I had my lap band out on April 18th and they were supposed to do the bypass, but they weren't able to due to scar tissue. I saw my surgeon today and all should be a go for June! Yay!!!! RNY here I come!!!

OMG just found my new favorite thing. Vanilla protein powder in coffee. Just like a latte! I know I'm not the first to try this, but I'm super excited. LOL

I miss my excedrin, too!

Trying some room temp crystal light again. Keeping about half if it down. Going to try some tea once it cools off a bit. Anything hot or cold seems really irritating. Burping up a storm still. Ugh.

Hey everyone! Here is another june round up! Good luck and prayers for our buddies going in this week! You can do it! Stay positive!!! <3

Good luck to everyone this week!!

I have loved reading what all of you who had surgery last week are going through; it is really preparing me for my surgery in a few weeks. I had a question for you all: what was the one thing that surprised you the most or wished someone told you before going in?

Is it true dairy can have a calming effect on the stomach? I'm wondering if I should try a little protein powder with milk if it does. These spasms are for the birds.

The drain bulb that you come home with. It really slows you down and makes everything on your right side uncomfortable. And you have to empty it twice a day. UGH!

I wish someone would have shared with me how EXHAUSTED this surgery leaves you. I have had a few surgeries and I was always able to get up and moving within a day or two. I am still dragging and I am almost a week out. This is worrying me because I had planned on going back to work next Wednesday. I am going to try and make it through today without any hard pain meds. I have been taking them regularly, every 8 hours, since I got home. I think the meds are contributing to my sleepiness. I just have an overall feeling of "blah" that I haven't experienced in the past. Just make sure you have adequate time to heal up.

Just how tired you get doing ordinary activities. I went out with my family yesterday for about 2 hours. When I got home I was so tired I took a two hour nap.

Well I have 10 days left Til surgery and I am sooooo worried that my liver will be to large to have the surgery. I've been on this liver shrink diet three weeks but I have messed up a few times like last night I ate chips and salsa at the Mexican restaurant and last week I had low sugar ice cream every night and I've had sandwiches for lunch instead of salad for a few days.. I have messed up so bad the last week and I'm nervous my liver won't be small enough. :-(

Had mine June 5 th as well so glad it's over and I can feel a bit better good luck to all!!
