Recommended Posts

I go in for surgery on Monday you guys!! Yes!!!! I am soooo nervous and excited! My surgery is scheduled for 6am. I am the first on the surgery schedule!

I guess it helps to be an employee and have friends in surgery(wink). My mom says thatI should not be nervous(she is a nurse) because this is something that I want very much I say anesthesia is scary! LOL I am so glad that I have yall for support!. I stopped by the nutritionalist's office and purchased my Protein drinks. The name is PROTI MAX they taste really good! Well please keep me in your prayers and thoughts on Monday at 6am. I know that you all will be there with me in spirit. Thanks!! I love you guys!!!

Congrats!

Something that might help you with the anesthesia part is telling the anesthesiologist the truth about your fear. I did and it went a lot smoother, he was extra nice to me and told me everything he was going to do.

C-ya on the losing team! :)

DEE DEE: Good luck and everything will be just fine. I will say an extra prayer for you that morning. Aren't you excited though? I know I was the day of my surgery. I was also slightly nervous as well. Then I woke up and all was well.

HUGS DEE DEE

      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.

      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!!
