Night 2 after surgery

May 07, 2017

So the doctors decided to not do the roux en y.  They did the sleeve instead.  I have a crater hole on my left side where my stomach use to be. Looks like I'm spending another restless night here. 

Light headed n feeling like crap due to nausea vomitting and severe heartburn. 

If you are having surgery my advice is to walk right away and practicing coughing.... it will help your muscles adjust.

Take the medication offered and practice sipping 15 ml of water before surgery....

I'm so hungry but everything burns going down...

Either way surgery is over with and I aready to heal n shed pounds....

Surgery day

May 05, 2017

Ok so its 4:39 am in Toronto. And i am up . Its surgery day. I'm excited. Anxious.  Nervous. But i just can't wait to see what tomorrow holds.  I have to be at the hospital at noon surgery is at 3pm. I don't understand why they do surgery so late knowing it takes hours.  I just want to get through it and be able to say goodnight to my babies....

I packed their suitcas and sent it off with bestie she is absolutely amazing. Don't know what I wuld do without her. I packed a few things fr myself.  Wish i knew where the tablet cord is....

So I didn't reach my weight loss goal. I wanted to lose 30lbs while on the pre op diet.  I lost just over 19lbs as of yesterday.   I hope the hospital weighs me today if  i hit the 20lbs lost mark I'd be ok. 

I don't have a definite goal weight but i would like to see myself eventually in the 100s but i think i would look ill being that skinny at 5ft10. I think being around 230 lbs would be my first major goal nov 2018.

My goal for September 5th 2017 is to lose 70lbs i know i set big goals but i can do it....

I am so ready for this next step in life to be a healthier me..... goals are meant to be achieved....

I will keep you all posted on my recovery.

2nd week of SlimTime

Apr 29, 2017

Its been a rough week..... its my 2nd week on SlimTime and I miss chewing food. I miss the texture of food, the taste of seasoning and hot pepper on my food. 

I dislike that everything I consume is sweet and not savory..... i really miss it... feeling so blah. And i do not consider the 1.75 cups of broth I'm allowed to consume savory. Its like salt water in my mouth ugh.

I have 6 days until surgery and i am no where close to meeting my goal of losing 30 lbs before surgery. I have 15 lbs to go and I'm not happy.  I have been working out, drinking 60 oz of water daily and riding my bike. I am not cheating at all and only lost 2lbs in last few days. ????

It has to get better!

SlimTime pre op diet

Apr 21, 2017

So i have been drinking my SlimTime for 8 days. I've lost over 8 pounds and I find i have no energy at all. I was feeling like crap so i bought a bicycle to ride outside. Sure enough the weather changed to cold and rainy.

Sticking to the shakes is getting a lot easier except when i see friends and family eating yummy food. I will confess i liked sauce off of my little ones fingers..... i love seasoning, spices and pepper.  Unfortunately you can't season shakes.

I find my shakes really sweet and right now I'd rather seasoning or something salty.  Watched my kids have pizza for dinner tonight and I was ok..... guess I am getting mentally stronger. 

Going to have some soup and catch up on shows. Hoping for more energy tomorrow as its cleaning day!

Exhausted

Apr 16, 2017

Today was a much better day in regards to the pre op diet but I find myself with low energy amd heartburn. But i guess since I'm only eating 600 calorirs daily that would happen.   

I have a lot of things to get done around the house before surgery totally wish i did them before i started the pre op diet. Ugh lesson learned.  If you read this  take my advice and arrange your house life etc before the diet.

I have actually decided to hire an agency to help on an occasional basis until i get accustomed to my new life. I am learning power naps can be useful and full sleep in the day will keep me up at night. 

BTW SlimTime taste ok warm......great night cap...

Cheers!

Unsupportive folk

Apr 15, 2017

So i took my children to a birthday party this evening and as I'm on the pre op diet i was prepared.  I brought a shake,  broth, water, diet pop and a jello. 

So this one lady i know kept pestering me about not eating.   It was horrible like she wants to see me fail. She got a piece of cake and put in front of me told me to eat in moderation. Told me it wouldn't kill me. So my response was of it does kill me in the night will you be there?

I  know that wasn't ideal but would yousay? What do you say to the unsupportive folk in your life?

Where is ketosis?

Apr 15, 2017

So yesterday on Good Friday i commences my pre op diet of SlimTime.... problem is Wal-Mart did not deliver my broth jello blender extracts and diet soda.  So i sat miserably all day with my water and shake.  I watched my family kids included over indulging on yummy west Indian food and deserts.

You are probably saying that i shouldof just went to walmart the issue is i just had hand surgery and I am not allowed to use my dominant hand.

So I am in bed watching my 2 yr old nap going mentally crazy waiting for ketosis. Like where are you ketosis?  No one told me about the hunger pain, headache,  nausea or diarrhea ugh so not prepared. 

But it must get beter.... RIGHT?

My kids are going to a birthday party in a few hrs and hopefully I can enjoy it .... I am prepared 1 shake 1 jello 1 water 1diet coke

If you have any words of encouragement I am all ears.
