Fall 2011 Super Secret Clubhouse!
RNY 10/3
Hello all!
I had surgery on 10/3/11 and wish I would have found the group before tonight. It would have been great to suffer the pre op diet with others to cheer me on. It got so I was so preoccupied with what I was eating , drinking, thinking , and preparing for I was definitely very obsessed. I guess I had to be to stay on track. I just don't want my life to become about the weight loss and not about living. I have so many ideas and dreams about how this surgery will change my life. I'm super exited to share this journey with all of you who walk the same path.
Update: the basic facts here. Not for the squeamish!!! jK. Today is day 7 and feeling tired and sore. I had post op trouble with low blood pressure, low oxygen saturation, chest pains, urinary tract infection, and stupid anxiety. Every night I had anxiety, maybe symptom of o2 Sats or pain but first couple of nights in hospital were rocky but survivable. Kind of like childbirth, you forget as time goes by. I am RN at hospital I had surgery so I had LOTS of visitors. Actually great support and had my back all week. To sum it all up , I was scared while in hospital and feel much better at home. Pain and purée diet tolerable. That nasty head hunger is rearing it's head and already craving pizza almost embarrassed to say that, but like I said, just the facts here. I will not judge myself anymore. That's how I got here to begin with.
I look forward to learning along with all of you. I am super excited for the upcoming months. I have a coworker who had VSG in July and it is awesome to watch where she is going, and anticipating reaching the same milestones

glad you came by! it does help to have someone to commiserate with!! lol
glad you are doing better! please dont say childbirth, that was the wosrt experience of my life and i havent forgotten....lol liquid diet is very interesting, head hunger, shes a beyatch. i think the preop diet is helping me to address head hunger somewhat before surgery, i am learning alot about myself that i dont think i would have otherwise. what types of things are you eating? how is your pain level now?
