Feeling Just Fine!
Sep 16, 2010
As of today, I am 3 days post op. I am still a lil sore, but other than that I feel fine. I came home from the hospitol yesterday afternoon and I have tried to stay as active a possible and my dr advised, to try to minimize the risk of blood clots. I must say that my stay at the hospital was great. The entire nursing staff was so pleasant, attentive and accomindating. This has been a good experience. So I started out with my weight in Aug 2010 at 335 and I lost some weight during the liquid diet..on the day of surgery, my weight was 315. Thats a 20 lb loss even before surgery!!! I am happy about that. I am now looking forward to getting out to the 300s altogether. My Dr says he belives I will lose about 30 lbs in the first month!! . I cant believe that..but I am making every effort to make this happen. I feel so motivated. I will make sure to update on my progress!
2nd Day of liquid diet
Aug 28, 2010
When I went to an appointment at my surgeon's office on Tuesday, I was hit with a surprise...I was told to start the liquid diet that next day!!!. I was a little upset because before, I was thinking that I wouldnt have to start until 10 days before my surgery. But the surgeon is concerned about the size of my liver and I needed me to start ASAP. So, that night, my family took me out for my last good meal. We went to O'Charleys and I ate goooood...lol. Probably too good, and I had a very good margarita. My farewell to fattening food was a good thing, but of course I was kinda sad, because food has been my addiction for so long, that it's kinda like taking crack from a crackhead lol. So yesterday was my first day on the liquid diet, and I found a very good protein shake at Sams Club called EAS in chocolate and I was suprised at how good it tastes. I had 2 of those, one for breakfast and lunch and then for dinner I had baked talapia and mixed veggies, and of course plenty of water and crystal lite teas throughout the day. Well needless to say this is very challenging, but I am so determined to do this thing right, because I DO NOT want my surgery date to have to be postponed over a few pounds. So wish me luck!
