Was just scary to have the first thing I ate. Broth. Not agree with me. Sigh.

I got first meal tonight. I'm not ure if I ate too fast but it was not good. It tasted great but tummy gurgles and gas was painful and 5 min later and I barely made it to the restroom. Does it get better?

Awesome!!!!!

I did get painmeds. But so far I feel ok. Gas discomfort. Not tons of pain no nauseau. I was super hot and sweaty last night thou

Suck. Don't blow. Got it. Haha.

Well. Made it through surgery. Last night was a wtf did I do to myself night. A lot of pain groggy etc. I'm feeling better this am. Did a lap around the floor. I have my blow into it to make ball thing. But I can't get the balls to move. And have a hard time getting a deep breath is this normal?

Nurse just got me up to start prep tests and such. I met tamtamz who is here too. She rocks. Omar is great. Cece is sweet and the staff are lovely. I'm a bundle of nerves. They are coming in for Iv and such soon. I wish I had a robe to cover my backside. Haha. I am glad I brought a small fuzzy blanket from home... Eeeeeek im nervous.

PS what kind of memory card would he need?

whoa... a video of the surgery? do I want to see that?

I'm getting surgery Wednesday by dr kelly too!!!!

Ok. So say months after post op could you have a handful Of popcorn? It may be enuf to feel satisfied and not bitter. I see movies maybe 8/ year. And I hope post surgery I'm happy with a handful ( or sneaking in some cheese or something) vs 10 cups with butter like before ??? Is it an off limits food always?

I'm leaving Tuesday. And going solo. And I'd be very upset if I ( paying patient) wasn't attended to as well as I could have been during recovery because others there ( non patients) were wanting resources. I think it was poor judgement of the patient with the enterouge and probably Omar's desire to make everyone happy ( and inability to say no) that was the problem .

So..... Is it like noticeable? Temporary? Preventable? Bound to happen or just a small possibility that it may happen.? Did it come back nicely? Different? I love my hair.

Ow much should I be trying for after surgery? 10 Laps a day? 2? What's normal?

I'm still pre op. but do you have a vitamix? It's expensive but is the one tool in my kitchen I use daily. Obviously for smoothies. Purées etc. but toss in frozen fruit and a bit of honey and it makes sorbet. Plus. Add veggies. Broth. Cooked chicken. And it will make soup. The motor is so Powerful it can hear it up IN the vitamix. 5 min. So you could add protein ( chicken) to soup.

Just ordered some. Thanks for tip. Surgery is Wednesday. Eeeek

well.. i haven't had the surgery yet.. but you said you havent been eating right and you haven't been drinking Water.. i guess i'd start there? I also think because it doesn't seem like you have as much to lose as others... that it may take a little longer? I think its amazing.. you are doing great.... is your goal weight realistic. I'm 5'9" and have never been 130... i was a size 2 at 145... How do your clothes fit? I think sometimes you can be heavy but skinny?

Woot woot! Sleeve Buddy!

how far is the drive for you? It could be kinda fun... make a little trip out of it. I'd think you would need to walk around a lot.. so the drive back.. lots of stops and walks.

Ow strict /long you did pre op liquid diet to recovery time and complications? Seems like some sail through and others have more symptoms ( pain nausea has etc). I also know some people are strict with dirt and others are more lenient pre op. think there is a correlation?

Oh dang. Asking you of you want Anything? That sucks. Does he know your diet needs post surgery. Just keep picturing yourself your goal size .

July 11. Right around the corner. So excited!

I want to pack light. But still bring laptop etc. what should I all bring?

i'm going to put $10 per pound i lose in cash in an envelope: shopping spree as i need new clothes.
