Time to Update!

Nov 12, 2010

Well it is definitely time to update! I am now two weeks out from surgery that I thought would never come. It finally did, I got my call (actually I called them) on Oct 14, they had tried to get a hold of me the day before and I missed the call. So when I called they said yes we are scheduling you to have surgery with Dr. Beausoleil on Oct 28th wow I flipped. That was only 2 weeks and so I had to immediately start my boost and water. Talk about withdrawel and headaches, also started my period then, whew rough week. Any how I lost 21lbs in my pre-op liquid diet, that was a great start for sure. I had my pre-admission tests on Tuesday the 19th in Moncton. I had bloodwork, an electrocardiogram, x rays and a meeting with Lisa my favorite WLS nurse! It went pretty smooth, my cousin Susan was with me for support and company. So it ends up they were admitting me on Oct 28th and I was having surgery on Oct 29th. Everything went well and my awsome sister Marj flew into Moncton from Ontario to be with me during surgery and for a week after to help out at home. How blessed I am to have such a great sister. So here I am 2 weeks later, healing and trying to figure out my new little tummy. I am still working to get in my protein and water, it is a full time job. I have my appt on Monday the 15th to get my staples removed thank goodness for that, they are driving me crazy! Really! I am down 40lbs in 4 weeks(counting the pre-op diet) so all is good and will update again in a month or so. !!!!
