I could literally walk straight right now if I wanted to. I'm not though because I don't want to put any tension on my scar and have a ugly one. I never got to use my fancy walker..sad but I'm donating it to the clinic for one of my patients so not a loss. I just don't need it. I have an appointment at11 with her so I'm excited about her taking off the bandages so I can get a full look. My belly button looks so cute from what I can see. That poor baby has been hidden in fat for YEARS. Cute little innie! I can't see the whole picture of everything yet because me has me all taped and gauzed up under there but I'm hoping to snap a picture today in the office.

@@bayougirlmrsc Girl that's because every waking moment I wasn't at work or sleeping I was researching everything I could. Good for somethings but bad for stress. 98% of what I read was how horrible and painful it was. How they would "rather have died" than be In that much pain ect.... So I as freaking out. I had to pay in advance thank god because if not I'm pretty sure I would have backed out. They made it sound like it was the worst pain imaginable. One lady write worse than child birth ect.. It may have been really bad for them but I'm flying right through it as of now. It's crazy how each persons experience can be so different to that extreme. I really think it's this dilaudid though. It's a very strong narcotic. I feel normal on it. I still function just fine but with no pain. I would be afraid to go without it but after tomorrow I'm going to try to switch to over the counter pain relief

My boobs haven't hurt at all really, sometimes I feel a small ache but nothing to speak of.

Re the text message thing

I'm no longer allowing texts from @@Elode (or anyone for that matter).

People were under the impression that I was some piece of meat, here simply for their gratification and pleasure...

So I put a stop to the messages...

For I am no such thing...

I'm a person...

A person with thoughts...

A person with feelings...

With hopes and dreams...

I'm a person wi..

Ok ok...

I'm fooling nobody...

I AM a piece of meat...

I AM simply here for the gratification and pleasure of others...

I am Jason...

And I know my place...

Thank you

YAY ELODE!! So glad things are going well for you! I have my scheduling appointment on Monday and I have been thinking of pushing it because I have heard that it hurts so bad after surgery.

After hearing your experience I am going to go to that appointment and nail it! LOL

!!!! WARNING GRAPHIC PICTURE!!!!

Now that I have that out of the way, I went to my surgeons today and we took the bandages off. Here's my very first glimpse of my new belly! Amazingly enough she didn't have to repair my muscles, she said they were shocked that they were fine. That's why my pain hasn't been so bad!

And as promised here is a before and after. One day difference. It's amazing!!! I can't wait for my 6 months when all the swelling is gone and I'm healed.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
