I was filled 1.9 cc's and water seems to be going down well...

I'm doing hip hop abs and I just finished my first week. I excercise Monday thru Saturday! :faint: This weeks plan also calls for exercising two times a day on certain days. I'm taking this VERY SERIOUSLY. I simply cannot attain the goals I want for my body and health without exercise.

My incisions were glued. And healed up sooooo nicely. I tend to keloid, but the one I did, was very flat almost non noticeable.:mad:

I re visit Dr. Liu on the 13th and get my first fill....I'm super excited, my friend Andrea is getting her second on the same day I also had my first whistle in a lOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOng time the other day. I was wearing some cute sweat pants with a butterfly tattoo along the butt and walked past this cute guy and he whistled That was nice. I also start Hip Hop Abs on Monday....seems interesting For my birthday I would like to get a tattoo....I'm finding other ways of rewarding myself instead of food. God is sooooooooooooooo Good and I want to wish you all a very Happy Easter. For God so loved this world that He gave His only begotten son. So that whomsoever believeth in Him shall have life and more everlasting. Give your life to Jesus- You won't regret it! :biggrin1: I don't Love, Desi

Y'all all are very fortunate :welldoneclap: All I had for my pain was Liquid Tyleno LOL...see I can laugh about it now, but three weeks ago??? Ouchie!

I'm two weeks post op and don't regret a thing about my labpand. This is the best thing I could ever have done for myself. Can I get a bump!? :clap2:

I'm thrilled! down 20 some odd lbs and feeling wonderful. My port isn't as sore as before and I am happy about my little journey.

I'm six days post op and having trouble sleeping. I sleep on my back and I swear it feels heavy in my chest (in between the twins) Is this normal?? :help:

ooh the gas hurts

Very Cute!!! Holla

Hi Everyone! Thanks for all the well wishes and prayers....I haven't been on in a while and need to update my journal. Day 2 Post Op March 13, 2007 @ 5:51am Woke up about a quarter to six, my usual time... God blessed me so... I made it through the night without too much discomfort. The gas is probably the most uncomfortable thing, but Sue has me walking , sipping and taking in protein to relieve that gas. I'm glad she's here. She's my best friend and she had the gastric surgery and looks like a million bucks! It's nice having someon understand y'know? This morning I'm able to sit up on my own and draft this journal entry before entering it. I'm on some water-laced with crystal light's fruit punch:) ...doing breathing exercises every so often and trying to cough, burp or fart...the farts are easier:) . My hair is still a mess, but mom's going to style it...so much fell out pre-op due to stress... ooh weee there goes my first sneeze... I had to hold myself for that one.:eek: I'm still going to take it easy today, but I'm going to try for more water and protein; Day 3 Post Op March 14, 2007 @ 7:09am VERY SORE!!! :faint: Anestesia has definately wore off and i've been taking tylenol to ease the pain(Really wish doc prescribed Vicodin). I'm holding my stomache alot. Walking is much easier and i"m really trying... I'm sipping on water more today. Congrats to me, I had my first Post Op Bowel movement!:biggrin1: Maybe it's because I slightly feel like poop?:!: Day 4 Post Op March 15, 2007 @ 6:05am I am in so much discomfort :sick and can't at this time tell if it's the gas or the surgery sutures... I broke down today and took a gas strip... I know doctor Endres said no, but I couldn't find any relief(It didn't work anyway) Gonna try to take things easy again...I really think I've pushed things. :faint: Day 5 Post Op March 16, 2007 @ 8:25am Last night was horrible! :angry I couldn't sleep comfortably. Felt like I had a big gas bubble in the middle of my boobs! I'm also tired of all the phone calls from collections-- Got a bit behind-- these people don't care when I said I'm in recovery from surgery Monday...I see my attorney tomorrow...unfortunately I will have to file BK for all the bills that are too much for me to pay:cry Because I sat up half the night, I'm seriously with the bags. Hope to update all this entries in my journal today :biggrin1: Day 6 Post Op March 17, 2007 @5pm Happy St Paddy's Day!!!!!! Still have that gassy feeling in my belly-chest-sucks. Should be gone soon. I really can't wait to eat--- not really hungry, but miss the taste of food. It's a good thing I can start mushy foods Monday. I'm so longing for some pureed eggplant YUM!:hungry: Haven't been able to eat a full cup of jello and weirdest thing of all is I'm watching a lot of the FOOD NETWORK..... I NEVER watch the FOOD NETWORK:omg: Luv and all that, Desi

