Liz The New Me

Hope everybody is doing well from surgery. I have my ups and down also but getting stronger every day. Stay strong!

Sorry for not staying in touch. Just so tried all the time but I keep pushing on. Worked a 2 half days, 2 days after surgery. I was so feeling it. I'm still having a hard time getting all the liquids in. Feel so full all the time. Now the burping is sometime I'm not use to. Thinking I should learn how to say the ABC's like the kids do. LOL Wanting to eat something so bad that I tried 2 tablespoon of Greek Yogurt with cinnamon and a pinch of honey. The cold is what hurts but letting it sit in my mouth to warm up helped. SOOO good. Still took me 15 mins to finish that, Takes me forever to finish protein shakes also. The scale says I have lost weight but my head and clothes says different. But I have to still keep my head in the game and think of the bigger picture. Target date Dec of 2019 my daughter's wedding. I'm going to find a Hot but Classy dress to wear! LOL

Surgery went Great. Only got 3 holes the in the belly button can’t see it that much. I’m home now resting and walking. Worried about not getting enough fluids because I feel full. I’m afraid to drink to much and throw up. Since I heard my fellow VSleever in the next room loose it and in so much pain. But I’m going to stay strong and keep thinking of the bigger picture. Thanks you guys for checking in with me.

At the hospital. Sit and wait. Everything is a go. ???

One day or should I said 19 hrs. Winds have taken out the other side of town this morning but just came back on. Winds are high gusts and been raining all night and day. But have received no notification from the hospital. I guess no news is good news.

No It has not hit us yet. Couple of hrs to go before it gets here.

I will try and keep you posted if Hurricane Florence will stop it on Monday

Thank you! 3 Days to go! The Hurricane is moving so SLOW now they are saying, it will start hitting us late Friday till Sunday. As if my nerves weren't on edge all ready.

Yes, Never a dull moment in my Life!

OK! So only 4 to go. Then this has to happen....Hurricane Flo on it's way! But of course. LOL At least I don't have to worry about running out of FOOD. LOL Liquid shakes all the way.

One week to go!! Count down. Hungry pains comes and goes but not when people are eating in front of me. About lost it when my husband made himself a BLT. LOL Plus able to do 64 oz of water, which is a shocker. Putting in small glasses worked for me. Lost ten pounds on the liquid diet so far and keeping my head in the game.

You Got This!!!!!!

Had the Endoscopy today! Check off - Done Next is the Hospital visit and get the time of surgery. 9/11 I started the liquid diet early because it was easier to start on the weekend home than at work. But I can sure tell now when the 3 hrs. are up for my next shake. I'm surprised that I'm getting the 64 oz of water in and sometimes wanting more. I found that putting in a 8 oz glass is making all the difference.

I'm with you on this feeling of the NEW beginning going to start!

Meeeee too. Just found out today! Sept 17! V sleeve. Nervous Excited all at the same time. Tons of appointments coming up till the day. We are all stronger together! ??‍♂️??
