Sure enough, just as the NUT said, I will see the same numbers on the scales around week 3 and I did.  This morning, it finally changed.  I have been lucky (I think lucky may fit), not to have any vomiting.  I'm probably eating more advanced food than I should.  Not sure if I'm testing the waters to become sick or what.  I didn't really eat pureed food.  I eat thinly sliced turkey and either Baby Bell or Laughing cow wedges and some crackers.  I'd had a craving for sweet potatoes and it took me 3 meals to eat it.  I've already had shrimp and a grilled chicken sandwich from Chick-fillet.  No bread of course.  I'm still hungry during the day and had hoped that would not appear at all. 

I should be following the eating instrux to the T, but not sure why I'm not.  Still having cravings but not eating them....pizza and seeing commercials is driving me crazy.  There are food commercials more times than I realized.

It's another day, time to keep at the right way.

I am finally getting my stamina back and am able to stand for more than 10 seconds without needing to sit down.  The draining tube comes out on Thursday morning.  Emptying it out and seeing what comes out is pretty gross.  I still can't sleep on my left side.  The incision is sore and that's where the Dr said he did most of the work. 

The surgery seemed to go just fine.  No issues or problems at all. 

fyi:  I seem to be very thirsty and am afraid to take too big of drinks at a time and try not to....but I really want to.
I have a hard time with the cravings still and realized how much I love food.  I have really bad breath now. I  feel better every day, have trouble getting to sleep (never before), and my body doesn't want to let me nap during the day. But feeling like myself and starting to be able to do household chores again (in moderation)

Anxious, nervous, worried it won't work, hating the clear liquids today, not looking forward to not being able to eat anything tomorrow.

I just completed my last Dr appt and my prep work before everything is sent to the insurance for approval.  Trying to take it all in stride and remain calm.  It's hard not to get excited about all the possibilities.  My daughter and I went to check out consignment stores in Denver and Colorado Springs to see where I can sell my clothes I won't be able to fit into soon.  I had hoped to find one similar to my favorite one in Greenwood Indiana, but didn't. 

My doctor said she would get everthing ready to send to the bariatric doctors office over the weekend and it should be there on Monday.  Could be another month before the insurance says yes or no.  Let's hope for the yes.

I'm beginning to tell more people what I've been doing in regards to RNY surgery.  Have a few close friends in different states that I have yet to tell for fear of resistance/non-supportive.
