I never thought I would be this fit/healthy again in my life. 4 months after my heart surgery I decided to change my lifestyle & really put in the work to better my health. It hasn’t been easy. When I started this journey I was 260 lbs & a whole year later I’m 175 lbs!

I can’t believe it’s been a week already since my surgery. Staying in the city this weekend with my moms/grandma. Had my first appointment today since leaving the hospital for my blood. Honestly I’m exhausted! Been resting all day. But Lets Go YANKEES!

59 days since I had my open heart surgery. 64 days since my last game at Yankee Stadium. It’s my first game back & it’s Aaron Judge’s first game back in the Bronx. Something tells me this game is gonna be special. 🥹 LFG

Postop day three still pretty sore around the chest area and my shoulder. I can move my right hand better now it’s still tingling in there but It’s a lot better than the other days. I’m gonna go for a walk later. And what a great win by the Yankees last night.

I have nothing but amazing things to say about every single person who took care of me from every RN and PCT to my PT therapist to my amazing heart surgeons and his team and my cardiologist. I am beyond grateful by the love and support and well wishes I got from everyone!
This guy right here got cleared by his doctors for everything everything. I will need a couple weeks to get off my meds but this guy is back!!!! LFG!! Almost 💯

Day 12 PostOp! I woke up in a lot of pain. But I didn’t let it get to me. Went for two walks today! Starting to do a bit more house stuff like dishes and cooking a bit. Still hurts to use my right hand 🫱 cuz of the nerve pain. Just taking it slow and staying positive.

LFG
Officially 2 weeks PostOp- my sternum hurts a lot more today especially when I do a little exercises. The only thing keeping the pain away are the meds. Able to do half of my walk today, hopefully tomorrow’s better. Anyways. LETS GO YANKEES.
#RepBX
Please win today 🙏🏼

#RepBX
had my first full day of work yesterday. It was very exhausting. Specially, since it was my first day back after surgery.🤟🏼🤟🏼
I truly am blessed to see another year! I’m not gonna lie, I was scared I wasn’t gonna see another year but here I am. From my surgery to my depression to all the pain hidden behind the smiles. I’m beyond grateful to be ALIVE! Thanks to those who really there for me!! Thanku 🙏🏼🫶🏻
Staying off social media for the rest of the weekend. I’m really hitting a dark place in my recovery right now. If you have my number I might not reply right away or at all. Hope y’all have a great weekend. 🙏🏼
Finally got a haircut after 3 months. And got my possibly last round of meds during my recovery ❤️🩹 it’s been almost 3 months since my heart surgery and this is the best I’ve felt in a very long time. ❤️🩹

I really can’t believe it’s been a month already since my surgery. The pain is a 5-6 on most days. I couldn’t do this without my best friend truly. For everyone who has visited or checked up on me constantly thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️I’m truly grateful for y’all!🤟🏼
Feeling a bit better today. Not fully but enough energy to go to my appointment. Recovery hasn’t been easy. It’s really been a real challenge. I knew it wasn’t gonna be easy at all but mentally/physically this is draining! Thanks to those who understand! 🫶🏼
Day 22 In my recovery. My doctors changed my meds around for my pain. Those meds take the pain away but make me so drowsy. Actually did the dishes last night even with my nerve pain. (Small victories) 🙏🏼 and the Yankees won tonight. Now to relax. What to watch tonight? 🤔
#RepBx
Postop Day 5. So it’s official, I will be getting discharged from the hospital tonight. Today is one of the tougher days I woke up in tremendous pain partly because I didn’t wanna take my oxy during the day. I wanted to take it more at night but I’m leaving today!
#RepBX
Thank you for kidnapping me for a couple of hours. ❤️ it was nice to go outside for something other than my walks and appointments 😇 it was nice to see the both of you and catch up! 🤟🏼
Day 16 PostOp! Taking it really easy today. More sore than usual especially my right arm with my nerve pain. Might not watch game 2 tonight. It’s embarrassing the way the Yankees are playing! Any recommendations on what to watch tonight!??
