5 weeks out
Aug 30, 2008
Well, I'm 5 weeks out from surgery, feeling great. Down 21 lbs. I'm not looking forward to returning to work on Tuesday, I have enjoyed having this time off and could easily get used to becomming a homemaker (but it doesn't pay as well
). I rarely have back pain anymore. Prior to surgery, I was up most nights with excruciating spasms and pain. I still have some but it's usually only when I turn onto my stomach, which is much more tolerable. Life is good.

WLS date
Jul 02, 2008
Finally, I got my date......July 25th at 7:30am. It's been a long wait. 2 weeks before surgery I'll start my pre-op diet. I actually look foreward to it, one more "phase" to put behind me. How odd is that?
7-30-08 Well, its been 5 days since my surgeries (RNY, cholecystectomy & tubal), and 5 of the most miserable days of my life, filled with pain and bloating. Fortunately I've got a loving, caring husband who carried me through these rough days. I'm still not getting all my protein and fluids in, but I guess that's normal so new out. My surgery wt was 232, 2 days post -op. wt 242. It's starting to come down now. I go to see my case mgnr and nutritionist tomorrow. I hope they have a lot of good ideas for me. The smell of the protein powder almost makes me nauseated. Looking forward to better days ahead in this new way of life.
