I am now on the loser's bench

May 11, 2007

Well, today I am three days post-op.  Dr Lynch did a great job!  I have been blessed and lucky; very little pain, mostly soreness.  Only one small bout of nausea.  Including the two week liquid diet, I have lost a total of 16 pounds.  I am on my way!

Well, this is the beginning of my fourth day on the liquid diet and I thought I was going to die last night.  I work the night shift and when I woke up it felt like I was trying to lift a 50lb weight off the pillow. My head was killing me and I can't take my beloved Excedrin migraine!! boohoo  It must be the dreaded withdrawal from sugar/carbs.  The hunger isn't quite as bad, but I'm not too optimistic about that continuing for another week!! haha  For the protien shakes, I've been using Atkins Advantage & SlimFast low carb. I tried the Myoplex something or other (the one with the most protein) and I nearly barfed!  Gross!!! Sipping on my crystal light and had to cut out coffee, as I use too much sugar & creamer. That really hurts when you work the night shift! As you can see, I still have not put a picture on here.  I'm working on it; my computer is a piece of crap and I've got to figure out how to do it.  After I get off work this morning, I'm going for my pre-op stuff.  I'm beginning to feel nervous.  Everyone's excited for me and keeps asking me questions.  I hope their excitement and encouragement will continue.  Even though nervous, I'm looking forward to being a big "LOSER"!!
