Tomorrow is the day!



Recommended Posts

I can't believe that my surgery day is here. I am mostly excited and a bit of nervous worries. I hate IVs and I as m changing my body for the rest of my live. But change is for the better, right?!?! I have not cheated once on my preop diet. I lost 12.8 pounds this past week. I felt better than I have felt in a long long time.

I check in the hospital at 5:30 AM tomorrow. I will post as soon as I can after.

Cheers to a new me, you and 2015!

I am all hooked up. Just waiting for surgery. Oh. My. This. Is. Real.

Can't wait to wake up and start healing. It has been a long 9 months waiting for this.

Yesterday wasn't too bad. Today has been a bit more painful but so far I am keeping my fluids down nicely and my new pouch seems to be sore but doing ok. I get to go home soon!

Good for you, surgery buddy! Today has been a lot of ups and downs but it looks like I'll be able to go home tonight after dinner. So excited to sleep in my own bed!

I did get discharged last night about 7pm, and the first night home was really rough. Definitely the worst so far. But I'm up and around and doing well this morning, and at least I finally got some sleep.

@@anaxila, I got out at 5. It was a horrible night last night too. Way harder at home than the hospital. I had to sleep in a recliner because I couldn't lay flat on my bed. But today seems better. I did get lots of sleep last night. I am moving slow but getting around well. I have no interest in food but I will get my Protein Shakes down just to get the Protein in. We did it!

We did it!

That we did! How are you doing today? I had a bit of a rough spot when I drank too fast, but that was 15 minutes of good education on what NOT to do. I was having lots of gas issues (gurgling, burbling, making funny noises), but the spouse went out for gas-x and I was a million times better almost immediately. This evening has been really great - making some food, doing dishes, feeling almost normal. The pain is always there, particularly when I inhale deeply, but I'm still able to do so much more than I would have guessed when I was a puddled up weepy mess on Wednesday night. My body's capacity for healing feels miraculous today.

I got discharged last night, and I'm a tummy sleeper so at the hospital I could only sleep on my side so last night I slept on my tummy n was kinda sore. Today I just rested n got my fluids in. Can't wait to feel like my self again:)

Today felt like a big turn around for me. The last two nights have been really hard. I woke up last night dry heaving because of the gas. I got gas-x today too and it has helped greatly. I no longer need any pain meds. Yes I am still sore but today I was able to nap on my side, my preferred way to sleep. Tomorrow my goal is to start walking, not just around the house. I actually put on real clothes today. I have no appetite at all. I am struggling getting in enough fluids. One odd side effect for me has been a heightened sense of smell. I smell EVERYTHING like crazy. My family will eat away from me and I can smell each item on their plate.

Cheers to us! We did it girl! Now we just need to get over this hump and it will be great.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
