Topic: RE: May 31st surgery for me
I'm having my VSG on the 31st! My check in time is 630am, and the hospital is an hour away, so that morning should be... fun. Good luck to everyone! And I also really like the memorial day connection. :)
Topic: RE: May 19th Minneapolis
I had my surgery on May 19th too! Very emotional day for me as my Dad passed away in November, and that is his birthday! I ended up staying in the hospital an extra night due to not being able to pee :( I am doing pretty well now. Never took any pain meds in the hospital or now, just Tylenol...but I haven't even taken that for 3 days now. After being on this liquid diet I CANNOT WAIT to eat some chicken!! Good luck to you!
Topic: VSG May 18th 2011
I had my surgery last week and things are going well.
I live in Canada and have gone through the weight wise program.
I started in the program back in Jan 2010. weighing in at 329.6.
The day before surgery *may 17th 2011* i was 287.7
As of yesterday i am 278.9
i have a great support group here in Edmonton and i found myself very prepared. I was expecting it to be alot harder than it actually was. my biggest issue in the hospital was i had a reaction to the liquid codine they were giving me.
today is exactly one week since surgery and i have not let it slow me down. I am doing grocery shopping and walking and window shopping and going to soccer games and working bingos , going to friends houses, walking with kids to park, helping at the kids school.
the only exception is.. i do need my 2 or 3 hour nap every day.
what im having a hard time with ... is the eating and drinking. I am in no way getting the amount of water i need or food. im up around 745-8... i have a 3 hour nap in the day... and im in bed by 10. how do i fit in 2000 of water and 60 g of protein?? and im not allowed shakes...
