Hey, this is Danny, Allie's husband. She made it through surgery today and we are at the hotel now. She is doing great, but in pain, taking lots of pics. She will post when she is up to it. Can hardly wait to unwrap her.

Thanks for the update, Danny. Think of you, Allie, and these next few weeks as you recover. It will all be worth it in the end. You were a beautiful woman the way you were...but...a little more icing on the cake can only make it better. Take care and you are in my prayers for a speedy, painless (ya, right) recovery.

hi everyone.. well, today is the first day I have been able to be conscious. I ended up getting a terrible uti which made everything else 100 times worse. Not being able to pee really just about killed me. I am doing much better and can actually get out of bed by myself, getting back in is another story. I am walking around and love what my body is looking like.. the bruises are pretty bad but I can see a great result. I will take pics when hubby gives me shower tonight. Here is a pic of me day of surgery, I was really swollen in this pic, I have lost 11 pounds since day of surgery. Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers! I also did get quite a bit taken out the night before surgery. I was puking up Water my lapband doc said my nerves were closing it. He took out 1cc and I actually had 1/2 of a grilled cheese, I haven't had a grilled cheese in 18 months lol..

xoxo

Allie,

Sorry to hear about the UTI. Glad it's getting better. Keep healing and resting. Your surgery pic you are so tiny. You've been in my prayers. Can't wait to see more pics.

I'm still pretty swollen but flat. Not sure what i'll have to wear to work next week if swelling doesn't go down more this week.

Hi Allie:

You've been through a rough time so far. I hope you continue to feel better. Remember, rest and relax helps with the swelling. Another thing, be careful about losing too much while you're recuperating. You need good nutrition to help with the healing.

Your pic is fabulous. Can't wait to see updates.

Take care.

Sue

      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.
