastric sleeve part. I am now just starting to eat almost anything I want and like everybody else, just small portions. I still have no cravings for sweets. The couple of times I did tried to eat sweets it just didn't taste the same so I figured why eat them if I can't get satisfaction from them. I am enjoying the new me!!!!!

Today makes 2 months post op. I have been at a stand still for the last 2 weeks. I have lost a total of 27 pounds. I know it doesn't sound like much but to me it is. I am now eating almost anything. I try different foods a lot, some I tolerate well and other I say it's not worth eating again after I will be up half the night with indigestion. Like right now I eat 1/2 of a Peanut butter and jelly sandwich for dinner and not agreeing with me. I think it's the jelly because I can eat whipped peanut butter and it doesn't bother me. I am hoping I will lose more weight this coming month. I will have a mass removed from my ovaries January 6 and after that hoping I can start to exercise more and start walking. But right now it hurts to do a lot of waking and doctor doesn't want me doing a lot of physical exercise until is mass is removed. So I am going to start the New Year off with a positive attitude. Thanks for everyone that reads my posts.

Today makes one month that my life changed forever. I am down 21 lbs. I feel great. Having a bit of a hard time with the soft food thing that I started yesterday. But I know it will get easier as time goes on just like the rest of it has. I will post update pictures soon. I would have posted with this update, but my honey took me to the movies to celebrate my one month. I was worried about movie and no popcorn but I had no desire for the popcorn. I loved it thanks to the sleeve.
