March Surgery Dates



Recommended Posts

12 hour post op and all is well. Right now my biggest pain is sore throat due to tube in throat durning surgery. Walking the halls ice chips have kept me going. Start liquid diet in 5 hours. Thanks for the well wishes. Woke up in the or after surgery to the surgical team singing me happy birthday. They had decorated my chart and gown with birthday stickers. It was nice.

That was so sweet of them! Good luck on your recovery!

Yes. Taking slow sips at a time. But doing Water mixed in with va splash(strawberry kiwi) and doing hot chocolate Protein mix that is hot too. With it being hot I think it helps get your tummy moving. Haven't passed gas or went number 2 yet but I have a feeling it will be soon. The tummy is the rumbling like it is coming soon lol

Me too! Tummy won't stop rumbling lol

Good for you Laurie! It is exciting and nerve wracking, but it will all fly by and you're going to be up and feeling great in no time. Keep us posted on your progress. Best of luck to you on Monday :)

I guess it's common to feel nervous!!.. If everyone else on here can do it, so can we :)

I started a little video diary today... It was a Little weird to talk to yourself, BUT it was suggested to me so I can follow my progress. It was pretty cool. Shared my worries and my goal... Something I can look back at and see my progression.

      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!!
