Well, I'm doing really well. I still feel pulling when I stand up and I lose my breath easily.
I'm not really in any pain and everything is moving now.
I still have a problem sleeping. For some reason I just don't feel tire... the kind of tire that makes you sleep, not to be confused with tiring easily LOL. I still do tire easily when I stand in one spot. I'd actually rather keep moving.

The nutritionist from the clinic  called this afternoon to see how I was doing.  I'm pretty much getting all my fluids and I'm really close to reaching my protein goals.  She's pretty happy with that.  I'll tell ya thought, drinking all that is a full time job.
She said purees are easier but I still need 64oz of fluids. Ha, how can that be easier.

Today is a good day so far. I've been up and sorting laundry. I must admit, I didn't want to do it, but my hubby is getting a cleaning crew in here to clean and I didn't want them getting near my laundry so I sorted myself. Dan's doing the lifting I'm just doing the sorting and running the machines.  I find it took quite a lot out of me.
Now I'm just resting and drinking my fluids. I have a big mug the clinic gave me. I'll get my fluids in if I drink 2 mugs, so I have one going with water and I'm also working on a 28 liquid oz can of veggie soup which I added a scoop of protein to bulk it up. I'm trying to think of what I can have now. I'm already getting bored.

I've been trying to write this post all day. Seems every time I start, I get distracted then get to tired.
So here we go one more time.
I had my RNY on Monday, November 10 at about 1pm. I returned to my room about 4.  I remember whining my belly hurt, and it did, but I was so out of it that I just don't remember. 
My friend Kim was there with me, and I had a special visitor, our very own Sheila, or MaTrix. 
I was awake about every half hour. I just couldn't sleep... Not that I was in pain, but every half hour I slept felt like 4 hours.  The nurses came in about every 2 hours to work with me on my breathing exercises. That was a pain in the butt.  I would get up as often as I could and walk around the floor.  They wanted me to walk, but I did it often enough on my own that they never asked me to walk.
On Tuesday, I went down and had an xray to see if I had a leak. They told me they didn't think I did even before the xray because I'd be in so much pain if I had. I had to wait 5 hours for the doctor to read the results. Then I was given a prevacid which made me feel nauseous and my first food try which didn't sit well either. 
My blood pressure rose quite high and I needed meds to bring it down. My face was beet red and bloated.  I gained 14 pounds overnight from all the liquid they pumped in me. 
Yesterday I was doing good. I was up, they took out my IV and I was able to shower and dress in my own clothes. I waited for my ride then I was off to home.
Last night I was good, glad to be home.
Today I'm feeling even better although my muscles feel a bit tender. After all they did cut into them so it's to be expected.

Everything turned out good., The pain wasn't as bad as what I'd had imagined and if the results are what I expect, I'd do  it again in a heartbeat.

Well, it's here.  Tomorrow morning is my surgery. I'm more excited then I am nervous.  I know everything will be ok.

I've been on clear fluids all day and and I'm starving.  We stopped at Dairy Queen on our way home from the tournament, and that's really when I realzed that this is it, my eating days are now over. OVER! 
I looked at the menu and so wanted everything on it.  So I guess I'm in morning over the food.

By this time tomorrow, it'll be all over.
Can't wait to report back with all the news.

I leave in an hour or so to Grand Bend where my son Reilly will be playing in a hockey tournament. 
I'll be back on Sunday. The same Sunday I'll be drinking clear fluids only.
Then Monday morning I'm off to surgery.
