I almost forgot I didn't get any sugar free pudding just blan decaf tea juice jello chicken broth at lunch and dinner and sorbet once. I ate the sorbet with gusto but barely touched a anything else.

I got home today as well. Dr did a hand assist which comes with extra 2 1/2 incision at belly button. Liquids haven't been a problem. Finally broke wind and I celebrated it feels like if I could pass one 2 minute fart I would feel 200 % better. :-). I'm home now. Hubby is on way back home with pain meds and I am hurting. No BM but no food to create one so its not surprising. Good to be home. Will miss the wonderful Nurses at Good Sam and the handsome Drs :-)) I'm also a little worried about being home alone tomorrow when hubs leaves for work 6 till 6. Good to hear from all of you I was a little worried.

How are all the August 22 ladies doing. Are you stil in hospital? I have to stuy until Sunday. I'm more uncomfortable with all the bloating and gas that will not come out. How are you all feeling?

I had a catheter in until I passed the swallow Test. Them after they took out the tube up my nose. I walked yesterday them at 2:00 am and today a long way. My dr had to perform a hand assist and had to make a 2 1/2 incision. Hopefully home on Sunday

On way to hospital. 5:17 yawn. Hang in there ladies!

Sorry to hear you have to be separate. Hang in there Buddy. It won't be long!

I'm on day 5 of that awful chalky tasting shake. I'm glad today was the last day. It does get easier Mzshay. Stick to it. You don't have long to go. You can do it!

I've been so busyi haven't had time to worry. I've been real good about the 5 day shakes glad to say bye bye. I cheated once at a wedding Saturday night but we won't go there. I'm checking in at 5:30 surgery at 8:00 I'm saying prayers for all of us tonight. I'm bringing the iPad and will check on you guys. Dear lord and Heavenly Father please watch over all of us aug 22 girls as we have this surgery tomorrow. Lord please watch over and guide our physicians to keep us all safe. In Jesus name I pray. amen.

Blueeyez Hope you are feeling okay. I was thinking about you and TT and his wife. My surgery is Thursday, rny, gallbladder and hyatial hernia repair. It's one stop surgery here. I wish you all the best. Keep us all posted.

Thanks DL Coggins. I received the spreadsheet and learned about some interesting foods I like with lots of protien. I will use you list and maybe add to it later on.

You look amazing. Congratulations on the new you.

Such good news about the coffe. The nutritionist said no more caffiene. I have a question. I've read that we cant have pasta or rice. What if I blenderize it in the magic bullet? Can i have it then?

Fortunatley I have never been a soda drinker. I like iced tea and I beleive I can still have it. I will miss my coffee though. sniff sniff!! I even had foriegn coffees delivered to the house.

The hospital supplied IMPACT Advanced Recovery. Its Vanilla. Its not very nice tasting. Only 5 more to go.

How do you feel? Take it easy and good luck to you!

Oh, and sitting on the deck while you drink it like a cocktail.

I didn't have any dreams but my husband has this Cincinnati Skyline Chili for lunch today and it smelled so good. I drank my shake and enjoyed the smell. I sticking to this liquid diet too, no matter how bad it tastes. It's better in a wine glass with ice?

I am doing important things first: a manicure and a pedicure! :-) Actually I have all the food items and Vitamins. I am stopping on the way home from work to get a pill crusher the chapstick and I have to get G2. I have to drink one the night before and one 5 hours before surgery. Do any of you have to do a cleanse?

I went through that a few weeks ago. it was fun! My last meal was at Carabbas. That was definately more fun than the crappy shakes I am on now. Vanilla. It tastes like chalk. I am sticking to it. Keep drinking water and that helps.

So glad to hear you were finally approved. I will probably have to pay on my own. The insurance gave an authorization number but in a 3 font it said. "This authorization does not guarantee payment." My surgery is this Thursday the 22nd. I am very excited and a little apprehensive which is normal, I suppose. I too believe this is a personal journey and I have shared with my husband, my boss and a few close friends.Ii work for a big company and in my department weight is a determant to promotions. Its not written but i'ts obvious. I love my job though and would not change it. I started gaining weight at 40 and now I am 53 and 250. I just want to say all the best to you and your journey and I will look forward to keeping up with you here.

Dlcloggin please send to me also. Thanks so much. wendykey@fuse.net
