I do have a fat vajayjay. Crap.

I'm 7 days into my pre op diet and already regretting it. :-/ but I know I'm being ridiculous. There's a better way to live life, I know there is. food is meant to fuel us, not consume us.

Tssiemer, I am so glad to see your feeling better. I've been wondering about you. Hopefully you don't feel bad anymore.
Bloomer, how are you feeling? Is it hitting you yet?
Brittney, I promise it won't take forever as it seems. It's almost May. Can't even believe it. Summer is coming and that always goes by fast lol.

I'm ready. Bag packed, kids at granny's and husband briefed on departure time in the morning. It will be weird to be the one in the hospital bed. I'm always the family member at bedside and I work in a hospital. I will touch base with you all tomorrow. Think happy thoughts for me!

Brittney, it's crazy how fast summer will go but to you, it might feel like forever now. I had to do this for 9 months. 11 months all together. It's a good thing to wait since you can see what everyone goes through and experience. Gather information up too. I'm here if you have any questions or anything. I am 11 weeks out now and it's has its up n downs. It gets better as time goes.
Tssiemer, I am so happy your better. I really am! Are you doing the liquid diet we were on for pre op? Or just watching what you eat?
Bloomer, good luck with everything and it might be rough the 1st week. Definitely the first couple days, but I promise, it gets better. I am here for you!
Bcostasbiggs, how are you doing?

Hey guys! Surgery went well but it was my first time with anesthesia and let's just say I'm a lightweight and apparently have sleep apnea.. I ended up having to go to the medical step down unit ( between icu and floor status ) because I needed On a non rebreather machine because I was having respiratory issues . I'm doing much better now but they had to keep yelling at me to wake up so I would breath. Morphine was too much for me too causing me to be too sedated. I've been feeling much better but may have to stay another night.

Bcostasbiggs, that's good your much better. It will all keep getting better too. Definitely with the weight coming off.
Bloomer, that's so scary to think that you have apnea and they had to wake you up different times. But at least you know your in good hands and they took great care of you obviously. I'm just happy your okay and hopefully you will be feeling good too. I had to stay an extra day so don't feel bad. It's better to be in a safe place.

Got home around 4 and feeling good. Getting fluids in and ate a Popsicle. Looking forward to cream Soups and yogurt over the next week I only have one incision that hurts. I gained 6 pounds at the hospital. I know it just fluids ad will wait to weigh again Friday.

I'm may 10th too!!

24 hours til show time!

I'm on my 4 th day of pre op liquid diet which is 5 shakes, broth, sf Jello and Popsicles and Water.
I used to poop 2 times a week. I know how you feel.
Now I'm pooping 2 times a day.
Where is all this poop coming from????? It's mostly solid too.

. Woooo!! Where? I live in Mason (where kings island is) and getting sleeved at UC West Chester.

Drink some fluids with electrolytes. You may also want to have something with a little sodium in it (broth). It sounds like you might be dehydrated.

I've been on everything out there but have not had Wellbutrin.
I deal with a lot of grief in my line of work. Just last week a client of mine died of a drug overdose. I took it way too hard to just have been his counselor so I've had to explore those feelings. Just keep at it. It gets better.

Damn right !!!!!!
Will do.
But, know that I don't break out the grill..............it breaks out me........
No kidding......I freaking love the aroma of wood smoke and charcoal......need that that in my life. Tonight, I laughed at my neighbor and her gas grilling attempts.....laughed......not loud enough for her to hear me, though.......as she was a kindred spirit this afternoon.....grilling on her deck. I waved. She waved back. All was well in my universe. No judgment passed......unless she thought ill of me for burning fossil fuels for my own pleasures.
Both are done with some regularity 'round here.

Hmmm, just wait. When nothing but liquid is going in, eventually it will be liquid going out. I started on Day 4 Pre Op and still have it here and there.

My goodness people. If you don't want to be told the truth then don't ask people who have been there. Keep asking your fat friends how to do it.

Guys. I miss food.

I started my pre op liquid diet Friday and already 288.4 lbs!! Woooo.

Just a few more days! Down to 221.8, feels like I hit a stall on pre-op...lol
I have no interest in food at this time. Started using soap on my belly provided by MD in preparation for surgery on Friday. Feeling good!
