I've been up and walking around! If I get some more fluids in today then they'll take out the iv. My pain is very controlled and really just feels like muscular aches. The surgeon says I'm a model patient, and can't wait to see all of my exciting changes!

Had my 3 month with the dietician today. I've officially lost 40% of my excess weight! That felt good to hear even though the loss has been SO SLOW for me.

Keep it in mind

Yogurt...cuz I'm too lazy to make something!

I'm jealous! My nut said no red meat or pork until 3 months, but some meatballs are definitely first on my list!

High weight and current. Not much difference since surgery, but I can start to see some from the beginning of my journey. Note to self: clean hallway mirror!

I'm feeling exactly the same way at about two weeks out. I'm having no problem getting in the 3 oz of Protein. Other people are still on liquids and stuff. I'm starting to wonder if they played a trick on me, cut 6 slits in my belly and woke me up from anesthesia!! Haha

Okay so i got to the hospital at 5am, and checked in. Then they took me to the Pre-op area where I got my IV started and hooked up to lactated ringers and antibiotics. Then I met the Nurse anesthetist, operating room nurse, and anesthesiologist. Each of them reviewed my medical history with me, asked about allergies and such. my doctor came in and said hi. Then they gave me some sedation and took me into the OR. I woke up in recovery and had been there for about an hour and a half. My pulse ox and BP were continually monitored. I initially had some mild pain, about a 4 or 5 on a scale of 1 to 10. I have a morphine pump which I pressed every five minutes or so. When my room was ready they wheeled me there and my Mom was waiting for me. my mom is a retired OR nurse so she and my floor nurse chit chatted for a while which was a bit annoying cause couldn't follow the conversation due to the morphine. After Mom left, I dozed on and off since then. I am not needing to push the morphine pump for pain. I only have a slight soreness now. I have a catheter in and IV still. I just asked if I would be able to remove the catheter and go for a walk, but the doc wants me on bed rest today. No Water or ice chips or anything until tomorrow afteR my EGD but they did let me brush my teeth thank goodness! My mouth is so dry. I am so happy to be on the Losers Bench!!

They're the worst and I don't know what to do!!!
But I found this which looks promising: http://www.celebratevitamins.com/shop/multivitamin.html

It's interesting how different docs give such different advice isn't it? I'm supposed to be on Clear liquids plus Protein shakes and Vitamins from the day I was discharged, then starting soft Proteins day 8. I think tomorrow I'm going to try to mix my shake with soy or skim milk a day early though because the taste is killing me! I don't think a day is going to make a huge difference. I'm getting all of my liquids in no problem. Have since day 1 so I've been lucky I guess!
