POST OP...3 days
Jan 25, 2013
I feel so much better today than I did a couple of days ago. I would recommend RNY to anyone! I would also recommend Dr. John Oldham Jr. to anyone! He's the greatest. So nice. I already lost 30 pounds total.
IT'S FINALLY FRIDAY!
Jan 17, 2013
Also known as my last day at work before the surgery! HOT DIGGITY! I am still so excited! Get to spend the night Sunday in the Hyatt in Louisville and then it's off to la la land in the hospital the next morning! Wish me luck!
COUNTING DOWN THE DAYS
Jan 15, 2013
UNTIL I GET TO PUSH YOU ALL OFF THE LOSERS BENCH TO MAKE ROOM FOR ME.....JUST JOSHIN' . 4 MORE DAYS!
DAY 5 PRE OP
Jan 10, 2013
I did it! I made it to day 5 pre op! Last night I finally got the correct slim fast....the premixed low carb one and it tastes different than the powder (see my previous blog to understand). It is not bad though, it's actually tasty....just a little bit chalky aftertaste but not bad. I want to get the house TOTALLY clean this weekend since I hope to be very busy on my last weekend before surgery with friends and family. Already got the daughters room done (after the hurricane and tornado hit it with all her clothes!). Now I'm going to have my son tackle his room and I'm going to tackle my room and the living room. I am getting more and more excited as the time draws nearer to the new me! I can't wait to jump through THOSE HOOPS! Hopefully I'll be playing hula hoop too soon!
Day 2 pre op
Jan 07, 2013
Well, I survived the first day. The only bad thing that happened was I got a really bad headache and still have it this morning. Now, onto day 2! What surprises will today hold? Let's find out.
Day 1 Pre op diet
Jan 06, 2013
Well, I just finished my first of many High Protein Creamy Chocolate Shakes. It actually was quite tasty. Not chalky as I thought it would be. That will make it much easier to stay on board with it. Today I go to the grocery store to get more. I don't think this one can will last me that long. LOL. What flavors have you concocted with either the chocolate or vanilla shakes?
My last day...today
Jan 06, 2013
Finally made it to my last day before I start my two week diet...I had biscuits for breakfast, lunch was suddenly salad and hotdogs, dinner was ham steak and mashed potatoes, but...the piece de resistance...a large chocolate blizzard from Dairy Queen. I went out with a bang.
My doctor said I could drink Slim Fast High Protein starting tomorrow. Five shakes a day. TOTALLY WORTH IT!
I FINALLY GOT MY SURGERY DATE!
Jan 03, 2013
Can you tell I'm happy? Gee, I don't know how you could! LOL Finally got my surgery date for January 21st.....half of me is estatic and the other half is nervous. Not nervous about the surgery or the doctor....but for the after effects and how I will be able to eat and drink with such a small stomach. I'll be spending one night in the hospital and a week and a half at home. What do I need to pack with me for the hospital? Just chapstick? I'll wear the same clothes I came in back home.
3 more days
Dec 31, 2012
Until my consult. I'm not worrying about the surgery, just the financial aspect of it. I know I have insurance, and I have a deductible and that my health is more important than any bills, but I still worry. I'm not going to back out though. I can't. I owe it to me and my family to have this done. God will take care of the rest and He will never lead me into anything I can't handle.