Hi Everyone, I've absolutely fallen in love with a lot of you and have kept you in my prayers as you go along your journies. My surgery is March 12th and I've never been in the hospital for anything since the day I was born and that was 36 years ago :myscared: Please say a special prayer for my safety and recovery. The Word of God says when two or more agree as touching anything, He is in our midst. I truly need and ask for your prayers. Love You all to pieces!!!!! Desi :amen:

I'm on Clear liquids the first week too and those pineapple sf pops are fantastic!!!:clap2:

My prayers are with you always :girl_hug:

I don't know about that, but I had to do a fleet bowel cleanse two days before my surgery. I go in tomorrow.

My pre op fast was two days only! I was like WOW! Only thing was I had to do a Bowel cleanse with fleet. That was some nast stuff. On Saturday I had to mix 1.5 ouces of fleet seline in 12 ounces of apple juice and drink it down at 8am. You guys, I still don't know how I did it, the taste was absolutely awful and the fleet was the most dominate flavor- I don't even remember tasting the apple juice. I had to follow that by having another glass of apple juice.... It definately got my bowels going thoug.... Then I could have water, jello, and broth for each meal. Today I can still have water, jello, and broth for each meal, but I can also have apple juice or diet 7 up. I can't have anything after midnight either...

Thanks to you all, your prayers and thoughts have meant the world to me! I'll check in after my surgery tomorrow. Huggs, Desi

The last two days haven't been so bad after all. I wasn't very hungry, of course when my sister talked about getting an IslandBurger, I started to shake a bit LOL, but I came through good and stuck to the plan to the letter. Here's the 2 day Clear Diet: Breakfast: Water, Broth, Diet Jell-O (I used sugar free- 10 calories) Lunch: Water, Broth, Diet Jello-O Dinner: Water, Broth, Diet Jello-O I stuck to strait water too.... All though now that I'm looking at this Ahem...:faint: I notice at the bottom it says A day before suregery, continue clear liquids: (this inclueds apple juice and diet 7 up); drink at least 8 8-ounce glasses of water...Eat nothing after midnight... YAAAh cos I sure would like some Apple Juice:heh: I'll be leaving to my parents house in a bit. They're driving me to the surgery center in the morning. Thanks for all your prayers!!!

Well... two more days and I'll be banded I'm very excited, and a little bit of nerves are set in... I had to do a fleet cleanse this morning. That stuff is so nasty...it's 1.5 ounce in 12 ounces of Apple Juice... but know what? I couldn't even taste the apple juice! The fleet was soooooo overwelming....It's working though because I'm going every 15-20 minutes. This weekend is crazy. My Aunt RD passed last Saturday and today's her funeral. As much as I want to spend time with my family, I'm only able to go to the funeral then get back home so I'm close to the john. I also need to get my apartment a little spruced up... my friend Sue is baby sitting me the first three days, she had a gastro bypass two years ago so she sorta knows what I'm going through... I'm nervous about the IV and coming out of the anestesia, but I know God's not done with me yet, and I'll come through the surgery with flying colors I'm looking forward to a week away from the office and possibly catching Gerard Butler's new movie...he is sooooooooo hot! He has a new movie called 300, y'all go see it... I'll catch up with you later this evening. Huggs and Kisses, Desi
