Sugery was on 3/10/09 and I'm feeling okay. Sore and tired, and major tightness in the shoulder and chest. I got to start my pour-off-a-spoon, stage tonight, and I got 1oz of very thin mashed potatos.. and 1oz, of blended and thinned peaches.. It tasted very good, and I've been feeling tight and sore every since, but nothing more then that. I blended up peaches and mandarin oranges, green beans and made up some mashed potatos to thin out.. Going to get some pudding and whatnot tomorrow.. Looking forward to things with more taste!

My Laparoscopic RNY was on Monday March 2, so I'm 10 days out and feeling 20 years younger! My program starts Stage 3 foods before discharge from the hospital. I had scrambled eggs for breakfast, tuna salad and fruit ****tail for lunch the day I went home (Wed., Mar 4). No one was more surprised than I was that I could actually eat it!
Since then there's been a little trouble with milk (gas) but I'm going to get some Lactase to take before eating yogurt or drinking milk. Getting all my protein and fluids in was a challenge at first but I'm getting into more of a schedule now.

My date is almost here! I'm feeling kinda wierd. Like it's not really going to happen or there will be a problem. Or I'll hate not being able to enjoy food ever again. Just Stinkin' Thinkin'. I'm anxious, nervous, thrilled, excited, scared...you name it. Any more March 16th-ers out there? If so, please contact me!

IT'S A GO!!! Believe it or not he just finished his last pre-op test about an hour ago. He has to be there at 6am. He is really psyched. Thanks for checking on him. I'll try to post an update tomorrrow after surgery.
