sleeve 4 me

Thanks so much Breezy, I soooo appreciate it! Well I hit 199 today so that feels pretty good:thumbup:...

And on top of that I found a pretty big lump on my left breast the night before the surgery, can you believe that??? But it worked out because Dr. Zane was able to get a biopsy while I was asleep. Thank you so much for your feedback I really need to hear it gets better:redface1:, I know it will.

I'm with ya lil diva...1 pound to onederland! Maybe I will get there tomorrow:lol0:

By the way these are NOT stupid or silly questions at all! I need help with the same questions:thumbup:

OMGOSH! I'm right there with you with the pain! Mine feel like labor pains seriously! I need to get another type of liquid pain medication asap. Because they gave me tylenol with codine but it knocks me out and all I do is sleep, not good! I'm not even worried about protein right now, I'm just trying to get fluids and Vitamins in for now. I will cross the protein bridge at my post op appointment next week:redface1:, otherwise it's way toooooo overwhelming for me:frown1:.

Awesome! Little by little:biggrin2:...I'm so happy you get reimbursed and hotel stay? that is wonderful! Good for you!

I guess so...and he said he (anesthesiologist) was going to take care of me like his own family (?????) lol! I really want this to heal ASAP!

Also thanks so much for the many messages of support and love...hugs <3 to all!

I LIIIIIIIIVE (little dragon from Mulan :-) !!! Oh my peeps:rolleyes:! OMGOSH! Today is the first day I feel pretty good. I made myself get dressed and my mother took me to run a few errands so I could get some walking in. This journey started off super rough for me. Today I was finally able to get more fluids in and even started taking my Vitamins. It's so difficult getting fluids in when you have pain and having a messed up long scratched up uvula doesn't help (it's so gross I tell you)...But I'm doing it slowly but surely. I really don't think I was mentally prepared as to how little I would actually be able to take in. It's not that I'm hungry at all, but it's the pressure that I know that I have to get fluids in or end up back in the hospital :confused1:. Besides the gas, messed up uvula and not getting fluids in, one of my staples (holding up a good chunk of fat) on my stomach is super sore (I'm still swollen inside and out). The good news is I know this time will pass and I'm praying that everyday WILL get better, I know it will:biggrin2:.

I hope you can see this, still using my BlackBerry. I'm going home today. Everyone has been nice here but I can't wait to go home sniff sniff...

Gas X strips for sure!!!! :-)

Ok my surgeon just told me he's keeping me another day because I'm not getting enough fluids in. I told him it hurts to drink and he said that should not be happening, so we are going to work on this today...I don't know how people say they are out shopping 1 day after surgery, that is truly amazing. My uvula got pretty beat up too during the surgery, did this happen to anyone else? I can literally feel it hanging at the back of my throat, SO GROSS! Anyway, I'm hopeful for a better day today, and I will try and drink more and walk more :-) hugs...

OMGOSH! So much to tell! I'm using my blackberry to post this :-)...I'm still here in the hospital and trying to deal with this terrible gas...yesterday was super tough, I was so out of it (on morphine all day) lol. Today is much better but still painful, some of these pains are worse than labor pains (for me anyway). I had something really scarry happen to me on Thursday the night before my surgery. I found a large lump on my left breast :-(. My surgeon was able to get a biopsy during the sleeve. He said it wasn't a cyst and would have to be surgically removed. He also said the biopsy didn't look like cancer, so that was good news. Anyway, I think I may be released tomorrow. I will post another update once I get home. Please keep me in your prayers :-)...hugs.

Thanks soooo much my peeps! I'm so hungry right now, I could cry:crying:, but I'm thankful I didn't have to do this liquid diet for more than 2 days.

Congrats!!!

Congrats humpty :-) you're on your way!!!

LOL! I truly pray it is! You crack me up humpty! I'm still cracking up about "diary of a mad fat woman" LOL! Funny!

I love that picture tooooo! Hot mama! :thumbup1: Man I hope I can take a picture like that next summer (sleeveless dress)...I would CRY!

That is awesome! So happy for YOU! Bring on the sleeve I tell you :-)!

Ok your theme song is "Ain't no stoppin us Now" for SURE! Love it!
