You ladies are doing GREAT!! I don't own a scale so I will have to give my weight after getting my drain tube out tomorrow. Today was the first day I've felt ok. Just ok. Lol. I still have to take my pain meds but I didn't feel like death warmed over. I actually was able to straighten up a little and cook dinner for my family. Now I am going to lay back and relax. I have someone coming to the house to give me a pedicure at 5pm and I can't wait!! I soooo need this but can't get to the shop.

Prayers for you preemie mommy. I sure hope all is well. I saw dr today. My dr did a hand assist and originally I saw a large bruise. Yesterday morning the area turned an angry red it was hot. And I worried about infection. The dr took one look and said bruise. I was relieved. I'm so glad I went to see the dr though. Better safe than sorry. I love my dr. He is chief resident surgeon at Good Sam and has the best bedside manner. Dr Kerlakian you are the BEST.

Hi ladies, doing well. They thought a possible blood clot. They gave me an ultra sound on my legs and chest ct. All turned out negative. I had shortness of breath and calves hurt. They chalked it up to dehydration. So everyone, sip sip sip. Thanks for the prayers!

      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!!
