JoAnne - I am SO HAPPY to hear that you are home and feeling well. You make me laugh about the "wings" but I know exactly what you mean - you don't want to chance making the "wrong" decision (thinking it was gas when it wasn't.) The baby spoons and little dishes really help, in my opinion, to help you eat smaller bites and smaller portions. Keep us posted on your progress.

Hi my dear friends,

I am doing well! I will admit the first 30 hours after surgery were hard. I felt much better once I was able to take oral pain meds. I got home last night from the hospital, took a pain pill, and passed out. It's amazing what a day does make. I felt 95% better today, and it's only going to get better from here.

I love my "sippie" cups, baby spoons and bowls. (TMI section) Also, I need to watch out for any lower gas. I can't trust any! Thank goodness for "always with wings". They are lining the rear of all my undies.

I'm not weighing myself, since I was pumped full of fluids. However, I did loose 10 pounds during the pre-op. I was pretty happy with that!

Well, it's time to start walking around the house again. My family is on a mission to make sure I get my 10 minutes an hour in!

Thanks all for your thoughts, prayers and concerns. I will update more tomorrow.

Hugs,

JoAnne

Hello Joann,

I hope the past few day for you have only been better than the first 30 hours. I am glad that you are still posting on here. I will be glad to see some photos of you as you lose weight.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
