I had complication of low hematocrit so instead of going home in 48 hours I had to stay till 3 days. They gave me a unit of blood. It took until 10 pm so I got home Friday 230 pm. I feel worse at home than in the hospital. Probably because dog and wife expect me to pick right up.

Good luck today, MzShay!

On the losers bench! YAY! I've had a miserable night but its almost over. Today is water very slowly and with God's blessing some broth tonight. My phone is my entertainment because I will *not* pay $10 a day for the t.v. I hope you end-of-the-month losers are doing ok too.

T-T, your goal weight is the same as mine! I am starting a bit higher than you, tho--258 before the 2-week diet. Glad to hear you are doing ok.

Oh, Mz Shay! I hope everything goes well with the endoscopy for you. I still have my endoscopy on Wednesday, the semi-liquid diet and I have to make certain that I do not have a yeast infection going on in the area where the incisions will be. Today went ok other than my nerves.

I'm nervously sitting in the waiting room for my pre-op appointment. I've been dreaming about this, because I don't know what to expect. Sx date is 8/27. Hopefully this will go smoothly. Just wanted to share my nerves!

Mjlange68, Congrats on making it to the losers' bench! I hope it is smooth sailing over here too. It's still a bit scary *not knowing* if I'll get through these last 3 weeks. OMG! It really is just 3 more weeks!! I hope you continue to heal.

I'm optimistic for us both, Mz Shay. I keep putting the results into God's Hands and do my part by showing up & eating right. That's all we can do.

Oops

Ah. Ok. Well I had one 2 years ago and it was fine. My surgeon wants one within 3 months of surgery, though. I've been on omeprazole for a few years now though because of heartburn. And I love spice!

LOL! I have fibro and I am so hoping that I get all the energy people talk about.

What's an EGd? Did they say what caused the inflammation? I have an endoscopy scheduled the 14th, and the pre-op appointment is the 9th.
