Sorry I have not been around girls---with my drains in, sitting upright was not a good feeling!

They come out yesterday morning, and Pat you are so right, I felt wonderful!!!!

Then come last night. I am on antibiotics for preventative measures, and them combined with my tight compression led to a bout of reflux. Right into my lungs--I woke up in a full blow panic, choking for air, and coughing is to say the very least extremely painful, let alone coughing for hours on end. I spent the night choking, coughing, crying and repeat---------absolute misery!

When I saw the Dr. yesterday he was telling me about a surgery he was doing today in Albq. so he is unavailable------I have been in touch with my PCP-------but nothing is helping much.

My belly button is aching like no other!

I will be back to share some pics and hopefully an improving scenario soon.......for now I am going to go try to get warm, and relax, to avoid coughing.

Hugs--and thanks for the continued good wishes my friends!!

Kat

Kat, I'm so sorry you're having such a rough time, ugh! I haven't had any pains with the new belly button, but believe it or not, I'm still tender, not painfully so, but tender where the Lipo was done.

Hugs girlie.

Diane, sorry I missed the call, I was selling raffle tickets at a fund raiser for the House of Delegates, at his golf tournament. We had lots of fun and wonderful food, lots of seafood, even soft-shell crabs.

Jetti, you're looking so good.

Sherry, I was in a slump with wl for over a year, then dropped quite a bit before the Tummy Tuck. It will happen.

Hugs girlies, going to bed.

Nity nite!

Good Morning Y'all!

It's Friday! Yeah! While it was a short week, it seems like it has been two weeks long for me.

Kat - Sorry you are feeling so bad, hopefully you are better today. Hugs!

Diane - No, I am not used to my laptop yet, but then I haven't had a lot of time to spend on it. Most of it is just me leaving my cursor somewhere and not realizing I am doing something I didn't mean to do. But I love the idea I can carry it outside and work with it. I don't have to stay put in one place.

Pat - You need to post a few more pictures now that it has been a while.

Sherry - Hang in there, sooner or later you will start losing again.

Eileen - Are you in that pool yet?

Mandy - Have you been out riding your bike?

I know I am missing some but my clock says run do not walk to the shower. Work calls and I have to go.

Catch you all later!

Good Morning Y"all!

I'm up an at it early this morning, it's going to be hot and I want to get some things done before the heat sets in.

I was up late, and then didn't sleep good so it's going to be a challenge for sure.

What's everyone doing today?

Jessica you are doing so great with your wl!

Kat - Glad you are doing better!

Well, going to get moving!

      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.
