Surgery day!!

Today is the big day! Surgery. I weighed in at 223.6. So I am going to say that is my starting weight!! I'm nervous and a tad scared. The pre-op diet was ok. The first 4 days were rough, but after I got though those it was a breeze! Say a prayer, cuz here I go.

Day 1 of Liquid Diet

Today is July 12, 2017. Today I start my liquid diet for my sleeve surgery. The date for my surgery is July 24th at 9:30 AM. Yesterday I got the news that I am approved for surgery and received my date for surgery. I  cannot begin to tell you how excited I am for this new journey. Some of you might think that I am taking the easy way out. Well, let me tell you one thing, if you think for one second that this is the easy way out, you are sorely mistaken. For roughly two weeks, the only things that I get to "eat" is in liquid form. That means, no sushi, no seafood, no tacos, no hamburgers, no cake etc. Then again, some of you might think that this is going to be too hard for me to do. I can guarantee, that the hard thing that I have to deal with on a daily basis is the pain that is in my back every day. My knees that scream at me when I walk down the stairs, my ankles that give out for no reason at all, causing sprained ankles every month, the constant heachaches that I g...

Day 7 & 8 liquid diet

The days just keep getting easier. Much more energy, not many problems waking up in the morning. The only issues that I have are the super loose stools that come along with an all liquid diet, and missing actual food. Don't get me wrong, detoxing is and was probably needed because with out it I couldn't have the surgery. But I can't wait until I can eat normal food again.  Today I went and had my pre-op labs done and got more information on what I can and can't have after surgery. Monday is my surgery date and I'll come home on Tuesday. Then begins the real work. Exercising, getting in all my liquids, making sure I'm getting all the protein in.  I can't thank my support system enough. It's been hard, but I know in the long run it will be worth it!!

Day 2 of liquid diet

Most of you know that with out my coffee in the morning I'm not too pleasant. Well, let me tell ya, try detoxing from all caffeine and Advil, excedrine and pretty much all yummy foods. The headache also is terrible. Tylenol is laughing at me because it just doesn't work. I tried essential oils for my headache. It got rid of it only because I got it in my eyes and was panicking about my eyes. On top of all this I have a major ear infection. So bad the dr said that mine was the worst ear she had ever seen. My kids are being super patient with me as is Jay. He is my rock especially when all I want to do is cry cuz I was a cup of coffee. I tried to help mow the yard yesterday. I had no energy at all and almost fainted. I survived day 2 with no coffee and no food. All I want to do is sleep.
