I've made it.. I AM ON THE OTHER SIDE.
Mar 21, 2007
Hi guys, I came home yesterday afternoon and then slept.. Well, what I could get of sleep. Little uncomfortable with the gas. Which I will say is the worst part. I went into the OR, got a little nervous, but before u know it,you are in and out. Woke up in recovery, they gave me pain meds and some oxygen. When I sleep my o2 levels fall. The second day, I was off. I have had no naseau, no vomitting. I have been feeling great.. It is true what they say WALK WALK WALK WALK.. It helps with the gas They took away the pain pump in the morning. The dialoudid was making me itch,then the other stuff wasnt working. So, they sent me home with liquid oxycondone...a small dose goes a long way.. I am a little tired and soar..but its not that bad..I am going back to work on monday.. The liquid diet was good. I had broth, tea,crystal light. Then they pushed me to soft diet.. Eggs , mashed potatoes.. it was all right. It hurt alittle going down, but more of a pinch. The GI test wasnt bad either. I will write later on. going to go and take a nap.. This is the best thing I've ever done towards my health..
No longer waiting..
Tommorrow is the Day,,, Happy Rebirthday to Me!!!!!

Ok, so I am tired, have a tummy ache, alittle headache still. Not going to eat anything though. Nina from the dr office gave me an ok to eat eggs...I had the worst hunger Migraine. Still not really nervous, like I said, it will probably hit me tomorrow morning. I have to do the bowel prep at 3pm est. I hope that my liver has shrunk enough.. I know I ate the eggs a couple of times. I dont want dr tishler to end up having to do an open surgery.. that will not be fun. If anyone is reading this, please pray for me. I will try to enter something before I leave tomorrow morning for the hospital. If not, God Bless and keep my in your prayers for an uneventful surgery.. I will be in the hosp for at least two days. So, u probably wont here from me til Wed or Thurs. Bye for now

Mar 14, 2007
Ok, so I am doing better today. Still dealing with this dang pre op diet. Had my pcp appt monday and then my pre op with the surgeon. I am all set. Everything checked out fine inside and out with the pcp. My blood work is all right, blood pressure was good too. A little nervous, but not really. I think its more being anxious. The week isnt going fast enough. I have been reading a lot of peoples stories and just wondering about the excess skin. I am more think then anything. I will probably need a small tummy tuck and arms done if anything. I keep my fingers crossed. I have been having sex all this week so far. Loving every minute of it. I know TMI. I ate some chicken broth today at lunch. It tasted soooooo good. Then my tummy started hurting. So, I went to the bathroom. I am proud of myself. All the junk in my house and I dont touch any of it. Just drink my shakes and water and chill out. I am extremely tired though. Tomorrow is thursday. Week is almost over. Watch the weekend will end up dragging. I just want it to be monday. So, if anyone is reading this, please say prayers for me and keep me in your thoughts.

So, i did pretty good yesterday. I knew that I was going to drink so I ate a chicken wing. I had this new drink at the party called a Paris Hilton. It was really good. I had like two of those and then a red death. I was good at that point. I know after the surgery I am not going to be able to drink the way I use to, or at all. Tired today, drinking my protein shake right now. I want to go and lay down but I have close to get together for laundry tomorrow. I am alittle irritated though. My daughter has over more company that I said ok to. So, they are making noise and my daughter doesnt know how to act when she has company. So, thats the end of that for a while. So, I really dont have much to say. Gonna go upstairs and drink some propel water and watch tv.

I've got an APPROVAL and a DATE WHOO HOOO
Mar 03, 2007
Well, it was within three days and I have a date. 3*19*07. I am so excited that they are oking my surgery. I dont know what to do with myself. I have recvd all the information regarding the pre op diet. yuck.. i have no idea how i am going to do that,but there's no other way to get through it. If anyone had any little tricks or products that made it easier, please feel free to give me your advice and experience. I am having lap,but I am really not sure how the pain will be. Is it the incisions that hurt or the inside of your stomach? And does everyone wake up with a tube for draining in place? That I really dont like..
Always looking for a buddy....
