Hello Everyone!

This morning when walking I decided to try to go a little further.  My past walks lasted about 30 min each.  Today, I walked for a whole hour!  I surprised myself that I could do this.  I did bring a bottle of water, that helped.  Next time I will bring my IPOD, I did not think I was going to be gone this long!  I set out for a  few laps around the block, but neded up on the trail behind our house.  WOW was it busy!

Well, I guess that is all for now.

Wow ... it did not know that I would be in so much pain.  The pain is so bad that it is even difficult to move.  I am eating and drinking well.  Vitmains and Levenox ok.  Pain, terrible.  I spent an extra day in the hospital to help find a drug that worked besides morphine.  I am taking it now, but it barely covers the pain.  I hear and read about many who are up and walking without trouble, not me.  I was able to walk some in the hospital.  Getting up and down is somewhat easier today than yesterday.  it aloso helps if I hold a blanket or pillow over my incisions.  I Cannot sleep in my own bed, it is too high to comfortably get on and off.  Last night it took 5-10 minutes to do each.  Tonight it is the couch!

I will continue to post progress.

Thanks!

Today, I visit the Dietitian for the second time and Physical Therapist.  I guess today I find out what my pre-op diet will be,  I have ready online many different pre-op diets.  It seems that each Doctor has their own pre-op requirements.  In anticipation of what most has descried and what I have read, I have began to purchase some food items, like broth, FF Jello, etc.

I will post later how it went.

Hello everyone!

This is the fist time I have posted, posted on any site for that matter.  I am scheduled for surgery RNY August 4th.  My family and I are trying to squeeze a vacationin before this, as we won't have another chance until next summer.  I am very excited about the changes that will be happening soon to me and the positive effect it will have on my self being!!!!

I am not sure what else to say.

Thanks~
