- Well everyone I am one week out from the surgery now. So before Nod and I were introduced I weighed in at 369 and today I weighed in at 361. So that's 8 pounds down in a week. Before Nod I took metformin 1000 mgs two times a day and now I don't...
- So Nod is the name I have given to this new alien life form inside of me called my new stomach. I tried some pureed refried beans today for lunch and no sooner got a bite in than I was rushing to the bathroom to eject it. Since then Nod has...
- pureed homemade beef stew and it was wonderful. I was hoping my tastes wouldn't change that much from before surgery and so far they haven't my stew tasted just as good as I remembered it even if it was in pureed stage. I was staying warm until...
- and I think I did pretty good. I got in 50 grams of protein, and 70 oz of liquid to drink of which a good portion of it was actually water flavored with some crystal light. So far so good nothing has bothered me or made me sick. I am crossing my...
- surgery went well. I ended up with nine different incision sites. Pain management, walking bits at a time, and getting my fluids in are my big concerns right now. But it sure feels better to be home than at a hospital where their answer to rest...
- we are going to head up tonight after my sister picks up my son when she gets off work. Just because with the weather the way it is we don't want to drive it in the wee early hours of the morning. I am getting both scared and nervous and think I...
- I am getting so close to my surgery date. Just a few short days. On wednesday is the big day. I will try to get on before I go again and if not will work on getting on to let you all know I am doing ok.
- we are getting closer to my surgery day. Next wednesday as a matter of fact. I'm getting really nervous about the whole thing. I'm having the hardest time knowing that I will have to be in the hospital for three days and that those three days I...
- I have my protein supplements and vitamins for when I come home. I am already pre-registered and have had all my pre-op testing done. Now all I have to do is go check in at 6:30 in the morning on surgery day. The surgery is scheduled for 8:30...
- I will be having my surgery on October 17 at 7:30 am. It seems so close yet so far away. I am going on friday to do the pre-op appointment, testing and admissions for the hospital. Then all that will be left is to go to the hospital on surgery...
- right now it seems like since I got the news that my surgery was approved and know that I will be having it in a few weeks. I haven't really cared about any kind of sugar, fatty things before this but now I am seriously craving these things. I...
- Just got the call from the surgeons office and I have been approved for the surgery. I am waiting for a call from the scheduling to make sure that my date of October 17 is still set. I can't believe it. Won't be long and I will be there.
- then these darn flies would die off and be done. Its impossible to keep them out of the house with a child that comes in an out in the afternoons and weekends. My only hope of getting rid of them is a good freeze outside so that I can spray inside...
- well I just got off the phone with the surgeons office and am happy to report that everything has been submitted to insurance for approval and I should have approval in the next two weeks. Looking like I may be able to keep that October 17 date...
- go in to see the cardiologist today and hopefully he signs off on the surgery so it can be submitted to insurance and I can keep my date of October 17. Here's hoping all goes well will let you know all know later thank you so much for being here...
