hi Becca....good to hear from you. I will be having the same procedure so it is good for me to read your blog. Take it slow...ok??:)D

Just remember to breathe! It will be over and done with in no time. Look at Becca, home and on the mend already! =)

I got checked out early Monday morning. I was in a little discomfort Monday and jus****ched TV and rested.

I feel much better today. Aunt Flo was apparently awaken by surgery and decided to come visit early... what a ***** Everything else is good. I have been doing light housekeeping cuz everything was a train wreck when I got home. I did drive today. Not far, just down the street. I drive an automatic with power steering so It's effortless.

I can't seem to get in everything they want from me to. Water 30-60cc every hour, one protein shake per day, and maybe some broth or Popsicles. After about 25cc's I get very bad pains like heart burn and have painful burping episodes. I still measure everything I consume, but if enough time hasn't passed between dosage cups, I hurt. I just can't get it all in. Hopefully soon I will figure out what the right amount of time between doses is.

Food is unappealing and I have to remind myself to drink. The hunger is gone. My taste buds are a little more sensitive. Things that just tasted ok before, make me sick now (ie. certain protein shakes, the lortab, unchilled water.)

I'm still bloated. They say you should fart alot and the extra air in there will come out, but not yet. I'm going to go for a walk tonight maybe that will help.

I go see Dr. Tanaka Friday. I'll post an update.

Thanks for all the luv and support...you all are great friends

I am so bummed for you. I can't imagine the let down. Based on your dates and losing your 10 percent, it seems like you would have been one of the first to get a date, and/or a cancellation date. Hope it all works out for you.

I just told my work I was going on a weeks vacation. I think for a sit down office job, that will be enough time off. Your job is much more physical and a week will not be sufficient.

Keep your chin up!

Im doing great. I actually feel a lot happier in myself with all the changes I've made personally in the last few weeks. I'm ready for surgery and to get the ball rolling.

My classes will be at night as I will still be working full-time with it. I have secured time off of work, and hope to return to work on Sept 6th, but school is a little more tricky. I'm going to see how i'm feeling after surgery. Might have to miss the first week of classes, but I'll play it as it comes.
