Shut Off the Food Chanel :(

My surgery is in 12 hours.

I have done amazing with my pre-op eating plan and I have not felt hungry or had cravings etc. I have dropped 38 lbs (maybe 39 by tomo morning LOL). My BMI is still up there but I am 199 lbs right now.

But today, I had the day free and alllll I did was research recipes!!! And I trolled around here to see what others were eating. I found that someone here was eating pureed chili and it sounds soooo good.

And then there was nothing on TV so I ended up on some burger show. OMG I had to turn it off!!!

I didn't think I was hungry, but I am on Pinterest and EVERYTHING looks so wonderful!!

I cannot wait to be in my 2nd week post-op so I can eat some of these yummy things I am seeing.

And I was in food-heaven on Pinterest today!!! I've never been a huge fan of cooking (like it's not a hobby at all) but I cannot wait to start cooking!!!

.....12 more hours!!!

Thanks! I made it

So my experience has been great! Then again, my surgery was only 13 hrs ago

As I've mentioned in other posts, I have dreadful anesthesia issues. This time wasn't horrible but not perfect. I was nauseous the entire time after surgery & was given a lot of meds. The scratch down my throat is 10x worse than my surgery lol

I actually began sipping Water pretty quickly just to ease my throat.

Then there was the awful pain on my shoulders. Felt like a horse kicked me.

So I was peeing & I noticed blood on my gown. Took me 2 hrs to figure it out; I had some drainage from an incision. Thing is, I have NO pain from surgery & forgot I had incisions!!!

No problems really. I HATE the nebulizer in my nose though.

Congrats on your surgery! I am a classically trained chef, so I know exactly what you are talking about when it comes to food. Food is my passion, so it will be interesting to transform the way I cook from OMG that is fatty, and greasy, and delicious, to OMG that is delicious and GOOD for me.
