wow ...
well i did great during surgery i got down to 307lbs by day of surgery, and i pulled through like a trooper even after it taking them 6 tries to get an iv started to knock me out (my veins kept collapsing they had to bring in an ultrasound machine), and twisting my arm about blood tranfusions... that is a blog for another time but the trouble began in recovery... sorry to disapoint someone but i'm still here i didn't die like you had hoped...
Recovery is only suppose to be 1-2 hrs i was there for damn near 6 hours... my oxygene levels dropped, my blood pressure spiked, and my heart rate spiked as well.
Finally i get to my room and never so relieved to see my beautiful cousin payge at my bedside. I cried i was so happy to have someone there waiting for me cause how it was going is there would be no one there waiting. Payge and i have ups and downs and are as different as night and day but when push comes to shove we are closer then most. I am truely blessed for the bond we share we deff should have been sisters instead of cousins.
I got released on friday the 22nd and was never so happy to be home with my cats and my beautiful 4 year old.  I have 24 staples and 6 incisions in my stomach. I'm a lil concerned over one of the incisions because they cut over an old scar from my gallbladder surgery and when i had that surgery that incision gave me hell to heal i ended up with a pocket of blood behind it and had to have it drained by needle etc.. so let's keep our fingers crossed nothing like that happens now.
so it would appear that my new stomach is not quite what it is cracked up to be or promised to be i am deff loosing the weight and rapidly it's kinda scarey how quickly and has sent my anxiety into overdrive the last couple of days... I am having trouble when it comes to meal replacement drinks.... seems my new tummy doesn;t like boost or other milk based drinks simliar to boost and ensure... which is fustrating... so now it's time to try and see if i can gag down a boost juice.. *sticks out tounge* not looking forward to that cause they taste like chalk.
I am on this liquid diet for another 3 weeks before i start my stage 4 diet... my staples come out this monday i can't wait cause right now i am so afraid they are gonna catch on something... i have been going stir crazy sitting here at home i'm used to being out and about with my little one. so i have taken up baking even though i can not partake lil miss enjoys helping. I turned in my kitchen last night forgot the drawer was open and damn near caught my staples on the corner of it lemme tell you i breath a huge sigh of relief i didn't lol.
a huge thank you to all those that supported and encouraged me through all of this. I shutter to think where i would be without you all. Dad, Grace, Momz, My aunts darlene and sharon, my sisters fiona, tammy , kristi and my best friend Tanya. Clayton, Larry, Chico, Melvin "q", my neighbours and so many more thank you.
