  2. Hey ladies! Well happy surgiversary for some of us! 60 lbs gone for me! I just put up a before and after picture!
  3. Which one was Alusca? I have been following all the rules, and am right on track with eating and not drinking carbonated beverages or too much physical activity yet, so I don't worry about a leak, if you are worried, go get an xray. let me know how you're feeling in a few days and if you go or not/

    Hey, I just heard from one of the girls in our surgery group Alusca. She is back in the hospital with a leak. I'm starting to freak out, because I've been really sick and what if I have a leak?

    HI KWKIKI. Thank you for your information. It is very helpful. Now I know what to expect and that makes me feel so much better. When I heard they use Toradol for pain I almost backed out. I have had this medication a couple of times for migraines. It took the edge off but didn't get rid of the headache. I am bringing Vicodan with me so I hope the Toradol holds me until I can take it. Thanks again, I will keep you in my prayers for continued success on your journey!!

    Oh, and I have a hard time recognizing people in person, just a weird brain thing, so if you do see me, say hi and tell me who you are! :-)

    Hi! I have been doing a low carb, low fat, high protein pre-op diet that I had originally gotten from a doctor here. Then I will do clear liquids only for three days. So far it's going well. My birthday was March 2, so I admit to having a little treat on that day, but otherwise, I've done so well that I've lost 6 pounds already. :-) I am feeling really good about it, but I'll tell you the things that are making me most nervous--taking my own stitches out (yikes!), the flight home, and I don't want to take the Cipro. I couldn't talk my doctor here into giving me a script for a different antibiotic. :-( It's getting so close! We may even see each other. :-) I'm Tracy, by the way.

    Thanks so much. I am very proud of meeting my goal of being healthy. Very blessed.

The Day when "The Scale" is your friend now!

by KWKIKI on 04-19-2014 at 08:29 AM
I just had a great moment! I stepped on the scale and actually did a little jump and arm raise!! Down 31 lbs now- I LOVE MY SCALE! lol. I have 3 times this to go yet, but 31 pounds are GONE and I am not scared to get on that evil thing anymore. It's lost it's fangs. It lost it's claws. We are walking this path together and it's my pal!

I had to buy a fdew things

by KWKIKI on 04-11-2014 at 12:00 PM
I don;t want to buy clothes, but the 26 pound weight loss makes my clothes look ridiculous! I had to pick up a few things for the interrum. After the next 10 lbs gone I will grab a couple things maybe from salvation Army as I can't spend $80.00 every 2 weeks. It was nice to wear something that fit and I felt slimmer, but I have such a LONG way to go. Not a lot of options here ion this little Island for inexpensive cloths, so happy there is Ross!

Recluse

by KWKIKI on 04-02-2014 at 08:34 AM
I feel llke I am going through a lot more than just a physical change. my emotions are running the gammit daily. From happy, to angry, to just mellow- I seem to be quieter. Now, that may be normal for some, but I can assure you, not me! I haven't even charged my phone for 2 days. I don;pt want to interact with anyone and I don't think I'm depressed, just feeling reclusive is how I want to be right now. Work, then home. It sure looks like depression. I really just am not myself, anyone else have

in addition...for Amanza patients mostly

by KWKIKI on 03-18-2014 at 11:07 AM
Ok...heres some more. The "lab" they take you to is ike something out of a 70's porn. LOL.no really. The "Dr." there asks you the same questions about 5 times. It is sketchy at best, but it's over and done with quickly. Sleep whenever you can. I mean this. Because they will get you up at 4 a.m. if it suits their schedule. The drivers are good guys. The nurses in the hospital are fine. If you know you are due for pain or nausea meds and it's a 1/2 hour past time, CALL the nurses

finally home- 4 days post op

by KWKIKI on 03-16-2014 at 10:34 PM
I am now closing my 4th day post op.The travel from Tijuana home was nightmarish. I am so happy to be here. I have had some real pain when putting nything down, like something is stuck, bit it seems to be a little bettr in the evenings. It also seems better with warmer liquids. However, I hate everything I go to eat! All chicken broth tates like a mountain of salt. Sugar free jello tastes like mountain of sugar. I had no hunger at all until today. I'm not sure if it was real hunger, or that I am
