Hi Debbie,
Sorry you had complications but hope you are ok now. Being up and moving in the best thing you can do for yourself. I can't believe you are eating creamed soup already? I"m just sticking to the protein drinks and liquids either water, decaf tea with splenda or flavored water, no interest in other things right now.
My poor hubby has been fending for himself so I am actaully going to cook for him tonight. He is worried about me cooking him real food and I told him it would be fine I"m not tempted.
Each day seems better than the last so I hope you continue to progress as well.
Have my follow up for the 8th of Sept. won't be long! Then I get to progress to soft food! That will be interesting, real food again?
Have a great day and enjoy your soup!

Hi Laura,
I'm glad you are feeling good. Keep up the great job!
I had complications, pneumonia, low potassium and not producing enough urine. I'm finally home as of yesterday. Glad to be sleeping on my own sofa. When the sun comes up, I'm planning on doing some walking. Still sore, but I guess that's to be expected.
Feel better and let's keep in touch. I had my first Cream of Asparagus soup - HEAVEN! LOL

I'm with you on that one... I'm having surgery the same day and I just can't seem to say calm at work!!! I've also done a two week liquid diet and have lost 23lbs. I wish you all the best!!

I can not believe that the day is almost here. Wednesday is only one day away. I have been on my pre-op liquid diet for two weeks. I have lost 18 pounds already. I am so nervous, happy, scared, and worried. I'm not just worried about the surgery but also leaving my two kids for a couple days. My son is seven and my daughter is two. I will miss them both.
Trying to sit at work today and half a day tomorrow but I can not seem to concentrate on anything right now. Any ideas on how to calm myself done and not be so nervous about the whole thing.

Congrats on your new "birthday" and now that we are "sisters" in a way, we need to be friends too. I weighed my self today at the wellness center where I work out and I seem to have lost 2-3 pounds, not much but it's better than nothing for me so I am very happy with less than a week post-op. Have my first visit with the surgeon scheduled for September 8th and that is when my diet will advance but so far the liquids are not bad, how about you? What type of thing are you drinking?
My bed was the best thing since "sliced bread" literally, I hurt so badly from the hospital bed and the first night home I slept like a baby. Lets keep in touch, I would like to know how you are doing, we can support each other!

Hey Don't worry, you'll do fine! The surgery is really easy for you to get through. Getting back to eating has been my only challenge and I'm doing fine! I had my operation VSG last Tuesday and have had so little discomfort, you wouldn't think I had even had a surgery! be prepared to feel a little more tired due to the effects of the anesthetics, but other than that, It's just part of the process of starting your new life! Go forward knowing you will never regret taking charge of your life and being the person you want to be!!
I look forward to hearing how you went soon!

Fear not. Fear is of the enemy, who only comes to kill, steal, and destroy. The enemy wants you to fear, but have positive thoughts do not let negativity enter in, and l will pray that God will send His Holy Angels to encamp about you during your operation and keep all manner of evil away. My RNY surgery is on Friday. I pray the very best is coming your way.

Good for you, and best of luck. And yes we serve an Awesome God. My RNY is Friday.
