OKAY... So as I wrote a little earlier, today at work wasnt so bad... it ended well.. I decided not to go to the gym, because at the end of the day my shoulder started hurting again! When in the world does this gas pain go away! Its sucks!!!! Anyways... I picked my neice up from school and dropped her off at my moms. We were hanging out and then my friend called and needed a fava... so I went to her house and made her get on the scale (she was also banded)  LOL, So I asked her if it was accurate, she said yea and I hopped on... I... am ...242lbs!!!!! Down 12 6 days after surgery!!!! Its an amazing thought and feeling. So that made me happy, so I got on her tredmill for 10 mins LOL... i just dont want to do too much, so I am goin to probably take it easy. Oh and another great thing lol I can remove my bangle bracelets without lotion LOL!!!!! Today is a good day!

So far so good...one student that decided to show his A** today lol well I mean its everyday with him, but I have awesome co-workers who were there to help when I needed them! I been able to tolerate a lot more water today!  I had a protein shake for lunch and 1/4 of my yogurt. I couldnt tolerate much else! LOL I got cards from my kids, that made my day, (since I dont have any babies of my own, I call em my kids)  So, today turned out not to be so bad... I am going to walk on the tred m ill afterwards, Ill let you know how that goes... I am so exhausted! I got in atleast 28 grams of protein and I am going to try to have another shake for dinner to get another 22 grams, then... Im going to have to figure out hot to make up for the other 10 grams lol... SO guys, today was a good day, Ill prolly blog how the tred mill goes later lol! Have a great day everyone!!!!!

So... its been 5days or is it 6 I dont know... ... yesterday was not that bad... I finally went to the bathroom... that was a highlight LOL.. I tried some pureed cream soup... two bites and that was it, it was disgusting.  I am working hard to get in as much calories and protein as I can but it is hard. I am doing well with yogurt believe it or not! I was having difficulty with milk but I am able to tolerate that. Today I stocked up on Special K protein waters, and Milk Chocolate shakes.  I also stocked up on Jello- pudding and jello.s I also got a lot of protein shakes from the Dr.s office to last me until this liquid diet is over. It just seems so weird to me that I can eat jello and pudding and shakes and hopefully drop the weight. I really am looking forward to next Sunday when i can eat fish! lol I need some variety in my life. Water, broth, protein shakes, jello, pudding, yogurt and popsicles are getting really old!!!  My incisions are healing well and I am going to try... TRY to do 15 minutes on the tred mill tomorrow. Walking helps the gas pain so much so I want  to just try it.

I am so nervous about work tomorrow. I have been able to sleep in a lot lately so I dont know how getting up at 6 am to get ready is going to work for me!!!  LOL!  I work in an alternative school, so I am hoping there are no physical altercations. My Dr. wrote on my excuse back to work
:  Amber is basically allowed to do 2 things, walk around and sit. She is in no way shape or form allowed to lift more than 10 lbs or assist in any physical restraints any qunestions  please contact my office .
I love my Dr!    
  Lets cross our fingers and hope all goes well tomorrow! 

Thanks for all the advice guys, I am going to try tea and am going to try to make the shakes with water *yuck lol * atleast until I get lactaid milk.  I am allowed pudding on my full liquid diet for the next 10 days. Tea is a good idea Im gonna loook into it and... no i did not lose 100 lol I am sorry I meant 249... guess Im just anxious!

I have wanted this surgery for over a year now and I honestly can say, I can feel myself getting smaller .  I woke up out of my sleep this morning with the strong sense to vomit. I started on full liquids today, so I dont know what that feeling was.  It passed very quickly but it scared me! The thought of throwing up with these incisions, just makes me feel pain.  I think that it is the pain meds doing this to me because I mean, Im pretty much taking them on an empty stomach. I keep telling myself that these things are no big deal but I had to  jump on here and see if anyone else has experienced this?  I got rid of the shoulder pain earlier in the day. I did try the gas x that worked, but then it returned in the evening. That is when I laid on my left side and fell asleep, the pain went away!  So, anyway.. does anyone have any suggestions on foods to eat during this full liquid phase? I am loaded up on protein shakes, puddings, jellos, and broths, anything I am missing?  lol 10 days seems like an eternity of pudding and broth lol....Im going to keep you guys posted on my progress... let me know if I am being over dramatic! OH BTW.. I was wrong about my starting weight. The day of surgery I was 254.4 not 260 lol, and today I am 249... it may be water weight but hell.. its coming off lol!!

So I was released from the hospital yesterday morning... very early! I wasnt even really kept 24 hours.  Walking and sipping have become my two favorite past times! My incisions are a bit tender BUT THE GAS! OMG... the pain in my shoulder is horrible! I was not able to sleep well last night even with the pain medication. BUT this morning I woke up and some of that pain has subsided! So thats good news.s.. just keep thinking about the light at the end of the tunnel. Procedure wasnt so bad got a bit annoying being forced to walk constantly and having to pee from the I.V. but other than that it was cool. does anyone have any suggestions about residual gas???

So, today is Sunday... and I my mommy made me chicken corn soup!!! My favorite!!!!! So I am going to consider that my last meal...tomorrow I am going to return soms things to Old Navy and get some comfy pants to wear to the hospital and just wait for the hospital to call with my surgery time. I am hoping that it is early! Feel like a kid on Christmas eve lol super hype over getting 5 incisions! LOL its gonna be the best damn pain in my life!!!!!       

Okay... so I am super stressed out from work, but super excited that my surgery is 5 days away!!!!! AHHHHH!!!! LOL
