Surgery time
Sep 18, 2012
Well yesterday was my surgery.... Very painful I must say however today is day two and I am doing much better... Only had to have pain meds twice today. I had a test this morning to see how everything is flowing and so far so good so I was able to graduate from ice chips to liquids then later to a clear liquid protein coctail...... Took maybe 3 sips and was doing fine then about a half hour later took another sip and look out I thought I was going to get sick, my stomach starting turning and the pain and heartburn came...... Oh what a terrible feeling. So my nurse brought me some pain, nausea, and heartburn meds.... Now I feel better but still have the heartburn and havent been able to tolerate the protein yet..... Maybe later I will try again... My Doctor came in earlier tonight and said it looks like I can go home tomarrow yippee... Then I go home and take it easy in my recliner and little by little get better until I go back to work.

First day of Pre-Op diet
Sep 15, 2012
Today is the first day of my Pre-Op diet, so far so good except I'm feeling hungry. I'm trying not to think about it by having my grandson here to occupy my time but the food is still calling my name lol
I don't know about any of you on here but I decided to have one "Last Supper" as I call it lastnight and I made home made fajitas with veggies I grew in my garden and spanish rice and a decaf iced coffee. Later after I went to bed I woke up with horrible pain in my stomach and spent half the night in the bathroom... Not a pleasant experience, guess that will teach me to over eat :( I just wanted to be able to have what ever I wanted and not feel guilty about it HA the joke was on me.
On a brighter side my system is empty so I look at it as a blessing in disguize... I'm gettin a fresh start on my new life :)
I have to tell you tho that yesterday when I was at the Bank, my grandson asked me if I had that thing done yet with my stomach and it was so cute how he said it, I told him no but I was going in on monday to have it done. He told me that he didn't want me to get skinny because I am his pillow, he loves laying on me and listening to my stomach and heart beat, I told him he will still be able to do that when grandma is skinny too, everything will still be there for him to listen to. Kids are so cute sometimes :)

Pre-Op
Sep 06, 2012
Just got back about a half an hour ago from having my Pre-Op. My cousin went with me so I didn't have to go alone.... I have to drive over 2 hours to my Dr's and the Hospital... I still have a lot of confusion but still ready to go ahead with the surgery. 11 days left before surgery :)

Counting down the days.....
Sep 04, 2012
As of yesterday I have 2 weeks left before my VSG surgery... It feels like just yesterday when in actuality it has been several months since I have decided to have this surgery... I am getting nervous yet anxious. One of my co-workers just had the same surgery done 2 weeks ago yesterday (we decided to do this together) and she is down 24 lbs now.... She said that it is very emotional for her.... I'm afraid that it will be for me as well but I'm not letting that stop me.... My boyfriend is very supportive and I know he will be there for me every step of the way. On Thursday I will be having my Pre-op, not sure what all that will bring for me.
