Trying To Stay Hydrated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
May 25, 2008
Hello all, just to let you know what been going on. I had my 1st post-op appointment on 5/22/08. The doctor said that I didnt look good. She felt that I was not hydrated enough. I told her that I had been drinking but not as much as I should. She sent me to my primary doctor. My primary said that same thing. They tried to get IV fluids in me but it didnt work because my viens kept blowing . The primary finally told me to go home and drink 2 liters of water and if I felt worse to go to the ER. People, that made me really scared. I honestly was not prepared for the fact that I would not have any desire to eat or drink anything since the operation. This is a lot to get use to. As of yesterday, I have been only drinking propel water and protein shakes. I suppose to be on pureed foods but I can not focus on that right now. I must get myself hydrated before I go back into the hospital. I have another post-op appointment in 2 weeks. I hope that goes better.
Im Home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5 DAYS AND COUNTING
May 10, 2008
I only have five days left until my date. Im still not scared but Im anixous as Hell. I cant wait to start living and not fearing life.I hope I have no complications. Im still doing fine with my diet. I have slipped up some. I hope my liver has gotten smaller because this diet has really been hard. It forces me to eat about 5 to 6 times a day to keep from cheating. Im geeting in my protein with protien shakes and protein bars. I still get head aches when I think Im hungrey. I try and drink water to make me feel full but it does work sometimes and that when the cheating comes in. I think that I have done well for the most part. When Im at work , my co-workers bring in danished ,cakes, and donuts for the office to eat and I have not touched a thing. I cant believe that I have that much will power. I personally think that they are doing it to be smart because one co-worker stated that she forgot that I was having the surgery and was on a special diet and then talks about eating the sweets. I have to ignore them a lot and turn them out. I have discovered that I was going out to eat a lot for lunch with my co-workers. Since I dont go with them ,there is not a lot of talking about food in the office any more. Ok, I guess I have updated enough. I will try to post the day before surgery. Be Blessed OH FEM
