SOOOO many things have changed since the last time I have blogged ! I decided to start blogging about my weight loss surgery since It will finally be happening Monday the 28th !! YIIPPPEEE!
My pre-op diet started on the 14rth and has definitely been a struggle so far. I have splurged a little and have gone off track here and there but have lost a total of 14 lbs. That is 14lbsm in 10 days :) WOOT !! I am on the path to a new healthier and skinnier me :)
I found out later today when I will have to report to my surgery monday. I should only stay there 2 total days if everything goes as planned. The first day of course I will have the surgery and then once i wake up go to the recovery room and then finally to my regular room. I will have a pain pump and should be able to get up and walk around that evening. They said the more I walk the better off I will be. The second day will be more walking, walking, walking and they will eventually do an upper gi series to make sure no leaks or problems and then I will gradually be able to have water taken through a small medicine cup. They said that a small medium swallow of water will make me full. After that they will monitor my blood levels, and stats and around 6pm I will be allowed to go home.
The first week I will be pretty much on all liquids and need to make sure i walk 15 minutes per hr I am awake. That sounds like a lot but I gotta do it ! BTW I need to go shopping for some new sneakers :) I also have to take lovenox shots the first week after the surgery FUN !
The kiddos:
They are going to be 18 months !! AGGGGH I can't believe it :) They are such a joy and make me smile and laugh everyday. Carter is a little stinker he loves to run and is definitely my active child. Chloe is very calm and loves to have attention, she loves to look at books and is talking a lot. Everyday it seems like they say more and more words. I will soon start the fun adventure of POTTY TRAINING ...dun dun dunn......LOL I am really dreading this but i gotta do it. Diapers are CRAZY expensive and I think they are ready, at least Chloe is.
Ok so that is my ramble for now. I will continue to update on my weight loss journey :) Stay Tuned !!

I hope everything goes great for you! I can only imagine how much better you will feel after it is all over. The diet can be hard, and long, I don't know if you'll ever be able to eat and drink at the same time again, but especially with the other medical problems it should make a huge difference. Everything is influenced in some way or another by it. My dad's diabetes and back problems went away after the surgery, so it was at the least a 3 for 1 deal.
ReplyDeleteHunter is awake from his nap, time to go get him, then maybe a walk.
yay for all the great blessings in your life girl :)
ReplyDeleteGood Luck with the Potty training - my girls freaked over the toilet (because of the sound)and didn't potty train successfully until they were 4!
ReplyDeleteexciting! how much time is cyle getting off? im so excited to see you go through ur "transformation"!!! i dont know why i put it in quotes, it just made it sound like you were getting a sex change or something without them lol
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear all the peices are falling in to place. Maybe its all like having kids once they pop out all the pain and hard time is well worth it. The diet, walking, water drinking well seem like nothing once everything is done. Good luck love cant wait to read more!
