    Thanks! For full liquids I was allowed Protein Shakes, yogurt drinks, thin creamed Soups, and sugar free hot chocolate.
    Tomorrow I start full liquids, so pudding, pureed Soup, cottage cheese, and greek yogurt.

    Well today’s the big day. Woke up my normal time 5:30 am, and have gone about my regular routine feeling extremely relaxed and blessed. Have my bag almost packed checklist almost completed. God bless all of that has come before and that will come after that are on this incredible journey. BELIEVE IN YOURSELF AND YOUR OWN REASON FOR DOING THIS! IF YOU BELIEVE IN GOD LET HIM BE YOUR GUIDE AND SOURVE OF STRENGTH WHEN IT HETS TOUGH! See you all on the other side!!

    All is well! I have been able to keep down several Soups (non chunky) and Protein Shakes and fluids. No pain anymore. I have my 2 week post op appt on Monday. I am currently down 19 lbs since surgery. I am at a two day stall, so I told myself I will not look at the scale again until Monday and am only going to weigh myself once a week. I hear the stall is normal, but ya'll know how fun it is seeing the lbs come off and then when it suddenly stops it sucks. Non-scale victory. I put on jean shorts easily that i wasnt even able to get up over my hips at the beginning of summer! YAY

    I’m alive! Walked two laps. Went to the bathroom and I’m sitting up. My nurse is convinced I’m a rockstar. I want a drink really bad, but not till 6:45. Not bad so far.

    Hola! I made it to the Loser's Bench!!! My bypass went smoothly.

    Recovery (so far) has been manageable, and I'm grateful for that. I have talked/ laughed with family and friends, walked my hospital wing twice, and am now sitting in a chair in a sunny spot of my room getting ready to read a book.

    I am taking it hour by hour, and the past few hours have been good to me. I hope all the other July Losers are having a good day too [emoji4]

    Also doing great, nicely IV medicated for pain, nausea and gas. Ate 2 cups of ice chips to earn a popsicle, lol. Delighted with the care I'm receiving. Still bloated from surgery, but I did pack my biggest clothes for this probability.

    Hello! Leaving for the hospital in about 6 hours. I'm mostly excited, but a little anxious too.
    I'm pretty sure that most surgeons wanted the long holiday weekend off too! LOL

    Ok, y'all, my turn to post.
    I can't believe my surgery will be here in about 10 hours. I will spend tonight binge watching Law and Order SVU, packing my bag, taking my shower, and using my CHG wipes. I naturally overthink and panic about everything, but I'm trying to stay positive and just get through the next few hours by reminding myself why I started this journey years ago.
    Please send positive vibes my way and I'll post another update as soon as I'm feeling up to it.
    Thank you all for coming along on this crazy ride with me!

    Guys! It’s the day!!! Surgery this morning. 730am checkin eastern time! I’m a ball of nerves but so excited to restart my life.
    My bag is (almost) packed. CHG wipes, done! Bowel prep, done! Shaved the legs cause it’s gonna be awhile lol...patch is on the way! Oh and I have my future hubby by my side...
    AND.... I TOLD MY MOM!!! I was so nervous to tell her and she told me, she supports me no matter what and she was happy I am trying to feel better in all ways.
    That makes going into this, so much better.

    ALSO: why when I must be npo after midnight am I extremely thirsty... I can’t wait to start drinking again! Even if it’s an ounce at a time 😉
