Oh, my....

I know it's been days since the last post. Let me catch you up.... I had surgery Friday the 17th in Tyler. Allen and I went over early and did a little shopping since the surgery wasn't until 2:30 pm. If I am not mistaken, I think it started around 4ish. Wasn't bad at all. Not that I remember. They sent us home that same night so we got home around 8:30ish. But today is Tuesday the 21st and I am just not starting to feel better. I think in the last 3 days I've only had 12 hours of sleep. The gas pains were horrible. They made my back and shoulders hurt as if I had been moving heavy boxes for a week. I tried everything to alleviate the discomfort. Pain pills, Gas X, walking...... you name it, I tried it. Most of it has subsided now although I get a few sharp stabs of it periodically through the day. I haven't been able to eat much. Apple sauce, pudding, jello, apple juice, protein shakes, and water. I am toooo afraid of eating too much and getting sick. Hopefully this will all pan out and I will be fine by the weekend. I am ready to exercise, eat right, and drop this excess weight!

Nerves....

I think that I am finally getting nervous about this whole thing. This morning I had myself so psyched up and so nauseated! I don't want to be a failure at this thing and that being said, I will give it 150%! I am very determined to lose this excess "body" and start living a healthy lifestyle..... Bring on the running shoes....

Pre Op Appointments

I went today for both pre op appointments. Had to go to TMF to do the hospital portion and then Dr. Babineau's office. They gave me all the specifics about what to do from now until the surgery and what to do after the surgery. I am looking forward to October 17 but nervous at the same time. I have to do an all liquid clear diet the day before surgery and can't have anything after midnight on the 16th. I don't think surgery day can get here quick enough!!
