Please stop buying masks. Hospitals already can't get any to care for people with the actual virus. Stay home. Wash your hands.

I’m in the hospital now. Had my surgery this morning. Pro tip: super hydrate the day before. It was very had for them to get my IV in because I guess I hadn’t drunk enough and I took the magnesium citrate.

I think I have entered what my surgeon called “the tunnel of misery”. I bought so many different broths and Soups so I’d have a variety, and the idea of ANY of them makes me nauseous. I also can just BARELY stand the thought of any of the shakes. And I desperately want all the food my husband is cooking for my family. I know I’ll get through it, and it’s worth it, I just needed to share with people who would get it.
Also, I’m so sorry to the people who are getting canceled. From my perspective, I am terrified right now about developing complications that could send me back to the hospital in the midst of chaos. For example, I developed a little respiratory rattle in the Hospital BC I can’t breathe deeply bc of the pain, and I’m so scared it will develop into pneumonia. Also I feel like while I’m healing my immune system is compromised, so I’m nervous about that too.
I don’t mean to devalue the experience of getting your surgery postponed. I would have been devastated. But there are some pros to it.
Now will someone help me get out of the Tunnel of Misery?

Tomorrow is the bid day for me! Drank my magnesium citrate GROSS! I checked and so far, surgery is still a go.

Well, we are about to enter week 3 and congratulations to all of the March surgeries completed so far. Because I started my liquid fast on March 1st, I'm at day 15 and counting.
My surgery is 72 hours away. I do hope for the best and I'm trying to be as even-headed as possible. There is a lot going on in the world right now and I want to be, above all, safe.
So let's all hope for the best and continue to do our due diligence. ❤️

I was taking dilaudid for that sharp pain. No one warned me!

I'm all sleeved and in my room until tomorrow! The gas pain is for real. I've never been so happy to burp in my life. My mouth is super dry, but alas, everything went perfectly. Being a nurse, it's hard to be the patient!
I hope everyone else's procedures go smoothly. I'm thinking of you all!

That irritation is so real! I think burping helped. Walking helped a ton too! And I feel like I'm sleeping in 15 minute increments. 😴 -

Best wishes for all of the March 10th folk today!!!!! Just met with part of the surgical team; the main guy is probably in surgery right now.
Vitals were really good; officially down 24# since starting with this journey; 29# from my highest weight posted here and 32# from my highest weight. BP looking very good. Next to the dentist to get this cap and then to kidney specialist for labs.
My surgery is tentative scheduled for March 17th, but may move to March 18th (some hospital schedule crap stuff), but I'm moving full steam ahead.

1 hour until I leave for the hospital 🥳 I slept so well last night, that has to be a good sign, right ?!?!?

Suddenly panicking now that the office called with my arrival and OR time for tomorrow. I'm worried this is a mistake and I'm a mess. 😟
