7-19-05 Tuesday I'M A LOSER!!!!!
Hello everyone, thanks for your prayers and thoughts:
I had my surgery Thursday and today (Tuesday), I almost feel normal.
I have lost 17 lbs so far (193) and 1 size down, I am so excited and am sticking to my program and following the directions to a T. I figured the Doc has done enough of these to know what he is talking about.
So many people I talk too don't follow the directions but for me it's about losing weight so if staying on liquids will help me lose weight and not upset my stomach then that is what I want, I encourage everyone to remember why we are doing this and not to cheat, keep focused on the future and not the food.
It is like an out of body experience for me- you know what happened (surgery) but you just can't believe you went through with it. BUT I DID ! I often wonder if I am getting enough nourishment, my eye sight is bad but they said it would be, do to the patch for nausea. I haven't vomited and I walked around the block tonight(loosened up the gas). I went to the Olive Garden for Lunch and ordered a bowl of soup drained/sifted so I got only broth and it was good. Today I have energy and am doing much more around the house. NO MEDICATION TODAY!! Very little pain.
QUESTION: upper middle of my chest hurts off and on, like something is sliding up and down in there, like I want to belch but can't any thoughts as to what this is? (It doesn't feel like reflux, no burning) Also I had something happen that scared me, I thought my lung collapsed because there was a great pain when I tried to breath, it only lasted 30 seconds but it happened 2x and I thought I was about to die! It hasn't happened today.
I see the Doc Aug 8th and will update then.
REMEMBER FOCUS ON THE FUTURE NOT FOOD!
FYI: United Healthcare, hospital copay=$200+$1000(toward my cap for the year) They wanted payment on the spot/ College Station. Also ask the nurses what they are giving you and how often you are suppose to get it, 1 nurse gave me a shot 6 hrs to soon(blood thinner), the next nurse was going to give it to me again at the right time which would mean I would have had 3 shots in 12 hours, glad I caught it.
