I'm starting to worry. I was told the hospital would call me with my arrival time today, not now it's 4pm and I haven't heard from anyone about Monday. Not even sure who I should call to ask [emoji22]

I just got home, 2 1/2 he drive. Uggh, felt every bump. I had those medicine cups at home already. Feeling very weak but I am determined to walk to the end of the street and back today. It's already 4 pm, just have to sit a rest a bit.I don't have the Protein Water yet but I have almost everything else.Thank goodness I bought almost everything I need before hand, cannot imagine hitting the grocery store on a Friday!
Just made some herbal tea, husband ran out to pick up all my meds at the pharmacy. Just glad to be home, even if I am sleeping in the sofa recliner![emoji12]

I know how you feel. It's been a somewhat rough day with out all the hospital pain meds. I've only walked about 1.5 miles. Low energy plus I seemed to get winded pretty quickly.

I found protein Waters online and at the grocery before surgery. There's no way I want to be out shopping right now.

Give it a few days and we will be kicking butt on this weight loss!

I feel like I am having to put too much effort into meal/liquid/protein planning. I'm just not hungry and it seems if I don't think about what I need I might be missing opportunities to get down what I need. It's quite exhausting to be thinking about it constantly.

Could not have said it better. It's very exhausting pre-planning!
Well you have an awesome evening! Great having a surgery buddy![emoji4]

@vanwest83 Did you get the hospital worked out? How did it go?

@TheNewMrsR and @sunshinetinks Saying prayers you feel better today ladies! I tried the PremProt fruit Punch and to me it tasted so close to the old full throttle Hawaiian Punch with very little aftertaste. My nut said they make great popsicles. I picked some up at Sam's yesterday and will try making 3oz popsicles. They can replace the sipping on fluids temporarily!

@Luisajfc How's your cold this morning? Are the fam hanging in there? Any word from insurance?

I found a bunch of YouTube vids about cooking pureed foods and cooking after bariatrics, but a lot annoyed me cuz they look like they are eating WAY too much food. I want to be sure to try to stick to the volume guidelines given to me by the RD so I don't stretch my pouch. Dr. Duc Vuong says the way to stretch your pouch is by eating just 1 bite too many over the course of a year or two. Crap! I don't want that to be me!

I am hanging in today. Finally slept a full 5 hrs but woke up with some kind of cold or virus. Feeling very weak. Drinking is a struggle but I keep trying. This is really tough. Forced myself to walk about a block today, even though it's really cold today. Hoping I do not get a fever. Thanks for your kindness.

@sunshinetinks ((hugs)) sweetie. Sorry to hear about the virus. Be sure to use your spirometer and get those fluids in!!!

[1badassbiggurl 218]

We're the same day! Best of luck!!!

Same to you! I just want to hurry up and get this over. I’m schedule to work Monday I decided to work to keep my mind busy; but now I’m second guessing that decision

The rest is better than me.. I️’ve been lacking on my sleep cuz my two year old gets congested so what I️ do is lay him on my stomach ... so the pressure is not there .. and he gets desperate trying to breath .. I place pillows but he just slides down.... but I️ think I️ feel worse do to the period. 🤬🤬 and no call .. is been a week already. Aren’t you gonna call? Yours is closer than mines. How you been btw!?

Good morning all! Have had a good weekend. Lots of muscle spasms/soreness from the first PT visit on Friday. Eeeek! Am I out of shape! Yesterday. I'm ready to get this show on the road. I do not like Limbo Land!

@Luisajfc So glad you're feeling better, but dayum. I've no idea how you guys raise kiddos. LOL. I totally get the tired and wanting to just lay on the couch after being sick. So sorry your little one has had a tough go with the congestion at night. It always gets worse in the afternoons/evenings!

I'm crossing my fingers we will both hear from the doc/insurance early this week! I see the surgeon again on Thursday...

Hope you feel better! I should be doing PT too.. but i figured that with my weight it would be a waste of time.. so im waiting to loose some pounds and do the deed.

Lol and i don’t know either about how mothers do it, i guess it’s genetic cuz not all can be A mother. Lately news refresh my brain to the idea that not all woman should be born with a uterus. [emoji20] kids shouldn’t suffer. Let me change the subject it’s getting depressing.

Well ... Fluffy should i call ? [emoji848]

@Luisajfc Why not wait another day or two? Agreed! Not everyone should be allowed to be a parent!! I figured re: PT, that it couldn't hurt. You know? I am so weak and I hope it might help me prepare for surgery. After surgery will be a new year (hopefully) and I will ask to have therapy again. To further heal and build strength!

OMG, they had me balance on a 3in thick memory foam mat with one foot heel to toe in front of the other. And I couldn't balance! My best was like 11 seconds! I've known I had balance issues from chemo, and have fallen a few times, but thought I'd improved. Clearly, I have not. Oh well. Everyone has to start somewhere!!! I think for you now being so close to surgery and not having an order for it or have had intake, you should wait until post-surg. Then do it for sure when you're cleared to resume exercise!

((hugs)) Hope you've had a better weekend and Auntie Flo is gone for the next month!!

16 hours till I leave for the hospital! I've been on a clear liquid diet today. I've been keeping busy cleaning my house. I'm very nervous, haven't been put under in over 10 years.
