Today was my first Post Op check up.  I have lost a total of 27 lbs that is including the 2 weeks pre op liquid diet.  (One month).

Everything is going great!  I am amazed that I am not hungry.  I have to remember to eat.  The good news is I don't have any problems (for now) with any food at all.  

I have had a little trouble with heartburn.  Dr. told me to take pepcid once a day to help. 

All in all, I'm doing great!  I need to start exercising more.

I went shopping yesterday and got tired really fast.  I got the things I needed. I am stronger today. And for the first time since my surgery, I'm hungry!

Tomorrow, I get to have some yogurt and creamed soups.  Can't wait!  I'm planning on going back to work tomorrow.  I hope things go well.

Today I am two days post op and starting to feel a little better.  My surgery was on the 12^th and I got really sick from the anesthesia.  I was sick all during my recovery.  I went home the same day. I slept most of the day.  I have been walking around and trying to get stronger. 

Today I hope to walk around outside a bit.  It is supposed to be warm here.

  Dec. 6, 2007Today I attended another seminar and this time I decided to have the surgery to help me with all my medical problems. Unfortunately my insurance still will not pay for this surgery, but I am willing to invest the money, because I am confident that this will help me live a longer life.

Dec. 21, 2007  Today I had my psychiatric evaluation. 

Dec. 28, 2007  I got the results for my psych test and found that I am "NOT CRAZY"! Imagine that! LOL. She did say that I showed signs of mild Anxiety! Wow, she should have seen me after Christmas! LOL 

Jan. 4, 2008  Today I got a call from the Dr’s office. They have set up my 1st consultation for Feb. 1, 2008. That seems like a lifetime away right now, but I will be patient. I am so ready to start feeling better. 

Feb. 1, 2008  I went for my appointments today.  I found out that I have small hernia.  My insurance will pay for that, but will not pay for anything related to the surgery.  I sure hope things go smoothly! 

Feb. 18, 2008  Today I went to my first support group.  I found that I have to give myself a shot everyday for 1 week.  That ought to be fun.  

Feb. 25, 2008  Day 1 of my pre-op liquid diet.  Today was ok, I did get hungry but I survived.  It's amazing how much you think about food.  I try to keep myself busy so I don't think about it that much.About 8:30pm I got a horrible headache.  Not sure if it was lack of caffeine or not.  

Feb. 26, 2008  Day 2 on pre-op diet!I woke up this morning feeling very sick.  Diarrhea and HEADACHE!!!  Sick at my stomach.  Good news, I wasn't hungry!  LOLI took my Migraine meds and the headache went away.  I know the meds have caffeine in them, but my head hurt so bad, I wasn't able to go to work today.  By noon, I was feeling better.  Stomach still upset, but no Diarrhea.

Today I had my pre op appointments.  Everything went well. It's still a go for March 12th.  I'm still on my liquids and veggies.  Man I miss my "MEAT"!  LOL
