After an emergent band removal and 6 months healing time, I finally got my RNY bright and early Monday morning!

2 hours and 8 minutes til ice chips!!! Can not wait!!!!

Mommy frog and baby frog...these were packed by my 8 year old, in case I get lonely

Actually kinda got behind the pain while I was sleeping and didn't push the pump...more pain now than earlier and super queasy for the last 30 minutes or so. Just got some zofran so hopefully that's about to calm down. Back to lalaland for me! Gnight!!!

And officially on the losers bench. All went well, a lot of adhesions to clear out and SURPRISE had a hiatal hernia that got repaired as well (no one knew I even had a hiatal hernia!!) Hitting my morphine pump on a regular basis, would kill for ice chips right now (10:00 tomorrow morning I get ice chips). Will be heading out to walk for the first time in just a few minutes. I did end up with a JP drain and my catheter is still in. All in all doing much better than expected on night ....so happy to be done with it!!!

So I'm spending today and tomorrow trying to get every thing in order for the next week or two. Bills paid, valentines bought for my son, son signed up for spring soccer, house decent, laundry done, etc. my son is spending the night with his BFF, I'm laying down trying to chill out for the night, and started bawling my eyes out. I know it's the lack of food and the pre-op jitters but OMG this sucks! Come on Monday!!!!!!

Headed out the door as well... In the immortal words of Tone-loc...let's do it!

So not getting any sleep at all tonight :/ too much going on in my brain!!!!

That's the same protocol as my doc. The flint stones each have a fairly high iron content so mine doesn't require additional iron unless yours gets low.

Oh no!!! I'm so sorry!!!! Heal quickly and hopefully they can reschedule you quickly. Good luck

Lucky is right. I feel so blessed my time has finally come! Remind me of that tomorrow night HW 312, pre-op (lap-band) 294, pre-op (RNY) 255, surgery date 2/11/13, goal weight 154, current weight 241.6

But the breakdown products get expelled when you exhale or removed via the potty.

Your body burns the fat that's in the cells and the cells shrink, once you have made fat cells they don't go anywhere but they can shrink as you use the contents for energy.

Okay now that I think I'm going to live....I woke up just after midnight last night throwing up my toenails.....spent the morning sleeping or clinging to the toilet for dear life. In between those 2 activities I was bawling because I knew if this didn't pass they'd cancel me for tomorrow!!!! I'm now 7 hours vomit free and drinking water an a little juice like a crazy woman trying to rehydrate myself and make sure my electrolytes are okay for tomorrow.....think it's all going to be okay now but ROUGH MORNING!!!!! BUT it did make for the easiest day of clear liquid diet ever
