    Hi Dixie, how are you doing? How has the adjustment been. My husband is finally at a really good place. I just went to my 6th NUT visit this week. I still don't think I'll be able to schedule it until Sept/Oct. And since I went up during the 6 months, she told me my insurance may make me start my 6 months over from my highest weight. :/ Will have to wait and see.
    I haven't been on here much at all, but thought I would stop by.
  2. Hi Dixie, you are a great inspiration, ty so much!

    Hi Dixie! Just wanted to say hello and say glad to have a friend in Texas. We lived in Ohio before moving to Hawaii but have been to Texas many times. My daughter was an OB nurse in Lubbock TX for a while until she got home sick. The weather in TX was definitely better than Ohio and was on our short list of places to move before we decided to try it here. Hope you are doing well and adjusting to the new life.

    No, my surgery wouldn't be available until late May or June. But due to getting time off from work, the soonest would be October. I'm still waiting on an email from billing to tell me the cost. Glad everything is going well!

    Hi Dixie, just thought I would drop by and see how you were doing? How are your follow up visits going? Do you meet with Dr Pilcher each time? Does he say everything is on track? Questions, questions huh!
  11. Hi Dixie!

    Thanks for commenting on my blog! Just you wait, girl! You will be rocking the skinny jeans before you know it!

    Oh! By the way, we are birthday buddies! I have never met a person born on Dec.18th that I didn't love

    All the Best!

    Wondering how you're doing! Which phase of the post-op diet are you on? I am on Phase II (Full Liquids) and I never dreamed that pureed oatmeal could taste so good! HA! Best of luck on your journey!

    No he had to have a larger hernia repair done at the same time. He has acid reflux really bad and everything he's tried for it does not work.

    Good for you for being around and cooking all that food and sticking to the cream soup! I would have hard a hard time around those tamales too! I'm exited for you on shopping for a new wardrobe!

    My husband is having a tough time and therefore I'm using food as comfort. I'm going to try and get back to planning in the New Year and make my wait time productive.

Day 3 post surgery and feeling great

by Dixie on 12-22-2012 at 06:05 AM
Came home the day after surgery, yesterday. Slept well last night . Woke up 5am time for some water! Got my meds and vitamins ready for the day. No problem taking the pills whole that aren't chewable but those chalky chewables! Yuck! Guess ill have to get use to that. I can't stand the sweetness of most drinks so found Smart Water. It has the electrolytes, but tastes like plain water. All is well here.

My surgery is at 7am tomorrow morning. I'm ready! I watched a surgery on YouTube today, and I'm so glad I did! It was pretty graphic, but now I know EVERYTHING!!

Four days from now I'll be POST surgery

by Dixie on 12-16-2012 at 10:21 AM
Finding this site has been so helpful to me! I'm Dr. Pilcher's first surgery Thursday morning. He told me Friday I should be able to go home depending upon intake and output! I'm ready to be on the other side of surgery, and for that part of the journey to begin. Keep me in your prayers if you pray, and send good thoughts if you don't. Either way, I am ready!
