Another new day

May 18, 2007

Haven't updated in a while so here we go!  Went for my surgery follow up with my doctor.  The appointment was at 2:45 and I watched everyone in the room go back to be examined and then leave.  finally at 4:30 went to the counter and asked how much longer only to find out they had forgotten about me and the doctor had left for vacation! LOL this seems to be the story of my life...C'est La vie!  Anyway got to see his nurse and the nurses boss and I can start foods now! I have learned that I need to weigh once a week or something because I started food and gained weight which shook me up even though I knew to expect it!  But overall doing well, need to learn to listen to my body better and put the food away when I know I am full and not think "Oh just one more bite"  I do recommend Sam's Chicken Meatballs though They are GREAT!!!!  Hugs til next time

Well today is the day and boy am I nervous!  I can't sleep and so I am going to talk to you before its time to get ready to head to the hospital.  Tried to go to bed early last night and ended up not falling asleep for several hours,then woke up real early so  I probably have like 3 or 4 hours sleep.  But hey, I can sleep later right!  LOL  Have already been on liquids for 48 hours and will be on them for another 2 weeks before going to the next phase ( course I know y'all have been there done that!) Hopefully these cravings go away.  I know I can do it but rigt now it just feels really hard.   Thank you to all of you that have sent me your best wishes!!!!!!  When I get home I will let everyone know how it went!  Love and Godbless!!!!


Getting ready for surgery

May 01, 2007

Well here we are a few days before surgery....well closer to a week but after my wait this seems like a few days! LOL Anyhow, I am ready for it, still a  little nervous.  I think my mom is worse than I am, she has called to tell me to make out my will (gee thanks mom) and has now infomed me that she will come stay the weekend with me before the surgery plus the week of.  I know she is trying to be supportive and I try to be positive about it but its difficult at times.  Eating a few of my favorite foods before they are not allowed any more and preparing myself for the new me.  Do any of you have any pointers for me?  Will go for now.
