One day or should I said 19 hrs. Winds have taken out the other side of town this morning but just came back on. Winds are high gusts and been raining all night and day. But have received no notification from the hospital. I guess no news is good news.

I'd be a nervous wreck.....even more than I was. After all that waiting I hope you get your surgery and that everything is ok in your town. Good luck :-)

Hurricane Florence go back to,sea
stop,HASSELING. North Carolina and my friend Liz C . She needs her surgery and she needs it today
So,Hurricane Florence just stay awey.

At the hospital. Sit and wait. Everything is a go. ???

Please update us when the surgery is over One because Hurricane Florence is scary. All the. wind, water and storms. are upsetting. But second and more important, we worry about you. You, Liz C, are,much more important to us. Although I hope they use waterproof tape just in case.

I hope all is well with you and that you had your surgery...I’m also in NC we did pretty good from the storm, just lost 2 trees, no one or nothing was hit...

‘keep us posted on your recovery

Surgery went Great. Only got 3 holes the in the belly button can’t see it that much. I’m home now resting and walking. Worried about not getting enough fluids because I feel full. I’m afraid to drink to much and throw up. Since I heard my fellow VSleever in the next room loose it and in so much pain. But I’m going to stay strong and keep thinking of the bigger picture. Thanks you guys for checking in with me.

No Problemo @ Liz C, we love Ya Baby!??

Sorry for not staying in touch. Just so tried all the time but I keep pushing on. Worked a 2 half days, 2 days after surgery. I was so feeling it. I'm still having a hard time getting all the liquids in. Feel so full all the time. Now the burping is sometime I'm not use to. Thinking I should learn how to say the ABC's like the kids do. LOL Wanting to eat something so bad that I tried 2 tablespoon of Greek Yogurt with cinnamon and a pinch of honey. The cold is what hurts but letting it sit in my mouth to warm up helped. SOOO good. Still took me 15 mins to finish that, Takes me forever to finish protein shakes also. The scale says I have lost weight but my head and clothes says different. But I have to still keep my head in the game and think of the bigger picture. Target date Dec of 2019 my daughter's wedding. I'm going to find a Hot but Classy dress to wear! LOL

@Liz C

long, but this 6+ year VET/GOAL is worth it - ROFLMAO

not staying in touch"!! 1,000 whips with a wet noodle!! (carbs, carbs eek!!)

Glad you survived Florence and surgery went well.

burping LOL - i use to burp so loud my daughter in GA. could here me from Syracuse, NY LOL

I would TRY to stop eating as i was "approaching" being full.(before i burped) Hard to always

tell (judge) when to stop. It's like asking someone on a bus "what stop do i get off for X street".?

He says, "watch me and get off one stop earlier" LOL

Don't push yourself - if you're too tired, (and you can afford time off from work) be easy on

yourself. I read in your other post you are walking 2-3 miles a day!! That's great if you are

feeling ok. But you don't have to walk that much. Walking is great to do any time - take it slow -

if your body says no, no, no, stop i'm hurting - STOP . even though you are walking over

3X period - you sound too tired. don't overdue!! Take a nap, rest - pamper yourself!!

you are worth it. Take yourself off that back burner.

As far as yogurt (even only two tablespoons) you shouldn't experiment before the proper time.

IE before you are supposed to go onto the next phase of eating. pureed', mush, soft, solids.

Ok, end of well meaning lecture

don't concentrate on the # on the scale - you will go crazy. Take your measurements periodically,

and you will see, feel the change in your clothes. Everything takes time

thinking of the bigger picture - great attitude to have!!

I see you were born on Valentines' day!! How sweet is that!! LOL

December 2019 - daughters wedding day - you will look amazing - that dress is a great goal to

look forward too

good luck newbie

Thank you for your reply, proudgrammy. Love your stats, that gives me hope. You took it off and are keeping it off. Proud of you! So glad I found this site. Only have one person to talk to for advise the others don't understand. Yesterday I just had my first appointment with my NEW family doctor. So grateful to find a doctor who understands this process, knows what to look for and does not think it's the easy way out. Again Thank you!
