Hello all, just to let you know what been going on. I had my 1st post-op appointment on 5/22/08. The doctor said that I didnt look good. She felt that I was not hydrated enough. I told her that I had been drinking but not as much as I should. She sent me to my primary doctor. My primary said that same thing. They tried to get IV fluids in me but it didnt work because my viens kept blowing . The primary finally told me to go home and drink 2 liters of water and if I felt worse to go to the ER. People, that made me really scared. I honestly was not prepared for the fact that I would not have any desire to eat or drink anything since the operation. This is a lot to get use to. As of yesterday, I have been only drinking propel water and protein shakes. I suppose to be on pureed foods but I can not focus on that right now. I must get myself hydrated before I go back into the hospital.  I have another post-op appointment in 2 weeks. I hope that goes better.

Tomorrow is the day.I would like to thank everyone in my new OH family for everyone's words of encourgement. I hope to have a non-complicated surgery.  See you all of the losing side

I only have five days left until my date. Im still not scared but Im anixous as Hell. I cant wait to start living and not fearing life.I hope I have no complications. Im still  doing fine  with my  diet. I have slipped up some. I hope my liver has gotten smaller because this diet has really been hard. It forces me to eat about 5 to 6 times a day to keep from cheating. Im geeting in my protein with protien shakes and protein bars. I still get head aches when I think Im hungrey. I try and drink water to make me feel full but it does work sometimes and that when the cheating comes in. I think that I have done well for the most part. When Im at work , my co-workers bring in danished ,cakes, and donuts for the office to eat and I have not touched a thing.  I cant believe that I have that much will power. I personally think that they are doing it to be smart because one co-worker stated that she forgot that I was having the surgery and was on a special diet and then  talks about eating the sweets. I have to  ignore them a lot and turn them out. I have discovered that I was going out to eat a lot for lunch with my co-workers. Since I dont go with them ,there  is not a lot of talking about food in the office any more. Ok, I guess I have updated enough. I will try to post the day before surgery. Be Blessed OH FEM

Its 10 days before my surgery. Im happy that its almost here.Im not scared. I cant explain why Im not, I just not. I feel good and Im doing better with the liquid diet.

This is my 10th day on the liquid diet. Its getting harder. I do well during the week but I have back slided ALL WEEKEND LONG.I need to get back on track. I did get my pre-op blood tests and everything is fine including my EKG. I cant continue to cheat on the diet. I just have to pray about and leave it in GOD's hands to see me through. I wll try and post next week.

Today is my third day on the liquid diet. Im doing fine. Thank God. It is getting harder not to eat other food. I dont need to eat other food , I just want to because I cant. That is the hardest part about this diet. Keep me in your prayers.I uploaded some new pictures and Im going  to try and upload new ones every week until surgery.

I still have the appt's on 4/24/08. I was just seating at the computer thinking that the time is almost here. I cant believe  that its almost time for me to start my journey to a new me.
