Its amazing how fast my 2 week appt came up- was advanced from puree to 'soft foods', and down 22 lbs from my pre-op appointment.
I still just dont feel great- I have read about people having this energy burst but I havent seen it yet. I get so tired, so quickly...and my insides just dont feel 'right'. My doc said its all normal...and because I also had my ovaries removed my recovery may be a little slower than others.
Anyway....I want to tell everyone thank you for posting as we are going along. I dont reply to many posts- but its so encouraging to know that there are others who are going through this right along with me.

1 serving of vanilla or chocolate Protein powder

2-4 tbsp of Peanut Butter
Blenderize it. Share it. As it makes about three rny servings. It is sooooo yummy.

Sorry I haven't updated. I went in yesterday morning at 5:30AM by 7:30AM I was being rolled back to OR. My surgery took a bit longer than usual but did great. Got out of surgery at about 11:15AM was back in my room by 1:10PM. I have had extreme nausea from the gas. Did a lot of burping...spit up a little blood from my pouch which is normal. Couldn't wait to get out of the bed. Laying down with all that air in me was the worst. Haven't needed pain meds except to help me to sleep. Was up walking by 5:00pm walked to the end of the hall and back. Did that two more times during the night. By the third walk I was able to walk on my own. Well i had the iv pole to hold on to. Only ice chips to keep mouth moist... Two every 15 min only. Had severe dry mouth due to pain meds. Using the spirometer is hard because of the gas. TODAY has been better i was served crystal light coffee Jello and Water for Breakfast. I didn't do the coffee at all ate all of the Jello drank 4 oz of crystal light. Took me till lunch time. lunch i had cream of chicken Soup carnation instant Breakfast coffee crystal light. I had one ounce of cream of chicken and one ounce of carnation breakfast. Drank crystal light till dinner. dinner i have cream of mushroom crystal light pudding coffee and carnation instant breakfast. I had two ounces of cream of mushroom and one ounce of crystal light maybe half an ounce of pudding. I get to go home in the morning. Still bloated from the air. Haven't started passing gas yet. Except for burping. They took my catheter out this morning. Peeing was a bit hard to do at first. They took my pain pump this morning, IV this evening. I can have pain meds by request and did have a headache earlier and had to have some. So yucky. Thanks for all the informative posts that got me this far.

Hope all surgeries this week go smoothly for everyone. And pray for quick recoveries.

My surgery is October 29th (Tuesday) as well but i still have this head cold. Taking vit c Claritin tylenol cold and sinus makes me feel some better but I'm afraid they are going to cancel my surgery. I cant do another 10 days of liquid diet. Prayers and thoughts needed.

I sure hope you get over it soon. I hope they don't reschedule. I will be praying

A bit nervous about tomorrow. Got to go in for my pre op evaluation. I have read up on all the tests they could do. Feeling curious about which ones they will do on me. Getting ready to start my 12 day pre op liquid diet. Got my low sodium chicken broth, beef broth, Protein shakes. Some sugar free Jello. Unflavored whey Protein powder to mix in with my broth. Hubby bought me some sugar free pudding. Not sure that counts as a liquid though. Got my baby plate fork and spoon a while ago. Also picked up this new transition sippy cup to help with the sipping of my liquids. I think I'm ready. My last supper will be tomorrow night. My husband has planned to take me to out to a nice restaurant after the all day testing and learning marathon. I still plan to try and stick to my limits though. While still enjoying myself.

Well the pre op yesterday wasn't bad at all. Just a very long day. They took three tubes of blood and a urine sample. Did a chest x-ray and EKG. Visited the nutritionist, psychiatrist, physicians assistant. Lots of papers to sign. Lost a few more pounds. Starting the liquid diet at midnight tonight.
