Surgery update
on November 6, 2008 1:07 pm

Sorry I have not updated before now. I have lost 35 pounds since I started my 2 week pre-op diet!

My surgery went well, It took about 3 hours and they also took out my gall bladder. I had a lot of drainage the first 2 times I got out of the bed Tuesday so they put me on bed rest. One Wednesday I had my swallow test and everything was fine so I was able to sip a few ounces of water, that was the best thing to happen. My throat was so dry it was great to be able to swallow water.

I was able to come home on Thursday. The pain was worse than I thought it might be, but the pain meds helped.

It has been a lot harder to get my protein and water in. I knew it would be hard but did not know it would be this hard.

This has been the best thing I have done, my only regret is that I waited this long to have my RNY.

Today is my last day on solid foods before WLS!
on October 18, 2008 7:45 am
I have been n the pre-op diet for 10 days now. Tomorrow I start a liquid diet for the 2 days before my surgery. I can not believe how fast the time has gone!! It seemed so far off now its just a few days away.

I have surprised myself on the diet. I have stayed on it except for two olives I had one night. In the back of my mind I keep saying I would love to go out to eat tonight, maybe get some crab cakes, cheese cake, but then I keep telling myself this is getting me ready for the next chapter in my life on eating right and getting my weight off and keeping it off.

I am ready for the new adventure that is about to start!

9 days to go
on October 12, 2008 10:29 am
I can not believe that 9 days from now I will be out surgery! I can't believe how fast the time has flown. The pre-op diet is going well, have not had anything that I was not to eat. The nut chewed me out when I had gained 10 LBS since I saw her 5 months ago. Said I had to follow the diet to the T, so thats what I have been doing. I am uping my walking every day. I am trying to walk so different place, went downtown yesterday. I might started walking dt more often.

I still have to get my info for my medical poa, poa, living will and my will to my uncle he is a lawyer so he is taking care of all of that for me, just have to email him everything today. I keep putting that off, its something I know needs to be done, but don't like the thought of doing that.

I have a few "last dinners" coming up plus we are having a about 30 people over for my sister inlaws Birthday. We are celbrating a little early, its not until after my surgery, but I wanted to enjoy it plus I have to make her a caraml cake, and I want to enjoy that one last time.
