One week postop, and I am doing really well I think. The incisions are still healing, and a couple of those have recently gotten a little itchy. Watching those, and if the redness spreads more then I will be going to see the doctor later this week. Also, the last couple days have brought some acid reflux (I think) in the afternoon. It shows up about 2pm and stays until I wake up in the morning with it gone. Taking Tums right now. Anyone recommend something else? I had reflux very rarely pre-surgery....and

Ok, it's here. The night before surgery. The three full days of nothing but broth, crystal light, popsicles and jell-o...that was totally fine until the last day. I craved pasta & cheese LIKE NOBODY'S BUSINESS!!! But I did not cheat. Not once. I think I held myself so strictly to all the "rules" during all of this, because I want to somehow guarantee that surgery will go perfectly. I will wake up after anesthesia. I will not have complications. I will heal quickly an be on my way to

One more week, and I'll be among the sleeved of this world! Surgery is Monday (7/30/12). I have transitioned from scared to death to excited and anxious for the surgery to be over. Getting some "last meals" in...researching high protein food lists...and just looking forward to the healthier me that's been trying to get out for a decade.
I don't think I'll post anything until after surgery, because this week is really crazy as it is. Thanks to everyone who's given me inspiration

Yes, it's been a while. I had to drag myself away from the forum so I could sleep without compiling lists of questions to look up next time I logged in. (you know what I am talking about, don't pretend you don't!) So I am sorry for not updating this blog, but here's what's been shaking over the past few weeks plus...
I have been in a time warp! Classes started, and are almost over! Made lots of changes to eating, drinking and thinking. I've been going to doctor's appointments and

Freaked out here. Seems like ever since I made the drastic decision to use gastric sleeve surgery to start the journey of a healthier life, my sleeping has gotten pretty bad. At first, I would lie down and think of hundreds of questions. I'd grab my phone in the dark and Google "peanut butter and gastric sleeve" or "yoga and gastric sleeve" and yes, "sex after gastric sleeve" (ehem, how do you think I found gastricsleeve.com?). Once I fall asleep, the nightmares begin.
