In the hospital again!



Recommended Posts

Ty all so much for ur kind words. Last night they moved me to ICU for closer observation. At 7 am, they came in and did a bronchoscopy and flushed my lungs with a saline and sucked it all back out to check for cells and whatever bacteria is making me so sick. (Yeah never doing that again!) that was pure torture! They gave me versaid, and fentinol an I was still too coherent. I was gagging and trying to cough the instrument out. Total nightmare!

On the upside I might get to be moved to a regular floor soon. Praying for that! It won't be as noisey as the ICU and I might get to rest! Ugh! Sorry to rant and rave, just another stumble on my journey to a better me... Ya know!?

Thank you all for your words of encouragement!! You guys have been amazing to me and I can't tell you what that means to me.

Looks like I might get to go home tomorrow! Or at least I'm hoping ... Lol .... I'm doing much better and finally holding my own without oxygen at 96%. When I got here I was on 4 liters of oxygen and still at 86%. They have given me tons of steroids, antibiotics, and fluids. I am feeling a lot better now.

Ty all again for ur prayers and well wishes!

I tried to get released today, but that just wasn't happening! Still waiting to hear from my dr. Ugh! Can't wait to see my kiddos. :( It's hard being the momma and not being able to see the lil ones. But at least there's a light at the end of my tunnel.

Hope you get released tomorrow. I know hospitals aren't a place to rest which is most likely what you need to heal. Feel better.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
