POST OP 3/15/07

Mar 14, 2007

Had RNY 3 days ago and I feel like a wall has collapsed on me. To be expected after major surgery but all in all pretty good. Am not hungry at all just thirstly and I fill up on the 30cc very quickly. Will write more later.

Surgery is tommorrow 3/11/07

Mar 10, 2007

WOW!!   Tommorrow is the big day! Surgery. I am scared and excited and nervous all at once. This liquid diet hasn't been so bad after day 3 I have lost 12 1/2 pounds in 6 days.

preop diet 3-8-07

Mar 07, 2007

I can honestly say the preop diet is awful. On day 3, right now in am not at all hungry but last night was weak, starving, grouchy not pleasant. I don't like the meal supplements I am on so I'm not eating/drinking them ~ so calorie intake is only about 300 calories a day. Have already lost 7 pounds. lol     

IT'S A GO 3-5-07

Mar 05, 2007

Surgery is still on for 3/12/07 I have to at the hospital at 8 am. I wish it were tommorrow. Unfortunately liquid diet starts tommorrow. Well gotta go.

3/1/07 Still sick

Mar 01, 2007

Went to PCP today he definately recommends waiting on surgery until my health is better. Bad case of bronchitis with possible pneumonia. But my preop appt. is for 3/5 so the surgeon will see me then and decide if I  am healthy enough. Hopefully I am!!!

2/27/07 Sick

Feb 27, 2007

Well I am bummed woke up yesterday with a sore throat and today even worse full blown head and chest cold. I am worried this will postpone the surgery. It's only 13 days away. Well will write soon.

2 weeks preop

Feb 25, 2007

The closer it gets the more nervous I become. Two weeks and 1 day until surgery. I have my last presurgery appointment with the dietician tommorrow and am scared because she won't tell me specific foods that I cannot have after surgery. She keeps saying right now you don't need to worry about that we just need to concentrate on learning correct food choices and eating 6 times a day.  I have been doing really great on this but want to know specifics like can I eat corn, peas, popcorn after surgery (after healing of course). Guess I will find out sometime, I am not the most patient person....... One good thing I have been exercising for 2 - 15 minute sessions a day.


SURGERY DATE

Feb 22, 2007

YES!!! A definite surgery date of 3/12/07!!!! CAN'T arrive soon enough. I am so excited and so scared. But I know it is the right decision for me. I have completed 2 dietician consults and am now on a 1300 calorie diet. I have my 3rd visit on the 26th and my preop on the 5th which I will then start the liquid diet. Not looking forward to that one. But I am looking forward to being able to tie my shoes (not buy slip ons), walking up stairs without being short of breath, going to ANY store and buying clothes, being able to fall asleep without cutting off my breathing. The psychologist wanted me to find an angel on OH. Does anyone know how to go about getting one? Well I will add pics soon.

Nutrition Note
Well today was not a good nutrition day. I was not able to resist old ways. Very stressed out at work and meal (snack) choices certainly show my poor choices. Salty and sweet same old me with same old head games. Had state surveyors in house as well as corporate in doing audit. What a crazy stress filled day......... State back again tomorrow hopefully I can destress without food.!!!!!!
