Tomorrow is my big day. I've lost 9 lbs on the pre-op liquid diet and today I'm doing the Clear Liquids. I would be lying to say I'm not nervous but am so looking forward to the benefits I'll gain.

December 1st.. I've been sleeved...

The surgery part not so bad... the team just ran a little behind. While waiting all the different care teams came in to introduce themselves and explained thier roles. My surgeon came in last. Asked me if I have any questions and introduced his Resident. I was given an anti nausea patch and pull then sent to the Surgery Theater.

In recovery I have no recollection. However in my room the pain immediately hit me. I have been dealing with pain management all day. It would subside then start back up. It's only the side where the stomach was removed. Aside from pain, the other issue is my bladder. It's been full the entire time... every time I go tinkle... they take an ultrasound to determine how full it is.... hoping for no catheter... especially since I am "girling" right now.

The walking... I haven't managed to do much because of the pain and being slightly dizzy. But when the pain has intermittently subsides... i am up and at em.

I have 6 incisions. All the staff has remarked that I look extremely well for just undergoing serious abdominal surgery. .. guess that's my 1st NSV!!!

TIRED & Optimistic. Much success to the rest of you.

Started the full liquid diet today. I've been working on trying to change the way I think of food. Golly this is going to be an interesting journey.

Hi, don't see my date on the calendar. I'm December 28. Thanks

Well it's day 4. The pain is starting to subside but this is the first day that I struggled with getting my liquid and Protein intake in. I don't trust my scale it says I am down 8 lbs already. Each day is a new challenges just keep pushing through. I know I can't lift more than 10 lbs but I am eager to start on these arns... that's going to be my key target area to put on muscle so my skin won't sag miserably.
