OMG, when they pulled my drain tubes out, she told me to take a deep breath and then she'd pull when I let out my breath, OOOOOOOOOOOUCH, that tube must have been a foot long, both of them. I can't believe you pulled your own stuff out, you're so brave.

OK, what's up with the blood work? Any clue what that means to you? Details please. Hugs for missing your date, just hope everything else is A-OK.

Eugenia: Glad everything went well! YEAH! The pain medication works that well huh? That's great. I've heard some people say that the brachioplasty is very painful and others say it's not too bad. Glad you're doing well. Looking forward to your pictures.

Neal: glad your posting again.

MommiHammi- You'll be in my prayers. Easy to remember because that's my 2 week pre-op appointment day. Can't believe in you squeeked in there before me.

LJM: okay, I'm starting to get nervous again, questioning myself, right and left. Can't believe I'm becoming such a big chicken!

LJM, I'm so sorry. I know you're disappointed, but as shown with my experience, sometimes things were just meant to happen. Right now I'm just miserable with a horrid head cold and raging runs. I can't even begin to imagine if I was recovering from major plastic surgery. One thing I want to caution you about, though. I was really motivated with my eating and exercise when I was preparing for plastic surgery. Once that was no longer in the forefront, I started getting sloppy, and I've put on a few pounds because of it. Please don't let this situation de-motivate you. You are doing an awesome job, please stick with it, and know that the difficulty you're going through is just a delay.

(Edit: LJM, I posted this earlier, before I read your blog, and didn't know at that time what happened, and I'm embarrassed to compare your situation to mine. I am so sorry for your loss. Hang in there, darlin'.)

Hugs, and best wishes,

Tami

LJM: Read your blog. I don't blame you for not wanting to retype it all. Wow! You have some big decisions ahead of you. I'm wondering if getting rid of the pannus would actually be helpful to your overall health and ability to carry a child? I think it might. But waiting another 6 months for healing etc. that's hard. Patience is the hardest virtue. Do you have other children? I feel for your quandry. I respect you and wish you the best. Chin up. Hugs!

      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.
