I had a great Follow up appointment, I am getting as much liquids and Protein in me as I can, I told Dr. G that I feel dehydrated and my urine is dark yellow ( sorry ) so I got a vile of blood done today to check my kidney function and if need be they will put me on an IV for fluids tomorrow. I feel like I just can't maintain the added 2B diet, I am going to try substitute something so I can try a whole egg. :-). Sooooooooooooooooo my weigh in as of today which is 8 days post op IS 20 pounds down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've added some new tunes to the iPhone :-)

Excited!!

Hey all, I am doing pretty well. Some days I have lots of energy and others not so much. So that is one con to my story thus far. I went for another walk yesterday for about 40 minutes again. I took some pain medication prior by about 30 minutes, I was having bad pain. Either way it helped the current pain and any pain I might have experienced after my walk. It feels so good to move around and today is going to be yet another beautiful spring like day! Tomorrow is my first follow up appointment with Dr. G and the Nut, I am excited to see how much weight perhaps I have lost and to make sure I am adhering to the rules as best as I can.

I did not go for a walk yesterday however, today my Sister and I went on another walk. Roughly a 30-40 minute walk. I believe I am pushing myself a bit too hard, not really thinking about it until the pain sets in. I need to walk a bit less until next week. I feel awesome though!  On another note I am seeing Dr. G and the Nut next Tuesday, can't wait! Super excited!!!!  

I just took a 30 minute walk with my younger sister, it felt great. I was winded and now have a bit of increased pain from moving around like that but I wore my binder so it helped a great deal! I feel great!!

I read something in one of the forums... Focusing on eating right, slow-long meals, right foods, right liquids, exercise program is what we or at least I need to focus on because looking at the scale and wanting to weight myself every chance I get will just upset me and cause me to think of what am I doing wrong if my weight loss is not enough VS keeping my focus on what I am supposed to be doing therefore, I know I am doing everything right and the pounds will come off just the way my body has intended it to.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT... I can't wait to start eating my cream of mushroom soup  

I have lots of it! Lots of yogurt, jello and pudding-- along with a 10lb bag of protein powder and several already made shakes

Good Morning everyone, since I was discharged yesterday from the Hospital-- not even 24 hours after my surgery, I am recovering at my Mother's house. I am sleeping in the oversized lazy boy recliner. I slept pretty good. Since being awake I have taken my around the clock Tylenol and I have taken in 2ounces of water thus far, I can't really tell how far apart to keep the drinking of water. I was told 5 minutes, 15 minutes... I just don't want to stretch my pouch, that is all. I have moved some gasses from my body, finally! I have been up and moving around since 8 am. I have a home health nurse coming over to assist me in my lovanox shots, they skipped giving me one after my surgery because my blood count was low.( still didn't get an update before I left ).

I have my follow up appointment Tuesday the 11th, hopefully I am in good standing!

Hey everyone! So it's 9:19am and I am feeling 110% better than I did!! 

I have had four little medicine cups full of optisource in caramel flavor- yummy

I am currently having a few bites of gleatein prosource jello in orange flavor- decent tasting

I was just taken off of my morphine button and am being put on the liquid oxycodone to make sure I can handle it and it controls my pain. ( I was advised about two hours ago that I was supposed to hit my morphine button every ten minutes! No wonder I was in such pain! )

The nurse is thinking of sending me home later today once I prove I can handle the liquid oxycodone. 

I am sooooooo amped up and excited to heal up so I can start my physical part! 

I am going to post this now-- my eyes are getting heavy!!

p.s-- staff is so sweet and caring :-)

Hey all, I'm in my own room! Quite a bit of pain in my left side of stomach! Feel pretty crappy right now and every chance I get I hit the pain med button! I'm hopeful this pain will subside in that one specific area! 

Hey everyone!! 

I am in the waitin area, waiting to go back to pre-op! There are a lot of people getting surgeries today! It's great to see all the supportive family and friends here for everyone! 

Getting nervous but so ready to get something in my system I calm my nerves!
