    I did 10 days liquid diet. I knew from a ct scan earlier his year that I had fatty liver. The operation for my dr.s part took an hour and 15 minutes. He said that was pretty good. Im also glad for the 10 day diet because it got me in the mindset for after the surgery liquid diet.

    Ok I'm finally awake enough to post. Surgery went well. Just took forever to get to surgery. Blood pressure was a problem so they pumped me with pills. Pain is tolerable. Not sure if it's because of pain pills or not though. Hardest part is I have not drank anything in over 24 hrs.

    My surgery was a little slower than average yesterday. High blood pressure the morning of surgery and during surgery. I slept all night on and off. No major pains except getting out of bed. Hard time peeing and they did an in/out cath to get it out. I'm supposed to get up three times today to walk. Just waiting on a test this morning to make sure there are no leaks then onto liquids. I have not drank anything since Monday around 6 pm. That also means no Proteins and Vitamins. I can't wait to start drinking again. Then Thursday they will discharge me. Yes two night stay. I'll be glad to get back home.

    I went the fmla route since my director really did not want me taking off for a week. I had told the director about 45 days out and she said not until December. Once I got fmla turned in her tone changed. But I work in healthcare. I expected privacy even though I did not tell her. She posted the type of leave on the schedule "fmla" so everyone started asking questions. I gently reminded the director about personal and confidential and she quickly removed it. So still only a few people at work know. Or maybe everyone knows but has just not said anything. Lol

    So many people have there's in November. It will be such a great support network. I'm getting a little nervous this morning as I get ready.
    I have to juggle dropping my boys off at school then driving an hour and half for check in. I hope I get everything packed. Two nights in the hospital. I was really hoping for one. But that's how it goes.

    That's interesting your dr won't do the surgery on vegans. There are so many source of Protein now such as the unflavored that could be added to Soup and broths. It would be a little more challenging by I could be done.

    micmt got a reaction from cc1967 in Need help - What did I do wrong   
    I feel the same way. I have told my family but not hers. I spend more time with them than mine. I have not personally told them. I just did not want to be judged by them since they are all skinny. But she has been keeping them up to date. I did not realize it until last week. But what can you do. It's done. I'm not going to divorce my wife over it. Arguing about it is pointless. Let her know how you feel and tell her you love her and enjoy the make up session.

    micmt got a reaction from della street in Surgery date set- Instantly terrified!   
    Oh I am excited. But I thought I had another month to mentally prepare for the procedure. It's life changing in so many ways. To have it move a month closer and that I was done with the hurdles was a shock to my system I guess. It made me realize that something I have wanted for years was actually going to happen. I'm sure everyone is different. But for some it's like bungie jumping off a bridge. You really want to do it. Get all prepped. Then you see the drop and say what if the line snaps. But you just jump anyways. After it's over you say I why did I not do that jump sooner. There's nothing to be afraid of.
