IMSKINNY 160 Posted August 14, 2012 My surgeon's father was in a car accident in CA. So, my surgery was moved from Thursday, August 16 to Monday, August 20. I was very disappointed this morning, but I'm over it and just ready to get it done! Let's go! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tomorrow I'm going to clean out the old pipes with magnesium citrate. And Sunday I'll do all clear liquids! How are you? How far out are you? Are you pleased with your progress?

IMSKINNY 160 Posted August 25, 2012 I hope your surgeon's dad is OK I will be sure to ask when I go for my follow up. I was so out of it when I saw her after surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IMSKINNY 160 Posted August 25, 2012 How did I miss this?!? How r u doing?!? Updates pleaseeeeeeeee Well, here I am... I came home Tuesday at about 2 and went straight to my bed.. I just couldn't sleep at the hospital. I'm just really tired. I haven't been doing a good job of sipping because it hurts going down. I did get up to take a shower and take some medicine on Wednesday, but the thought of much else wore me out. I wasn't in a lot of pain, but there was some. I've never had children, so this was a lot for me. When I first woke up after surgery, I kept thinking of food and it made me incredibly nauseous. At one point, I had the dry heaves and the only thing that came up was the blue dye from the blue ice chips. I felt better after that. My shoulders were also aching. I read that's from gas or something or another, but there is a connection. I felt great on Thursday, but my parents came the same day and maybe I did too much because I've been tired today. I'm going to take something to sleep and turn in pretty early tonight. I didn't sleep well last night and I think that affected me. This eating thing is still tricky. That pain in my chest has still been there with the slightest bite or sip so I know I have not done well in the nutrition area. I've been living on Popsicles, the broth from Ramen noodles, and Jello. I'm a little head hungry because I would like to just chew something, but it's bearable. My parents ordered pizza last night! Do you believe?! But, the smell made me feel sick. My Dad had a Big Mac and I thought, 'How can you eat that?' I did try on a few clothes that i hadn't worn in a while and they fit, so that gave me hope. I wish i could take back some really great clothes that I've given away. My 'go to black pants that we all wear at least once a week to the office' are now a little saggy. Woohoo! Saturday I'm going to pick up the pace. I'm going to go walking in the AM and fill my Water bottle for the day and sip, sip, sip... I can't let this beat me! I have got to get with it! Enough about me, are you ready? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
