Yes, My Co-workers Will See Me Naked!

Well, it's about 10:16p St. Louis time. After nesting like a pregnant mother getting ready to deliver twins, I have successfully cleaned the kitchen, done ALL the laundry, finished my business tasks I needed to get done, swept, dusted. You name it. Has anyone else experienced that? I'm sure my husband is thinking, "You should get surgery more often and our house would be cleaner!"

 

Kids are all tucked in, I'm getting ready to hibacleanse scrub and then I think I'm hitting the sak. I was not required to do a pre-surgery diet at all, but felt it would be best. At first I was going to do all hard core, but I really did protein shakes, and high protein meat. No bread (except at Maggiano's once) and I've quit soda cold turkey. I've lost 9lbs pre-op. Today I did egg whites with spinach, 2 pc turkey bacon. Then an Isopure for lunch, and I've had two protein shakes. Not as hard as I thought leading up to surgery.

 

I'm fortunate enough to be a nurse in the surgery center world, so I already know who my CRNA will be. Kind of weird though now everytime I see her I will think, gee she saw my big NAKED fatty-boubaladdy self! Oh well. I guess there could be worse things right.

 

Super excited to start feeling better. 0930 can't get here soon enough! I don't even care about skinny clothes or looking, "hot". I want to be able to bend over and tie my shoes without being out of breath. I want to get up in the morning and not have to lug around an extra 200lbs. This fat chic is ready to be healthy!

Hope you are feeling well after your surgery. Plus you know you were in good hands. I am currently a nursing student, just started back to school this year for my RN. So far I've got to work with my OBGYN, and cardiologist both have seen me naked. Last time I ended up in ER my nursing instructor was the charge nurse. My mom has some weird skin disorder and they can't figure it out, so she is being presented on grand rounds, said 50 dermotologist get to see her naked next week. she a little uneasy be over 300 lbs and standing in front of 50 doctors looking at the rash on her bum, she was laughing about so that is some thing. SHe is a nurse also.I had my surgery in a different hospital. How are you feeling? Good luck. Suzi
