Hey Jody,

Sounds great!!! Have fun shopping!!! I've been told that I really need to "chill" or I could cause myself problems with my incision and healing. I brought several movies and books with me, so I'll try my best. Therefore it's up to you to keep the economy going for the next few days :wub::tongue::tt1:

I'll call you when I can and big hugs to you too!!!

Have a great day everyone!!!

Hi everyone,

I just got off the phone with Frangi. Of course you know she is doing wonderfully!! She said this one is more painful than the last but she sounded terrific! She went into surgery at about 9AM and woke up in recovery at 3PM. It took a bit longer than estimated but I am sure the results will be well worth it!!

I will keep everyone updated the MINUTE I hear from her in a day or two.

Thank goodness she is alright. Didn't really want to hear that the pain was worse though!

You know Frangi though, she said the pain was worse but still sounded wonderful!! The woman truly amazes me. :w00t:

Becky: hair is very cute. I especially like the color and you, fringe (bangs) are very in this year!

Okay, I'm stuck on the pain thing. I can't remember, if Frangi had muscle repair with her TT. Does anyone know? Cause, I'm hear to tell you that that was extreme pain! My ps is not ordering a pain pump for me this next go around, because it won't involve muscle. I hope the pain meds are good!

On another subject; I got a new hair do - less blonde and more bangs. What do you think?

Hi Becky -

Personally....I love the way your hair looks!:cursing: It truly enhances how "thin" your face really is.:w00t: It is wonderful!! I also just got a new cut and color. It is a good time for change!!:cool2:

Karey - Frangi told me that the morphine is helping but never mentioned a drip. If you want to give me specifics I can ask her when she calls again. She justs sounds terrific!!

Please pass on my best wishes to Frangi as well.

Karey - I had minimal muscle repair and had almost NO pain. My PS said the pain from the TT is mostly caused from muscle repair. She said with out the MR a TT is one of the least painful surgeries and I would agree. My lapband surgery was much more painful than my TT.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
