Well, I got home from the hospital on Thursday- a day later than planned.  I had some abnormal bowel bleeding, vomitted blood a few times and had some bad effects from the Morphine.   Finally my hemogloban tests came back normal and they sent me home.  I am doing ok and tolerating most proteins pureed....I tried chicken salad and that didn't sit too well with me.  I find I get really tired and lighteaded at times but continue to sip, sip, sip!  I am already down 21 lbs. from where I started in this journey! YAYA!  I can't wait for more exciting times!    I have talked to several other people who have had surgery close to my day and everyone seems to be doing well!  

Well, I am 6 days out from surgery and completely psyched!  As I posted in forum, I have been extremely tired and have had headaches from the liquid diet.  I am very crabby and hate that feeling.  I find myself saying "SNAP OUT OF IT LADY!!!"   I got samples today from Syntrax and can't wait to try them.  See you all on the losers bench!

Well, today was the first day of my pre-op diet.   I did my protein shakes and one small protein meal per the dr. instructions.  It was crazy!  I got a pretty bad headache in the early afternoon and it still isn't gone.  I am keeping my eye on the prize though...12 days to go!
