LOOSING!!!
Jan 06, 2009
I did it, on Friday January 2, 2009! I am now the proud owner of a sleeve/bannana/VBG with sleeve what ever you want to call it.
It was broth and clear liquids on the first 2 days, and I constantly feel full.
Day 3 and I tried strained cream of potatoe soup, not bad but at a 1/4 cup and I am uncomfortable full. It is hard to get in enough water/liquid and I feel a little dehydrated.
Day 4 I tried a 1/4 cup of cream of mushroom mixed with baby pureed beef, tastes pretty good but I still feel soooo full all of the time. Had a real hard time getting in my liquids today but came closer than yesturday.
Today, I woke up and had some to drink first, then had crushed anti-biotics in 2 oz of apple sauce waited an hour an had more to drink. I have just tried a 1/4 cup of pureed spaghetti O's probably not the best choice, but it is sitting well on my stomach, now I have to wait an hour to start drinking again.
I have my follow up with Dr. Elariny on next Wednesday. Before surgery I went for my metabolic testing at his office and weighed in at 367! my highest ever. I did clear liquids for the week before surgery and weighed in at 351 the day of surgery. Today I am 344 so something is working right. I still hate my crushed meds, the anti-biotics and pain meds are the worst tasting of them all. I will check back in next week let everyone know how it goes.
How do I change my surgery date!!??? does anyone know.??
