August 2013 Roll Call



Recommended Posts

Hey Tina! Nope I was discharged Saturday! How about yourself? I tried to walk to much today and was hurting all night so just been hanging out in bed since I had it done! How you feeling?!?

I get sleeved on the 14th. My biggest fear is the mental desire to eat things just bc I recall how good they taste. Have your desire or cravings for food vanished?

I have the Hosp preop today including the class, praying it all goes well.

Congrats on doing so well :)

Doing my pre-op testing right now at the hospital, and so far already registered for my surgery so don't have to fill anything out that day, blood work and labs done, waiting on respiratory and mri tests, ekg, and endoscopy then can go home to start my liquid diet! Very anxious and my stomach is upset from stress but at least I'll be done with my pre-op stuff and after my 2 week liquid diet, it'll be surgery day!

I know, it's so very real right now. I'm doing everything I need to for my sleeve. My stomach is a need, but I'm actually feeling calmer than I have in a few days. Everyone here at the hospital had been friendly and super sweet and encouraging, so that helps. Good luck Dee! Keep us posted, and I'll do the same! :)

      My focus the past year has been on adopting healthier habits and getting back into fitness and nutrition.

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!
