Finally on the loser's side!
Jul 06, 2013
I hope this turns out okay because I have no idea what is on this screen. The backscreen is grey and it is not showing me what I am typing, although once I get done, it should go to the blog page and be there. So, let me say I am sorry for the typing errors in advance!
That is why there is no June blog on here either. I did not know that is why I could not put anything up. I just thought it was not working. Well, it seems to work, I just can't see any of it til it gets to the blog so, oh, well~~here goes nothing.
Let me start off by updating a bit from June~ The last NUT visit was on June 3rd, and I finally weighted in at 2242 for a lose of8, which was a 10 lb. weight loss from May. They turned in all my insurance and paperwork on that day and I got an approval the next day, June 4th! I was so excited! We set up the surgery for July 2nd, and to begin the infamous two-week liquid diet on tuesday, June 18th.
So, fast forward to June 20th, the pre-op appointment. I weightin at 242. . I see the NUT, nurse, and then the surgeon. He took his time, made me feel really comfortable and he answered al of my questions.
Now, to July 2nd. Weigh in at hospital 233! Whoot! Lost 9 lbs on liquid diet! So, surgery went fine. Had a morophine pain pump. Ppumped it a few times and then started having the vivid dreams and pushed one more time, and boom, here come the spiders crawling all over me!! This was all before two o'clock! Surgery was over and I was in my rom at noon! So~~anyhow, doc comes in and says you can have diluadid but it is 7x stronger. I say does it do all that like the dreams and things? He said no. So I said, give it to me! I took 2 doeses and that was enough. Too much and gave me a headache! Later that evening, I got toradol and stayed on that til I went home on the 4th. Now, on my 4th day out, I am only taking some Loratab elixir in the morning and at bed, mostly for the chronic back pain since I have the liquid pain meds! I have a little pain from the surgery, but nothing too bad! The pain meds I am taking are just replacing the usualy 4 that I take in a pill form every day until I can get some more of this weifht off.
So, there you have it! So far, so good. Been getting at least 30 grams of protein in via protein drinkks, and themn at least 40 oz of otheher fluid such as water, crystal light or broth. I have had some jello along the wqay, but am just worried right now about the protein and the water! Been walking at least 1 1/2 miles per day now. I am still in the recliner until the right lower quadrant feels a bit more comfy . I sure hope this is fixed by the next time I want to blog cause this is killing me not seeing what I am typing! Hope it isn't too bad and if it is, I am truly sorry! Take care ya'll and best wishes!
