February/March 2014 sleevers

[Jencovi 261]

I'm getting a bit nervous now. Just for the anesthesia part. I get super sick from it. I keep getting emotional too. I know I'll be okay. Just scared for my baby girl if things don't go well.

At this time tomorrow, I'm hoping I'm waking the halls and not throwing up. Fingers crossed

Hopefully you get to meet with your anesthesiologist and tell them about previous experiences. I have had multiple surgeries and a different complication or weird reaction to the anesthesia. I got to talk to my anesthesiologist before surgery. This time I had a hard time waking up, which I have had before. But I didn't get nauseas and vomit everywhere and I didn't come out unable to breathe on my own (anesthesia caused a partially collapsed lung when I had my band placed in 2009). I will take the struggling to wake up over being violently ill after abdominal surgery. I am making up for it with long walks outside and also trying to walk around the island in my parents kitchen every time I get up because I didn't get out of bed (except to pee twice) for at least 24 hours after surgery. Just making sure I keep that blood moving!

Keep us updated. I'm wishing you all the best and know you will pull through beautifully!

WOW walked a mile. Congrag!!!!!

How many days are you out of surgery now?

I am four days out now? Do you count the day you had surgery? Lol. I had surgery Thursday. I already have two girlfriends coming over tomorrow since they have the day off and hubs doesn't and we are all going walking together. I can't wait until I'm cleared to go back to the gym!

I dont count the day of surgery. Your doing great. Hopefully I'll be saying the same thing Thurs.

Just get moving ASAP. I have had quite a few surgeries and walking has always been my savior!

Wow that was a bad experience you had. I'm glad all is ok w/you.

I'll post when I get back to my room tomorrow evening or when ever I can.

Oh yes they make us get out of bed a few hours after going to our room and then make you walk every 2 hrs. Everyone says walking is the best thing. I'll be walking the halls this time tomorrow night. Be glad when it's over.

Feb 25 here! Getting nervous and feeling a bit depressed. Is that normal? The depressed part?

I think the depression is totally normal. The combo of experiencing a major life change and having a hard time knowing how things will be when you come of surgery is a lot to take! I saw on another thread that one woman's surgeon told her his patients have been depressed all through the first month post-op.

Try to focus on positive thoughts. Why did you decide to do this? What are you looking forward to most after surgery? Imagine yourself thinner, healthier and in different clothes. Doing that definitely helped ease my anxiety. Also, if you have to do the liquid diet, that doesn't help. Lol. It makes you hungry and irritable and exacerbates any concerns you may have. Just try to stay busy and direct your mind to happy thoughts. It makes a huge difference.

Oh girls. Tonight has been an epic fail on trying new stuff. Haha

I tried the Soups my doc sells. Terrible. I tried the strawberry Protein powder. Terrible. The only thing that turned out is that I bleached my hooker roots, and it went as it usually does. Though it should since I'm licensed and stuff. Hah.

I think it's absolutely normal to have some depression. We've been through a lot. To me, it's depressing knowing I need surgery to make this change actually work long term. But I'm excited that there is a way to change my metabolism and jump start my weightloss.

That sucks. What soups were they?

I made my New Direction broc n cheddar Soup with home made chicken stock that was seasoned deliciously. It was so good.

Thank goodness your hooker roots are gone. Thought we were gonna have to change your name into a hooker name. Like "Cinnamon" or something.

They were ProtiDiet soups. Tomato and creamy chicken. The tomato was awful and pink, and the creamy chicken wasn't awful, but I'm not sure I could handle it. I'm just bummed cause they have 15g of Protein. I was so surprised, since the concentrate stuff is so good. Bahahahahahaha. That gave me a good lol. Cinnamon. Ha!

Omg. I'm sorry. That stinks.

At least you got your hooked roots under control! Gotta show them who's the head bitch.

Bummer about the Soup and powder. I know how much it sucks to invest in those and hate them. Maybe you can re-sell the powder on Craigslist? People will buy anything off CL, even your hooker roots!

[Sarahjane79 397]

I'm gonna ask about normal (heart healthy stuff) Tomato Soup tomorrow. I have to go to the doc anyways to get some Protein Powder and stuff.

Yeah. The hooker roots have been driving me crazy for a few weeks. But I wanted to wait as long as possible, so I'd not have to worry for a bit after surgery. I imagine it won't be fun raising yay arms above my head for more than a Shampoo won't be fun for a minute. Hah.

And it's okay! Thankfully it was just samples and I didn't buy a box of the stuff. I was just bummed it was so bad because I'm not such a fan of adding Protein powder to soup.

I'm doing well, still excited. Lol, like Jen, I'll pack my bags tomorrow. At the last minute. Haha

Be careful! You have further to travel than I did. And I was too out of it to care about my phone or iPad. I just wanted to sleep. So I bought an extension cord just for the stay and it didn't get touched until I got home Friday night. Lol.
