Well then yesterday I passed out because of my heart issues and fell and broke my leg. I keep laughing at how absurd this is.

I just had my bypass on Monday and I plan on bringing a bunch of little one ounce containers with lids that I filled up and socialize and drink my dinner before they eat then head home when they eat. I made 64 one ounce containers filled with protein shake, protein fruit punch and protein chicken broth. That way I know how much I have to drink for the whole day. I have attached a photo. The photo was from

I survived my gastric bypass. I spent two nights in the hospital. Doing good on the clear liquid/protein drink diet. Dr wants 64 ounces of fluid per day so I purchased a bunch of 1 ounce plastic containers with lids and filled 74 of them and put them in my fridge and tomorrow I just have to grab 4-5 per hour and when all are done I am good. I am attaching a picture. I am bound and determined to be successful.

I’m 12 hours out from surgery. Or at least from having to be at the hospital. Having some protein broth. It’s actually pretty good it’s chicken soup flavored protein powder that you had to hot water. My doctor ok’d it for the pre surgery diet. Luckily my program only requires 2 days of liquid diet before surgery. They used to require the two weeks but claim studies have shown 2 days is enough. Still nervous as I said in my last post because I am high risk because I have kidney failure and heart failure but everyone cleared me for surgery. They do think I will have issues with infection and leaking because I am on chronic steroids. My highest weight was 509 pounds and my weight today is 399 pounds. I am 6 feet tall and my goal weight it ideally 180 but I will be happy at 200

I am a chronic pain pain patient and my pain specialist has ordered my pain meds every 4 hours for 10 days just in case.

Thank you. I know the doctor has said I may spend the night in ICU after surgery so I can be closely monitored but he is willing to do the surgery. I have kidney disease and the anesthesia may put me in temporary kidney failure and I have a heart block that needs a pacemaker but cardiology wanted to wait till after this surgery since it was already scheduled when we discovered the heart block when my heart paused for 5 seconds (they think it was a side effect of one of my medications)

My surgery is on Monday. I’ve started the clear liquid diet. I’m a little bit nervous because I’m high risk due to heart and kidney issues. But I’m excited.
