Left overs = happy dogs

3 weeks out and doc gave me the green light on mushy to normal food... Not to overdo anything. Obviously lol   I have been doing small meals through the day.... 2 bites and in the fridge it goes. Soup, mashed potatoes, chicken salad, chips and salsa (3 chips)   I have not got myself to do fruit yet because I can't do the banana or apple that cost 89 cents a lb and take one bite and have to toss it.   Dogs are loving this tho. All the extra gets to them because I have so much left over

3 days post surgery update

Hey there everyone! I'm home, well at my moms home. I left the hospital yesterday (Sunday). I'm a little sore just sore like I did a crap load of sit ups. I do have some brusing but not too bad. Photos attached.   I got lots of support and visitors while I was in the hospital too. Lost of great family and friends. Beautiful flowers too! I was the only one on our floor walking, and I actually was the one who asked the nurse can I get up I'm sick of laying here.... They were all impressed! I had a huge gas bubble that was painful for the first 23 hours until I got something for it to help pass. When I finally got to "fart" I blew thru my pj pants and bed... So embarrassed! Took a hot shower there too felt like heaven! I was up and down heat wise... I just wasn't 100% good there. But I made the very best of it.   On the way out I had 5 vases of flowers and mom ran to get the car... Some orderly of e hospital was by the door and was like ahhh you finally get to go home.... Where is the baby? I was like well I didn't have a baby but I hope that is the last time I get that sad misunderstanding again. Thanks! Butt face!   I wore cute pjs and gave my nurse goodies and they all loved it... Was sad to leave I made a few friends but hate to say its been fun but peace out lol.   I'm home now, eating broth and shakes... I have a Popsicle here and there and water or tea... Went for a walk and cleaned my moms kitchen floor... I'm pooped now and will be laying down for a cat nap.   Love ellie

EGD done today, surgery scheduled 7/27/13

Hey reader,   I'm 29, so YouTube and google I have grown up with and know when I want info about ANYTHING I just go there and within 30 mins of multiple searches and video watching I feel like I'm well knowledged in whatever I'm looking for...with that I start my journey...   I live in dallas, however my surgery will take place in Huntsville (about 2 1/2 hours south) because my mom works there in the surgery dept. I took the afternoon off and headed to town to meet the doc at 4, but he was in back to back surgerys so I was unable to have our "appointment in the office". So I went for my group meeting with the hospital. To say the least that was short and interesting... I have done so much research I swore I answered everything in my head before the doc or assistant could. The lady by us was a southern lady who didn't much care about anything except if she could eat her greens!   I have been having lots of heartburn and reflex so the dr wanted to do a scope to look at my stomach, very agreeing I said yes and he scheduled it for 8 am. Took all of 10 minutes but I had to be put under, which I had no idea... No pain involved except a scratchy throat after words.   They found a large growth and took a sample to ensure its not cancer, but he told me he wants me back in two weeks for my sleeve, because he wants to remove this (photo attached)   Very excited to have this done.... To start the life I want to live but can't due to being over weight.... 1. Going shopping in cute hip normal sizes 2. Doing normal day to day things without being overdone 5 seconds into it 3. Boys who may want to actually want to date me 4. No back pain 5. Sit comply in a chair, or airplane 6. Not fear of being looked at for being fat 7. Being healthy     Any suggestions for my one week liquid diet, and after suggestions please comment...   Ellie j
