I have an appointment with my surgeon today. I'm so nervous onee how much I've really lost since my one month appointment. It's gotten a lot easier in some ways and harder in others. I get nauseous at the smell of almost all repeat meals no matter what it is so that's been hard but my liquid consumption has gone up so I guess it equals out. Lol. I'll post again when I weigh in today at 4. Eeeeeeekkkkkk. Nervous. .-.- 

 

 

SURGERY DAY.

I guess I should go back now that I have more mobility and I'm not so grouchy. lol.

 

I talked with so many people prior to surgery day, I had my own routine for my vitamins and protein and I thought I knew what to expect. Honestly, you really have no idea until you go through it yourself cause everything I thought I knew went out the window.

I was so nervous. My husband had worked the night before my surgery so I told him to just sleep and then come after the surgery was completed. My dad dropped me off and I told him it didn't make sense for him to stay since there wasn't much for him to do so I was on my own. The 2 nurses Selena and Deena that did my check in and my iv and all that were my angels. they really helped to calm me down and they didn't leave my side until I went to the operating room. Without them, I would have probably lost my edge and ran away with my gown flapping in the win and butt showing.

I fell asleep before they even told me to count backwards. I guess I was just too nervous and emotionally drained. -.- ZzzZzZZz

I got out of surgery, went to the ICU to wait until I woke up alittle and I felt like there was a strap around my neck. I couldn't cough, I couldn't talk and I was furious that they kept trying to lay me down. I had the meanest gas build up in my chest from the gas they pump up your tummy with. I woke up an hour later in my room. Almost immediately I wanted to go walking. eyes, half open, could barely breath, but I wanted to go. I almost fell twice so they put me back into bed. the first day I didn't want anyone touching me or my pillows or the bed or anything touching anything that was touching me. I have a very high tolerance for pain but I still loved the morphine button. I heard to bring a book and some chapstick and some things to keep you busy but really, the only thing I needed was the chapstick and Biotene mouthrinse and my pillows. I didn't touch anything else. my ipad was left untouch. didn't start my book and didn't even open my word search. I slept, walked, sipped, and slept. I was so excited to get home to my once comfy bed and as soon as I laid down, my bed felt like a bag of rocks. I slept on the couch for the first week. lol.

Overall, I didn't have any major complications which is good. now that I'm alittle over 2 weeks out, everyday is trial and error. I learn new things everyday, which foods I can and can't tolerate and how far I can push myself. It's is definitely an interesting experience. I don't regret going through with it but I do wish that I could have taken that morphine button home. hahaha.

I swear i'm surrounded by things I can't have and my supposed supporters are the very ones rubbing it in my face. I know that I can't ask anyone to change their ways but my mom was the very one who has been a health freak from the very beginning. She told me we are all going to go on a diet. She's the very one who has been baking everyday, cupcakes, cakes, buying ice cream and buying fast food almost every other night after work. I'm so frustrated. I keep telling her that right now, I'm going through so much changes and I'm emotional and tired of trying to get all my liquids and im not used to to sipping and I'm trying but I'm locked in my room just so I don't put myself through torture. Ugh. I just wanna scream.

I am so sore. everyday gets better but it's still a struggle trying to stand up, sit down, roll over, no where feels comfortable. on a plus side, i finally got to take a shower today! yay! the little things you take for granted.

I can't really consume alot but i'm working on my liquid intake. I know it only gets better from here! :D

 

After reading a lot of posts about being denied insurance approvals, I am so blessed and happy to say that I have received my insurance approval last Friday and was able to schedule a surgery date!  I am too excited! Anyone else schedule for January 15, 2013?
