Very nervous n Super Excited!

Thank you for the prayers ladies..makes me feel peace.

I'm waiting for hubby to come from work, but I think im just going to tell him to go straight home...since I want him to come early in the morning...is 11:19 pm NYC.

Im still at the ER..no rooms available yet...

The noise is incredible!! I haven't been able to sleep for a second :/

And ladies I cant wait for all of this to be over, and go home to try the coffee creamers with the protein shakes lol...

Gn. I will update tomorrow.

Ladiesss Im homeee!!!!

Well I actually left the ER without being discharged... and I dont care..I know for sure they already charched my insurance...

I praise God!!! Cuz everything went extremely great!...thank God!

They didn't put a tube (extent) in like he though, instead he he dilated my stomach with a ballon..

It took 30 minutes under propofol lol

When I woke, they did another upper GI test...and i saw my stomach looking a lot wider but not exactly the size he want it to be...but he said, that during the week is going to continue to dilate on its own...

So far ice cubes, clear soup, and waterelon went down fine..im just a bit scared, that I think that im going to feel the restriction again.

Dr. wanted me to spend the nite at the hospital, but I couldn't spend another night at the ER...I been waiting for 29 hours for room and nothing, they said surgery department upstairs is full..but for me took keep waiting, on a stretcher, with so much noise, all the lights on and people screen all the time....I didn't slept at all last night..and I wasn't going to do the same thing tonite..without taking a shower eww..

The Dr. wants me in another week of full liquids...

Im exhausted..but extremely grateful of my Jesus..

thank you to my Dr. too, he was extremely concern...

Thank you ladies for praying for me

God is good.

Yay MJM! Glad everything went so well!!! God is good! Sleep good you need it.

Yay so incredibly glad it's better praying that it continues to dilate.

MJM, so glad your doctor tried the dilation! I hope this will be the end of it for you. God is so good!

The Almond Joy creamer is made by Internatioal Delights. SO good!

One thing I'm so amazed about is my indifference to junk food. DH brought home Pinwheel cookies, and I had no desire at all for even a tiny bite. That kind if stuff doesn't sound good to me at all. I sure hope this continues!

Have a good Sunday tomorrow!

Thank you ladies...

since I got home yesterday...everything that I have drank, had go down easily....n haven't throw up in 2 days..thank you thank you Lord!

Just a headache....I think my stomach is like oh no liquid diet again lol

Im not hungry...my stomach is lol

Yay MJM!

Toofluffy your so funny about the cookies. I layed down the law and said no more cookies in this house ever again. I am so afraid of dumping! I sure hope my year continues.

How's everyone doing?

MJM, glad you got home. Hope you're doing well.

I Lost only a pound last week. Not feeling discouraged but will go see my nut again this week! Haven't worked out, think I got plantar fasciitis. Gotta see podiatrist too!!! ????

Oh my gosh that is so painful! I went to a specialized she store and spent $350 on soles. It was the best $ I ever spent.

MJM, so glad you're doing better. How long will you have to be on the liquid diet?

Dlm, for some reason, I don't crave sweets at all. Not sure how I would do if chips were in the house, though!

Doneganregime, my scales stayed the same for 6 days, then dropped 5.8 pounds quickly. From what I've read, that seems common. I've had problems with plantars fasciitis too, and it's no fun. Make sure your arches are supported at all times. Mine was brought on by using the treadmill. Go figure!

I called my nutritionist today, to ask if I should be monitoring carbohydrates. She said no, not in till about six months out. Just make sure I'm getting liquids, and plenty of Protein.

Have a good Tuesday!

Has anyone started soft foods yet? Whatcha eating?

Toofluffy. I'm glad your nut said that about carbs lol I has about 1/4 cup today of mashed potatoes and was concerned about it! I lost 2 pounds this week. I'm having so much trouble getting protien down food and water. I know it will get better though. Wonderful times in store for all of us!

Dlm- wow that seems like a lot of money for inserts haha. Guess I'll see what the doc says.

Toofluffy- I use the treadmill more than the elliptical. I think that's where this started.

Soft diet - eating tuna, tilapia, salmon, cottage cheese, refried Beans, canned chicken, THEN veggies (small amount), canned fruit (small amount). I eat my Protein first usually chicken or tuna or fish ...... then top it with salsa and/or fat free cottage cheese. Laughing cow Swiss cheese - 2g of protein and delish too! There's a soft food thread on here I've looked at!!! :-)

MJM, thanks. What are you eating? I talked to a vet today - gonna focus more on fluids and protein than trying to eat soft foods. Gonna aim for 70g a day.

Hello ladies..

Im doing great thank God...everything is going down fine...

So last Monday I was 241.....

And today I was 250 lol

How in the world..im eating like air n nothing lol

I wont stress.... It will have to come down one way or another!

In another note, I went to see my cardiologist today...and he lowered my blood pressure medication from 120 mg to 60 mg...yayyy....

Thank Jesus...

Donegan whats plantar fasicitis??
