I had my last Pre-Op group class and received a huge binder full of all the information I will need. They assigned me an angel...someone my age that had a successful sleeve and willing to be my support person nearby. Then, I went to my Pre-Op appointment at the hospital. Registered, had a Vascular Vein leg check, bloodwork, EKG, and chest x-ray. Met with the hospital pharmacist, and nurse. Received my time 6am Dec. 4th!!! Also, gave me some special soap to wash with. It is real now!!! Time to stock up on Protein Shakes, broth, Jello, measuring cups, Water cup with measuring guides, chapstick, new slippers and a robe!!!😩😱🤗 So excited for this new journey!! Plus, my doctor’s office gave me different samples of Vitamins to see which one I can maybe tolerate/like. 🤢Vitamins will be hard for me. 🤞I can find some that work.

My date is December 4th! It is approaching fast and I am so busy with “life” I haven’t had time to even think about it fully yet. I have two appointments Wednesday. One with the office and Pre-Op @ the hospital.

Update:Surgery 12/4. The night in the hospital was a little rough, I was nauseated with the dry heaves. They drug you up and then wake you up every hour. The worse pain is in my neck and back from laying on my back to sleep and falling asleep in the chair a lot. Tuesday, I can have “full liquids” and I think I am ready... Cream Soups, thin oatmeal, grits, pudding, and almond milk sound great!!! I do not like sweet tasting items at this point. I am drinking chocolate Orgain Protein Shakes, wonton Soup broth, and crunching tropical popsicles and crushed ice. The staples are sore and itchy but not a big deal. Just don’t forget and sit straight up in the middle of the night...ouch!! 😩 The weight is falling off so far. I get my staples out Friday!!! So far not that bad!!! 👍👍👍
