friday when i came home i managed to got 33 oz of liquid and 34 g of protien and then yesterday i consumed 70 oz of liquid and 48 g  of protien... and doing well today i might add... I find that if i mix the tube of profect with a bottle of water it tastes quite good... and I find i really like the creamed soups.

no problems so far with things going down and nohing has come back up *knock on wood*

so i missed a few posts between here and there but i had Lap RNY on feb 21st.  I am feeling great.  

On wednesday i had the last appointment so i arrived at barix with my mom and boyfriend at 12:30... only to wait in pre op till about 3:30 for surgery.. I was completely fine up until they said ok so were ready for you.. and of course I was a little emotional ... excited but emotional! they gave me a sedative (it was great) and then i woke up in recovery, in a fare amount of pain.  The pain was considerable for about three hours and then the morphine started to really work and i was feeling better. I did my first walk 4 hours after returning to my room.. I did two laps around my first time out! yay! then they woke me up alot to do all of my breathing excercises... i just wanted to sleep!  Cody and mom were there all day and my dad came around 9pm and he and cody left around 10:30pm.  They let my mom stay the night, which was very nice.  While i was waiting in pre-op one of the nurses asked if she was staying and of course our answer was no as it was there policy not to have anyone stay.  the nurse said that she able to stay if she followed some sules.. silly rules that i cannot believe people actually broke..lol.. like keeping her clothes on, not using patient showers... i mean really stuff you should not be doing to begin with.  so my mom stayed both nights with me which was nice.. and i kept in touch with everyone, seeing as we were allowed to have our cell phones with us.  the staff ewas wonderful... pre-op and post op I could go on and on about how much i loved everyone at barix, very suportive and understanding.. just amazing staff.  More than i ever expected.. 

i will try to post with a little more detail later.. just a little tired now.. :)

so my mom and i have been speaking with Dr.Kam and Tracey his receptionist... and we are trying our best to get in for next week as windsor did not fax my results over till thursday afternoon, which was rediculous in the eyes of everyone that we sopke with at barix b/c it does not take long to read a CT scan ... anyeho so i was bumped out of my tentitive spot and i am just crossing my fingers thay someone has to cancel for what ever reason and that i can continue with surgery as planned for next week, as for having it march 7 which was his alternate date it is almost impossible with school doable but if there is any complications and he has to convert to open then i will not be able to return to school and therefore my year would kind of be at a loss.... so i am uo in the air as to what i shall do.  at this point i am going to sit it out and see what occours next week... if not it may be march and if not in march late may...???? i am just one big question mark at this moment!

ok so... you know how i got all excited about having a date for next week... well throw it right out the flippin' window!  cause i'm not now.. b/c stupid windsor didn't send the CT confermation to Dr.Kam yet! and well having a cancellation today because of the weather he had to schedule someone in my tentative date... you know why are they so so slow here in canada it takes like a whole 15 minutes to go through a CT scan! and then all they have to do is send a little fax his way ... GRRRRR... so now i have a new date march 7th and if anything opens up next week then its mine... ut until then here i sit and cry ... i guessI have to look on the bright side i supposibly have only the hemigioma on my liver and it isn't blocking anyhting .. so i must keep thinking positive ... as much as i can.. i shall pray that someone has to cancel! lol... i have that whole week off of class for spring break and i took work off and everything!
