Glad I can help out =)

Yea fattymcfatterson like JMarshall said it's normal because of the breathing tube that they have down your throat during surgery. I was dry heaving and blood was coming up the whole night. I was scared out of my mind, but they said it's normal for that to happen. firstday, the same thing happen to me. I was constipated and they gave me 2 enemas and it only helped a bit. I'm still constipated...I may need another one. But, the gas pains are not as bad as they were, but I'm going to definitely try the Gas X stripes. Thanks for telling me about them! I need anything to make this gas go away.

So, the night of surgery was horrible!! I was throwing up blood and gagging everywhere. Couldn't sleep at all. It was just a terrible night. They try to get me walking yesterday and I was too out of it to even move. I just needed pain med after pain med and blood pressure meds. The nurses were so nice to me and they became like family. They told me to come back in 6 months to come visit them to show them my progress. I love them!! Was able to sleep better last night. Woke up this morning...my mom helped me take a shower, talked to the surgeon and was able to go home. Finally was able to eat something today. Had some warm tea, jello, and chicken broth. Constipated, but hopefully it's just because I haven't really eaten much. The gas in my stomach is what's killing me at this point. Big gas bubbles yet nothing is coming out. It's just stuck there =( They told me I need to start walking, but I just hate it because it hurts and I still don't have the energy. But, I don't want any blood clots and I know it may help with my gas too right? Well, I'm pretty tired so I'm going to relax, sip on my isopure, and probably take a walk soon. Just trying to be strong and get through this. Thanks everybody for the support =)

Could barely sleep last night...woke up just a few minutes ago and I feel like I'm going to FREAK!! I'm trying to stay as calm as possible, but I know as soon as I get in here I'm going to have a panic attack. I can just feel it coming on. I'm so scared like you wouldn't want to believe!! I hope I don't back down. I know God will be with me and I have my family and friends there and an amazing surgeon, but I guess it's only natural to be afraid. I'm TERRIFIED though lol Well everybody I'm about to get ready and out the door I go!! I will be updating once I'm out of the hospital probably tomorrow afternoon so keep a look out. Hopefully I won't be in that much pain. Thank you all for the support <3 =)

So, tomorrow is my surgery. I find out today what time I have to be at the hospital. It is really starting to set in...my life is going to be changing. I've been stuck in this rut for years and been overweight all my life. I know I'm ready for this change, but it's just a scary thing. I'm trying to make peace with everything before I go in. Make sure everything is good in my life. I took "before" pictures of myself yesterday before I go in and I just can't believe how big I am. I don't like it. I can't wait to lose this and look and feel good about myself. Once I get out of that hospital it's a new me, new decisions, new life, and I'm leaving my past behind me. No more will I let it get me down. No more will I think about the nasty words my ex use to say to me when we were together. No more will I put myself down. From here on out I will tell myself I'm beautiful inside and out. I I'm honestly ready to have a panic attack. For my scope I did and it wasn't that bad lol I was close to backing out then just because I was afraid. I can't think about the fear...I have to think about the end result, but I'm still a nervous wreck. This is my first surgery and the first time I've ever stayed overnight in the hospital. So thankful for my best friend who is going to stay overnight with me. I have such good friends and an AMAZING family that have my back through this whole thing. I couldn't ask for anything more. I thank God every day for the many blessings and I know this is just another blessing he has given me. An awesome surgeon who cares, family, friends, and this surgery. I'm so excited to start my new life. To start working again after years of being unemployed, getting a car again, finding my own place, going to school. I want to travel the world and above all I want to help people. Just pray that God helps me to stay strong through this all. It's already been exhausting emotionally, but I know I'll get through it.

Thank you so much guys =) So much appreciated and I definitely will be updating to say how I'm doing a long the way. Good luck to you too notsoonenough69 =)
