12 Days Post Op!!

Today is day twelve!! Im feeling great! Besides wanting to have "normal food" Im handling the diet stages pretty well.. WIth only one major break down.. Im only taking in 2 oz and it seems Im full. I actually forget to eat??? I dont know if this is normal without a fill. I burp now pretty much after every meal or drink I take. (which NEVER happened before) I was always proned to getting the hiccups but NOW It seems like I ALWAYS have them, is this normal? I check in every monday, so tomorrow you can bet your bottom Im mentioning all of the above. I toss and turn ALOt more at night. Im not feeling any pain or anything. I swear by the Jay Robb unflavored unsweetend protein whey. I couldnt handle anything else. I really want to just sit down and eat some grilled chicken or have a homemade taco or a salad or something.. Ill even go with tofu. I have all these new recipes I want to try out. Im cranky at dinner time when I have to walk away from the food! I feel like I could start the next phase of the diet now. I had a scrambled egg yesterday chopped and it was fine. But I didnt want to push it . Im hoping tomorrow I can move on to chopped foods. because I dont have a puree thing. And Im eating baby food ::TEAR:::

3 Days Post -Op Help :)

Its been 3 full days since surgery. Im not in any pain ( Havent needed 1 prescribed pain pill) I get that pressure in the chest and have to get up and walk around even if its 2:30 in the morning. Last night was the first night I was comfortable laying on my side.. I broke out the body pillow and slept like I was 8 months pregnant. LOL.. Im bored with the liquid diet. And I hate The WHeY protein crap.. << need help with the BEST tasting one.. so anyone who reads this PLEASE HELP!! I actually feel hungry and I try to keep myself busy when I feel like I could eat; which is really only meal times. The broth and so on isnt cutting it.. I still have all weekend. Last night my husband came in the bedroom and I was like " hey you smell like BBQ'd chips" Well yea he did because he was just eating them!! ( this is how pathetic I am) I said " Kiss me" lol I got a taste of the flavor.. I know that sounds soo gross.. but really Thats how desprate I am.. Can I survive this? And Im not burbing, I have this loud hiccup thing going on.. And Im coming out the other end..total bummer. My mom says see can already see a differance.. Well yay! Im not eating even a quarter of what I use to .. Hell Im not eating at ALL.. I refuse to weigh myself right now.. I feel like Im an anerexic.. (this cant be healthy) I might not be understanding the amount of the protein shake iam aloud ? but I was told only 3oz .. that cant be enough for my BIG organs can it? Is my body getting the nutrition it needs. I cant even do my chewable vitamins till my next stage. I feel weak and I have no idea how I am to start work monday.. ugh well and suggestions?? please!!!

Surgery Tomorrow! <3 8/21

Tomorrow is the big day! I was getting really nervous and today I got a phone call from my doctor!! He was calling to reasure me and to see if I had any last minute questions about the procedure and that I should be receiving a phone call from the surgery debt of the hosp at some point(which they called already). So Im really getting excited! And that ONE phone call really helped with some of my nerves! I go in at 6AM and my op is 7:30 am..So I should be home by the afternoon.

Pre-(Sh)Op

Okay So I went shopping for everything I may need post op today!! ugh everything I knew I couldnt buy or wanted was screeming my name... Maybe I was hungry? It was really sad and liberating.. .I can do this. I can live on water, broth, ice pops and jello.. Cant I ? "o boy" I hope so.. I was sitting with my 3 yr old son and he just came up to me and gave me a hug.. ( he knows something is going on when we go grocery shopping and not get ANY junk) If Im making a change; Everyone is.. My son needs to learn what eating healthy is too and its not to late for him. O0o0o and on a better note!! I got a new robe, slippers and pj's!! (macy's is having a sale and I went a little crazy!) I deserve it!! So Im going to end this with Its a new begining and I cant wait for this journey to begin so I can LIVE!! I stopped on the way home from my pre-op testing and did something I would never normally do... I got my hair cut!! ( I have a fear of haircuts; there-fore have always had LONNNG hair) I donated 15 inch to 'children with hairloss' and still have hair to my colar-bone, so already my life is going forward instead of stuck in the house reading a book because Im to ashamed of myself to take my son to the park.!! <3 -MegS

Aahh I Get Banded Aug 21St!!

Everything is happening so fast! I was only going for a consultation in July and Im already scheduled for surgery aug.21st!! I didnt even have to do a pre diet. I go for my pre-op testing tomorrow. I know I need this to have a happier and healthier me, but should I be having second thoughts so close to surgery? I feel like I should be better prepared or have been on some diet ( i prob. would have failed at anyway) , Ive been to classes and have read as much as I could handle and although a bigger part is ready I have my one goddess trying to pull me down.. Now that that is out of the way my job is complicated, and its very hard to get off short notice, and you dont have a very big window when it comes to a surgery date.. I was able to get 3 days off that includes day of surgery... this is probably pushing it, but Im a small animal surgeon and I have surgeries already booked for weels in advance and could only find coverage for those days.. will i be okay to go back?
