Well today was a pretty good day, i managed to stomach some cream of chicken soup and v-8 juice. Nelly (my pouches name lol) really seam to enjoy them. Now if she would just like protien lol... I got on my scale today and really like what i saw but im not gonna count it until  i go on my post op follow up July 1st.  

Well  another bad day for me.  I tried taking my anxitey medicine 1/2 the dose as my dr said and boy my tummy didnt like it at all i was so nauseated my lips where shivering not a pleasant feeling at all. So i layed down for a while it eased few hours later, guess it wont work until i can eat food with it. Guess these are the ups and downs and lessons we learn in this process. I did get the isopure at the commissary tonight and will try that tomorrow and pray to god that protien drink will work for me.

I seem to be having an emotional day today, guess its normal. I am actually wanting food lol..... def can wait until July 1st hope stomach is ready lol..... I dont regret this at all.

well im 6 days post op and still having protien shake issues, i may just break and call dr tomorrow see what they suggest. I feel good though, i do get tired easy but i dont nap and people tell me i should and i do to much lol... but thats me go go go. i made a pact that i would not get on my scale until i go back to my post op appt on July first and blew it today i got on it says i lost 9lbs since surgery that felt good...

Well i did it. i had my surgery on wednesday June 16th. The first day i was not allowed to have anything, the 2nd day i had an ugi and all was good and went from icu to the 4th floor. I then started with ice chip which was the best lol... by evening i got my first lesson over doing it yet i didnt dump, but i was full full full, it took me 2 hours to get it to settle down. but aft that all was well, I was so excited that i came home on friday. I will tell anyone to please aft the first day get off the pump pain meds and walk walk walk it did that and WOW it was great i felt so much better, another 2 people that had it the same day stayed in bed and didnt walk and ended up dumpin and not able to go home.

I had my first bowel movement yesterday i was like hell yea! 
I had some of the people from this site come and vistit me and it was the best to put faces with names. It made my day thank you gals for ur support.

Today (saturday)

I finally got a good nights sleep thank god, I started out my day with some protien and went good 2 times, seem to be having trouble all day after getting in my fluids i think i feel full full, sometimes i feel like if i put 1 more sip in me im gonna die yet worried about dehydration, i have done alot of walking  ard my house today and i am very tired right now. So i think i will take some pain medicine to sleep with tonight and relax. Tomorrow is another day!

I went to my appt today and weighed in i lost 17lbs .  I Saw my Dr. and he was like i had no doubt with you, you have been ready from day one, made me feel so good! I am celebrating by having some creak of chicken soup today lol!!!  during prep i didnt have any broth or soup so i didnt retaing fluid but hey i deserve that soup!

Thank you ALL for the confidence in me and the prayers its so nice to know im not alone!!!.


GOD BLESS!

5 Days into my pre-op  first 3 days were very hard for me, i guess i was going through those normal sugar, salt , caffeine withdraws was very tired and head a headache. I started taking B-12 and that seem to help and i feel so much better now. 
Funny thing is i told my hubby I now know what an empty stomach feels likes and it actually grows for hunger lol.. he was like um ok hahahhaha. I am not turning back im going full force and i will have that wt gained off by the 14th.

Well i went on tuesday June 1st for my pre op appointment only to be crushed, I gained 11lbs and was told if i dont lose it by June 14th my surgery will be cancelled.  Doesnt this prove i need help... I cried and cried ... So i decided as of today i will start my prep early, i wasnt  suppose to start until sunday for 10 days,  I was also told it may be best to not do the broth and cream soup. I have started to walk again with hopes i can take off the weight.  My first day was not all that bad, as long as i keep myself busy im ok its when i see my family eat i wanted food. I need to do this i have wanted this surgery for so long and i am on the verge of blowing it all. I will pray and ask god to give me the strenght and courage to get this wt off.

I will keep everyone posted.
