Survivor - Surgery!
Nov 10, 2006
Hi! I had my surgery yesterday morning and I am home! The surgery went very well, a textbook case, so the doctor said, it took 1 1/2 hours and no complications. I was ok till about 5;30 and then I needed pain meds which I took until Ieft the hospital. This morning I woke up very achey on many parts of my body. I think they moved me on the table! My shoulders, upper thighs and neck hurt pretty bad and so do the incisions. I was in ICU and enjoyed the one on one attention, I'm sipping my 1 oz. clear liquids every hour! Tomorrow I continue on clears, 1 oz every hour, Sunday increase to 2 oz and Monday 4 oz...Tuesday I start milk based liquids so I can't wait for that! I have a follow up on Friday and will get weighed then!
Ready Or Not, Here I Come!

It's 5:05 am, surgery day and I'm up, showered, and ready! I weigh 217 this morning, I lost 4 lbs on the clear liquid fast...hey I wish it were that easy to lose the normal way! Thanks to everyone who wished me well....I have prayed as well to get through surgery smoothly without any complications....Dr. Jean-Baptiste, hear my prayer, you are a gifted surgeon and a compassionate doctor! My full trust is in your hands! Watch later for posts from Cheryl about my progress! Happy New Beginning To Me!

Hi Everyone! One more week, 7 days to go till surgery! (11/9) I am feeling numb! I am watching everything I eat...didn't touch the halloween candy, haven't had fat or sugar in a few days...hope that liver of mind shrinks! I am not on a pre-op diet and will start clear liquids on Tuesday. I have 4 more days of work, trying to get everything done that needs doing before my 3 weeks of medical leave. I love these boards!!!! This weekend I will make chicken soup to help me during the clear fast!
