I dunno hw I got to come home so early...My surgery was at 1pm monday and I got out of recovery and put into a room at 6pm had my nasty horrible feeling barium swallow at 7am started feeling horribly sick so they had to give me more nausea meds in my IV instead of by pills and they knocked me out again so muy mom got to the hospital around 9 am and i was still out of it so i had to finally get up and walk around a little and they let me go home at noonish I was the only surgery on monday all by myself lol

Thanks for the welcome...I felt like I got hit by a truck as soon as I woke up from surgery. The hiatal hernia repair made it to where I couldn't breathe...then the band was painful too. I have 4 incisions 3 of them are about half an inch and the big one for the port is like 2 1/2 inches long. The most pain I am having is lots of gas pain in my chest and left shoulder mostly. And it's very hard to burp. My incisions are hurting too but not like the hernia repair...Also it doesn't matter how much I walk around it doesn't seem to dimenish any of the gas/pain. Tis annoying but so worth it. I weighed myself before surgery and I was down 17lbs. That's 11 the first preop week 17 the 2nd preop week. If I add that 28 and the 28 from my 6 month diet for insurance I am down 56 lbs. I sure hope I begin to feel normal again soon though, I can't lay down or lean back without lots of pressure from the hernia repair...so I'll be sleeping sitting up for awhile! Having lots of trouble swallowing pills too...especially since I can only have so many ounces of water an hour. Gonna start crushing them.

yes thank god for happy pills because I am in a horrible amount of pain...so happy to be banded though!

I'm in bandland now!! In lots of pain and loving my vicodin woot.

kaplan told me today that I'm his star patient already! I was down another 17 lbs yesterday on the 2nd week of preop so i am down 56 lbs!! I am in lots of pain mostly gas pains...hurts to walk around get up etc. I had to stay at the hospital until noon though due to me getting really nauseated this morning and they had to give me more meds.

Here's the link to the spreadsheet again for anyone who needs it... Google Docs - Notorious Novembers Weightloss Log If you need to know the data for putting on it look at the spreadsheet or page 1. The spreadsheet won't be updated any tomorrow and I don't know if I will feel up to it on Tuesday evening. We will see. If not I should on Wednesday. Wish me luck guys!! :laugh:

I absolutely won't be on anytime tomorrow and probably at least not until Tuesday evening. My surgeon requires an overnight stay and I won't get out of the hospital until Tuesday afternoon. Updated the spreadsheet!

Yes it is :laugh:

I finally got my password changed on google...and UPDATED the spreadsheet YAY I won't be on tomorrow or possibly all of tuesday...WISH ME LUCK

Glad everyone is doing well!! After tomorrow I'll be postop! :laugh:

Thanks Kyla!!! :laugh:

hello guys! I am so sorry I haven't updated the spread sheet. I can't remember my dang google password and I forget how to have it sent to me...can anyone help? I can try again today! My surgery is tomorrow woohoo!

My surgery is tomorrow and I'm having a hiatal hernia repaired too.

tomorrow is the big day! :laugh:

Tomorrow is the big day :laugh:

Tomorrow ismy big day!! :laugh:

I'll try to update the spreadsheet on Saturday or Sunday before I go in for surgery Monday. Sorry for not updating...my computer hasn't been being the best of my friend right now lol

My intestines are not liking me not having hardly any solid foods...lmfao wow I can't imagine what it will be like on Monday and alter when I am on ALL liquids. I finally got all of my stuff for post op :cursing: NOT TOO MUCH LONGER YAY... Elizabeth THAT'S AWESOME that you're losing weight now...maybe with the breakfast foods you should be eating stuff with less carbs...like maybe some eggs? Or greek yogurt. Plain greek yogurt is a food I know a lot of people who are banded eat for breakfast...just some ideas. Hope your weightloss keeps up!! Jennifer no worries about the food...stuff like that happens....I had 2 times when I saw Lindsay when I had gained...1 lb and 2 lbs but you gotta also remember if you're doing any exercise you might be gaining muscle....also you might be retaining water. You'll do better my dear. :eek: Good luck to all!!! -spins around in circles- :crying:

Is it wrong of me to want my own identity? I mean come on...I didn't just goto a site and make mine...just to let you know. I have a tablet and animation programs...maybe it's selfish that I made my own design and wanted me to just have it? I am not the only person who thought it and for you guys to all get so bent out of shape over it is ridiculous. I emailed her nicely and asked if she could change it...BIG DEAL...so I guess that makes me a horrible person...and for you who blame your crabbiness on preop diet...I've been on one since the 10th...and I'm not being rude to anyone...EXCUSE me for wanting to be original.

Kyla it isn't your fault I missed you...mom was in a hurry and wanted to do other stuff before she got home to eat lunch and goto work. So as soon as I got done we left. Elizabeth I'm sure since that fill you will probably start losing better. Don't give up...and exercise! At least 30 min a day is important! It jump starts your metabalism...I'd also try different foods for breakfast and not always have cereal...especially one with honey in it lol. I hope you get to feeling better...I'm sure you will do fine! I wish it was closer to monday lol...since Monday is the surgery...when they have the official time they know that I need to come in for sure will they call Friday? I think someone told me Saturday...but I don't think they're there on Saturday. I know for now I'm supposed to be there by 11.

I was down 11 lbs the 4th morning of preop diet. Today I got weighed again and I'm stuck at 11...but a total of 39 down so far. Surgery is monday I'm also having a hiatal hernia fixed. It sounds like my surgeon has a diet a bit like yours Beth post op. Clear liquids a week full liquids 1-2 weeks mushie 1-2 weeks then soft solids a week then regular food again..I should be back to regular food christmas week HOPEFULLY.

I was at Jeannie's office until almost noon today...surprised i didn't see either of you.

That's perfect!

I'll update the spreadsheet in a bit.

I sent her a PM asking her to change it...I want my own we each are Notorious Novembers but we deserve to each have our own style to it. :smile2: If she doesn't change I guess I'll make a new one...I've had this problem a couple times already too Jaime.
