OK...for the 1st time today since surgery, (8 days ago) I am FINALLY NOT nauseated!!! Yesterday I was a very bad girl, I had no protein all day long-did manage to get in 40 oz fluids tho.  But...today- I woke up feeling better! Already had 28 grams of protein! So maybe all my hair wont fall out afterall :)
On another good note, Im 16 lbs down! woo hoo! My BMI is now 58.1- outta those ole 60's, FOREVER!
Thanks so much to everyone and their support and encouragement...See ya on the losing side!

I made it!  Im 6 days post op- had to spend 5 days in hospital.  ROUGH!!! I wont lie- it was harder than I thought but already worth it.  Talk about weird! Before surgery I was trying to squashy my cravings of food while doing the pre op diet-but now, just trying not to think of food at all!  (nauseating ) Its all I can do to get in my 64 oz protein/fluids daily. 
Im very sore, but will feel better everyday, I know it.  Hubby is going today to buy some whey protein, flavoring, and a magic bullet blender! 
Will update more later...

Well, time is getting closer! Got phone call from the hospital yesterday evening- Be at Parkwest at 8:30 am - surgery at 10:30! YAY!!
So...time is passing pretty fast.  I have been busy with my 4 year old granddaughter the last 2 days, weve been shopping, at cheer camp, getting our nails and toes done...etc...It has helped her with her anxiety of her nana having surgery and it has helped me in many ways...
So...I got my stuff for hospital.New houseshoes, my shampoo conditioner,new toothbrush, a people magazine, Ive made my list of what to take, including my journal Ive been keeping.  I think Im just about ready!  Ive got church 2 times tomorrow so I def will be busy and Monday will be here before you know it!! I have no anxiety as of yet but prob will when Im lying there right before and it hits me! We'll see...
Well to all my friends who Ive met on here, thanks for being there for me! Your words are precious wisdom. I will keep remembering you at whatever stage you are in your journey!

Ok, blogging again.  I started my preop diet thru Dr Boyce last Thursday.  6-9-11
When I first started, I thought I was gonna die!  After all, you dont take a fat girls food away so suddenly! haha
Anyway, with the support of my family I am doing it.  I have lost 5 lbs so far in 8 days.  The only way I am being strict about sticking to it is b/c I may not get to have it done if I dont shrink my liver some...oh and also the crunchy protein bars and protein cheetos from Dr Boyces office! I am 11 days out, I hope to lose another 10 lbs or so...I hope....

BMI=61.0

So....Ive been trying to get approved for a year or longer for revision of a previous gastric bypass.  Finally, only after an insurance change (mandantory for work) and an upper GI by Dr Boyce which showed complications, did I get approved within days! My surgery is scheduled for June 27th,  I am having to revision of roux n y to BPD/DS.  Very excited! Dr B tells me that thisone will work!
