post op!
Jan 06, 2011
Ok so much for "updating soon," but . Moving on: I am day 4 post op from RNY gastric bypass surgery. I HURT. I keep fighting with myself, thinking this was too drastic, thinking I'm going to look like a mess of skin, thinking I'm going to die of starvation! I have to keep reminding myself that I did this for my health, and if this path was not taken I truely believe obesity would greatly shorten my life. So here I am! I feel as though I've been punched in the stomach by the Hulk. I'm rumbly, gassy, and cranky. I have a liquid vicodin elixr, but I'm really not a fan of those type of drugs as I have a bit of a sensitivity to them (they make me nauseous and itchy) so I am taking a minimal amount. One thing I am not is hungry, not really. At least I don't think I am. Pre-op I knew where my stomach was, I was aware of it and its state. Now, I haven't the slightest idea what's going on in there! It's a very strange feeling. I am struggling to get down the proper amount of fluids. Hopefully tomorrow is better.

kickoff
May 11, 2010
I just took my first step in all this last Saturday, my educational seminar. I'm so excited to get the ball rolling! I just can't wait for it to be a few years down the road already and I'm living my healthy active life! I met who I believe will be my surgeon, the very nice (and quite handsome) Dr. Woodbury. My 1 on 1 consult with him is scheduled for june 4th, where we'll get a game plan going. I really am pumped about this next chapter in my life. Update soon!
