Topic: RE: G Tube?
Haven't had one but just from what you've shared I sure understand why you will be very happy when Monday come and you get rid of it. 
Then it's on to a more comfortable new life! 
Topic: RE: Rescheduled.
Well today they rescheduled my surgery from the 3rd of February to the 21st of January because my doctor will be deploying in the summer and he has to do some training all of next month so he wanted to get me in there. So my date came quicker than expected.
Topic: RE: I'm going home tomorrow!
Hey girl! Glad you are doing well too! My biggest problem is going to be remembering to drink! I think once i get back to Mobile and my own house, I will really feel better.
Are you sipping out of the little medicine cups so that you know how much you are taking? I think I am going to start a count of how many little cupfuls I have each day. Or actually that's silly. I guess I just need to measure how much the glass is that I am pouring out of. You can tell I am loopy off pain meds.
Hopefully once I get the JP drain out, I can be off pain stuff!
Talk to you soon!
Thanks all for the replies!

Topic: RE: I'm new and I'm home
That you all for your thoughts and prayers. Erin, I didn't sleep much in the hospital. With all the poking and checking by the nurses, it's very difficult to get much sleep. I hope you get a good night's sleep tonight when you are home. I realize I am luckier than most people. I have a high pain tolerance. I suggest you take your pain meds right before you go to sleep. Good luck.

Erin,
Have been thinking about you! You should be coming home today.
I feel great today! Wednesday when I came home I was sore and tired. Took pain meds and slept. Yesterday I felt even better! No pain meds(saved it for bed). Just a little muscle soreness and a air/gas bubble that rolls up my chest on occassion. Today is even better. I do get tired when I do too much so remember even if you feel up to doing stuff, remember to rest often in between.
I have been sipping Orange Spice tea, water SF grape koolaid, and propel. The idea of broth is grossing me out for some reason and the SF jello and pops taste too much like artificial sweetner for me. I like my liquids watered down too and room temp. I have some Ocean Spray Cran grape I am going to indulge in later! I have not been hungry either.
So... I hope all is well and post as soon as you can!

24 lbs! Thats great!! Good luck on Monday! I will be having surgery on Monday too!
Topic: Pre op went well!
I wish Monday would get here quicker! We went to Disney last week to make the time go by quicker, but it still seems like monday is so far away! Pre op was yesterday and it was pretty uneventful. I only lost 7 lbs on the liquid diet so that was frustrating. We were walking at least 5 miles a day while at Disney, and I figured since my calorie intake was only 800 calories, I would have a huge loss. Nope!
I hope you are all doing well in your recovery and on your liquid diets! I can't believe Jan is half way over!

Topic: Ready. . When he is!
Good Morning Everyone,
I got a message today.. asking where I have been. Just wanted to let everyone know I am here.
Just finishing some last min things. I may not post, or reply to a post. But always emails. And, just wanted to let everyone know. I am thinking of you all! Sharing in your excitement for a healthy 2009!!!
Monday is my day! I am so excited!!! I can not wait.
I went to the doctor the other day for all my pre op appointments. They really wanted me to lose about 15 pounds before surgery. When they told me that back in November, I was so nervous. I was thinking.. "OMG if I don't lose that weight are they going to cancel" ? ? ? ? But thankfully I do not have to worry about that! The nurse said, "ok, well you did great with your weight loss." And, when the doctor. . he said, 'I can see your really motivated." I asked how much weight I lost and he told me 24lbs!!! I have gone from 308 pre everything. . to 281 and still dropping pre op. . . to HOPEFULLY 160/170.
If this is anything about whats to come.. . . I am READY.. When he is!!!!
Have a great day everyone! ! !
