Its about 11:45 am. I am feeling much better than yesterday but still feeling alittle dehydrated. I reviewed and wrote down my menu from the surgeon. So today I will get all my protein and liquids. Hear it is:

16 ounces Protein Drink
9 ounces milk
2 ounces broth
4 ounces of juice

My hardest issue is the last two. I hate broth now and the juice is diluted and taste yucky..... ok how old are you.....

I feel better than I did earlier. Definately more hydrated and I gave in and took my pain meds- boy did that help! I also took my nausea meds. Everyone on the boards are so helpful and great support. Tommorrow I will try to get other protein sources and try a new recipe I was given on the RNY Board....Goodnight

I feel like crap today, just like yesterday. No wonder I've lost so much so quick. I have been giving myself half the calories, protein and liquids than what I was supposed to. Can you say DUHHHH? Very irrated. I'm going to the board for support....

Well its been 4 days since surgery. For the most part all is well. I had a few episodes today. First I thought I was going to but I didn't. Then I stood up and got dizzy-didn't pass out and then for some strange reason decided to bite my DH head off! Don't know why but I did. I am not liking today at all.

2 oz. protein shake
1 oz. beef broth
4oz. diluted juice- which takes me all day to drink
the occational popsicle or I talian ice( can't finish a whole one}
This is spread out in one hour increments and I am sipping on lots of water all day long. Having issues with staying awake.
I need to by a pill crusher so I can take my BP meds and my Lexapro. My surgeon says I may not have to take these after a couple of months,Happy about that. I no longer need to test my blood sugar
One day after to surgery it was normal

Well I am home and just had a coughing attack...ouch!!! That hurt but I don't want pneumonia so I'll deal with the coughing.  I just had two ounces of a protein shake and it tasted great!!! All I've had is broth, watered down juice and decaf tea so the shake was wonderful.... Oh well took my pain meds feeling alittle sleepy, I'll update soon.

  THE DAY IS HERE!!!!! I have been awake since 4am but don't need to be at the hospital until 8am........ Well its now 6:45, should be leaving in 30 minutes or so...traffic looks bad. I am already thirsty..... all packed..... yea I am soooooo bored and just very anxious!!!!!!!!!    Don't know what to do to pass the time..........

I am anxious about tommorrow..... I have drank my second dose of poo juice AKA Magnisium Citrate! Not sure why considering I have been on liquids for two weeks and there is nothing in there... but oh well I try to follow instructions well...... stomach cramps are here. I can't wait til tommorrow....... I know I won't sleep but will try.

Well.... 4 days til surgery. I am very nervous. I would not be but I think my allergy issues have caused a chest cold. I went to the pre-op appointment and the surgeon said I should be fine but if I wake up Monday still congested to call him and we would go from there. I don't want to get to the last day and they tell me to change the surgery date!!! I also don't want complications so I think I'll go see the doctor and find out if anything is wrong. I just want to cry. I've worked too hard for this. I just want everything to go good as far as surgery and to start all over.

Well its been a couple days but feeling much better. I can hear now.... just now like 20 minutes ago...now....lol Any who..... My nose is almost clear and tommorrow is my pre-op with the surgeon and his staff...... I am sooooo excited about the surgery... A new life, new body, new attitude, new ME!! NEW CLOTHES..... you know.... I will be able to shop in the "skinny" stores.... good bye to Lane Bryant and catalogs! I'll be back tommorrow to fill you in on the appointment. Sweet "thin" Dreams.........
