I used Dr. Waggoner. His staff is AMAZING! The post-op nurse is a sleeve buddy herself. Dr, Waggoner is super nice and came to see me twice post-op. He is at the new hospital on 290. North Cypress Medical Center. i had a private room and again, the staff was great! Dr. Waggoner also has post-op groups and they cater in a food type for whatever stage you are in. i,e., liquids, pureed, etc, etc http://www.cypressweightloss.com/

Thank you all!! I am soooo looking forward to some real peas!! CJ- I would be licking the glass of the vending machine!

I chose green for my font color for a reason that I will get to in a moment. The huge news is My surgery is in 7 hours and I am sleepy but obviously not asleep! I am nervous but surprisingly calm. I wonder what the heck I will be like in the morning?!? I told the nurse that until I am knocked out I am subject to walking out from my nerves. She didn't believe me. All I have to say is...SAY I WON'T! :ph34r: I hit 16 lbs loss this morning and got out of the 300's! Wooooo hooo!!!!!! Now for my green story. I was at a friend's house and after using the restroom I washed my hands and reached for a paper towel only to notice it had green peas designed all over them. Okay, I am a fat girl who has been starving for 2 weeks. Really?? Haha. I went out and asked my friend how many carbs she thought were in that paper towel because the peas looked delicious! Sometimes I crack me up!

Amy!!! First and foremost...Congrats on your smoking AND your losing! You are doing fabulous!!! As for the Gatorade, I was told i couldn't have it yet but will definitely keep that in mind when I can! I have been drinking Water and diluted apple juice.

Thank you so much! i am usually the one with that response! I will say a prayer and let it go!

What brand?? Sounds good!! Must share!!! hahaha

I am 3 days post op and had to stay in the hospital an extra day and a half. I get these wierd feeling after I sip on something. They feel like hunger pangs but I am simply not hungry. I have tried cold, warm, room temp, etc. Also, How long did the dizziness and nausea last? I walk whenever I can. Please tell me I'm not the only one windering why in the heck I did this???

I don't think I want to experience this! I wonder if it's forever triggered by sugar...

I actually didn't mind the muscle milk and surprisingly enough, the banana creme wasn't horrible either!

I think a lot of my issues were coming from them keeping me on morphine around the clock. I told them I did not want anymore pain meds so I hope this is just residual meds left in my body. As for walking, I feel the same way so I started walking around the house. Just walking whenever ad wherever I can. I hope you feel better soon as well!!!

I will definitely let you know!! I am hoping to feel much better real soon because tis dizzy/nauseous feeling sucks!! I will say though, as far as pain goes the gas was the worst. I feel so thursty I want to chug a giant glass of Water. I know I won't but I would like to!

That's a good idea!! Right now I pin it to my clothes to keep it from dangling but obviously I would not have anything to pin it to in the shower!

Good luck and I will pray for all of us to have a speedy recovery!!! I'm nervous, scared, excited, etc, etc, etc

I just started mine but I am also just starting my journey with surgery tomorrow! Here's a link! http://www.verticalsleevetalk.com/user/29365-angelakay2/

Okay, okay! I lied but not intentionally. I said I would not neglect my blog and what have I done? tsk, tsk, tsk. I have my surgery Wednesday morning and I am starting to become a chicken! I don't just mean a little nervous I mean full on growing feathers! Eeeek! All I can think about right now is if I am making the right decision to let some man cut more than half of my stomach off. I will say that I have lost 14.5 lbs so far! Woohoo! Of course it's been tough but worth it. Also, on a body the size of mine no one (including me) can tell. Tomorrow I plan to spend the morning wrapping up some loose ends and then hanging at the pool with my 10 year old since Mama won't be able to swim with her for 2 weeks. Now, if you do not want to endure my venting you may stop reading So, my husband is active duty in the Army and came into town for my surgery. He decided he wanted to eat out (we were already out). i suggested the ONLY place that I could eat, which was Boston Market because they have non-creamed spinach and water. He INSISTED on Golden Corral. Well....we all know that is a buffet!! Seriously? Your 300 lb wife sitting and watching you eat from a buffet while I have a cup of spinach and some water??? To add sprinkles on top he made a trip to the dessert bar. I was soooooooo mad!!!!! Uuuugghhhh!!!!
