Day 3 post op

Dec 12, 2013

I can't believe it's been 3 days... So on Monday the9th of December I arrived early lol about an hour early to my surgery, was really excited even tough I had gotten my period 2 days earlier lol got all dressed up in white and was taken to like a waiting place, they gave me those horrible white pantiehose (compression) and an injection of a blood thinner and they asked to c how they did it cuz after surgery I needed to do that to myself. Walked to the OR and sat on a weird table and had all the little ants prepping me and then a girl puts this oxygen mask and asks that I breath deeply about the third puff I was out... Started waking, was a little disoriented but finally fully opened my eyes at 10am... Surgery was at 8... So then the nurse asks his I feel and I was so good, cuz when I started waking up was in pain and they quickly took card of it... So they tell they will take me to the bathroom as I sat upright on the bed was supper dizzy told the nurse and she said it's normal, so as I got up... I lost consciousness lol I've never ever fainted but I did when I woke up the nurse was saying focus focus and I realized I was on my knees and my ties where hurting so much...  So they finally got me up, I had ripped out my Iv and opened one of my incision lol so after bloodworks they saw that my blood count was low and heart rate up,

1 week until surgery

Nov 30, 2013

So its been felt really good, 3 weeks of the ideal fast shakes.... let me tell you when i started this liquid diet, i wasn't hungry, had cravings but manageable... second week most the same, was having some constipation problems but not much, at the end of week 2 it got a lot harder and as week 3 started it got worst, the hunger the cravings..lol.. the constipation, they recommended metamucil clear... cant find it anywhere!!! :( started taking regular metamucil no sugar... but i wont be able to take that after surgery... im a little better now starting my last week of liquids, much better in the constipation area, but now my mouth waters at all the yummy smells..lol... and im still hungry, but now seeing that its just one week... and i know that after surgery i still wont be able to eat, i`m hoping my tummy will stop growling lol plus im really looking forward to some chicken broth lol, ive had shakes and celery and cucumbers for the last 3 weeks...lol

Im not really nervous about my surgery, im mostly worried on how its going to feel to go under and then waking up, ive never had any kind of procedures done. so thats where my anxiety is lol

The waiting is over

Nov 09, 2013

I've finally got my surgery date!!! It's going to be on the 9th of December and I'm so freaking happy!! I've started taking seriously my diet restriction research ... Since juin 2013, I've been already cutting out of my diet the things I should like sodas and junk food, if been eating around every 2 hours, meal snack meal snack.... I've stopped drinking while I eat and most important stopped eating fast food... And  with just doing that I've lost an average of 35-40 pounds... BUT last month I slacked a bit it's hard when u live with people who goes out and buys all the junk food imaginable ... For this last month I'll try to be better...

Waiting.... hate it!

Sep 07, 2013

It is so stressful all this waiting, i know its just part of the process but i get to a point when i start thinking they are just skipping me hahaha... 

Its been 3 years since I had my appointment with Dr. Atlas, and that i got a confirmation letter from the hosp that i am in the waiting list, in June i had enough waiting and started calling the clinic the hospital for some answers and it started rolling, had a nutrition course about what to expect bfore and after the surgery, then a apnea and respetory exam and then at the end of august i got a gastroscopy ..(awful) and now again... waiting, wish i just knew what to expect ....
