I had Propofol today....

Hello BAFamily!!!

My bariatric surgeon thought I might have a ulcer so a EGD was scheduled for me today.  I asked " are you giving me that propofol that killed MJ" and they said yes!  Next, I remember a sort of flitrly thing going on with the doc.. I love his eyes... Anywhoo... I think I told  him that I would sing to him... (lol.. already spaced out)... next thing I knew.. I was coming too.  Good news ~Wanette~ NO ULCER!!  Just a slight hernia.. nothing to be alarmed at.. come see me in the office in 2 weeks and we'll go over some stuff.  I'm like huh???... so I asked... what about my pouch and the opening... he said that it's still intact 25 to 30 cc's.  And he showed me the pics.  I'm like WTF... after 5 years.. I can eat a burger from $1 menu and most the bread (at times).  Am I doing myself an injustice.  I THINK YES!!!  I plan on going back to basics and get the menus from him from when I started 5 years ago.  YESS... going back to pureed.. liquids and working my way up.  In 5 years I have not gained weight, but have plateau'd to about 180.  My goal (which was never met).. is 150.  That mean 30 lbs I'm still wanting off my azz.  My bp is still high and he said that is due to heritary more than anything else.  So I still take pills for that.  On the up and up ... I'm very proud of my success with this battle... I do feel like a WINNER!!!  The lowest I've ever gotten to was about 177 and that was because I had my tonsils out Jan. 2009.  I'm in a size 12 and loving every bit of it.. but honestly... I want to reach that goal of 150 to see if it will have an effect on my bp. 

Just thought I'd add something to the board.  I'm always lurking and laughing.. and agreeing and disagreeing to different things... and never really add MY 2cents.  But, know I lubs ya'll... ya'll keep a sista on point... even 5 years out.  I pay attention and participate even when I do not post.  Which I plan on changing.

About that Propofol... if it was anything like I experienced today for Michael Jackson, trust and believe... MJ went to sleep and never to wake again.  I don't think no pain crossed a brother at all.  That stuff right there... it's either you here or you not.  No thoughts, no memories... just gone.

Nite Fam!!!
Sorry soooo Long!!!

Wow you gone rewind to pureed days,  I wish you much much success because I know I could not do pureed. 

I know what you mean about your goal, I did make my goal and I need to get back to it and stop messing around.   So here's Good Luck to you.

Thanks Lee... drastric times calls for drastric measures.  And I'm all for that!  I have pushed the limit with eating at times and can't believe that my pouch the same.  I need to show it some respect for real.  Time to re~work the Pouch and get back to me!!

I'm glad your doc used propofol the way it's supposed to be used and not for some doggone insomnia.  Anywhoo, thank goodness there is no ulcer.  Good luck with getting to your goal.  My goal is also 150 and I'm at 209 so I'm praying I can get there.

Thank you Ivy... it is sooo achieveable... I can taste it and I'm sooo willing to start over from the beginning to get there.  I think I'll start with RTD protein shakes for main means and work my way with protein purreed as I did when I first had surgery.  I'm soo ready for this!
