one gut staple free!

Had my doctor follow up today. As much as i wanted to go I so didn't wan to go. I work nights so the day before going back to work i flip back to nights by staying up all night. Well I get the family up in the mornign and get them out the door and try to go to bed. The key word is "try" I layed there for about 30 minutes which for me is 29 minutes longer than it should take. I then got up and did not fall asleep till 11 ish I had to be up at 2 for the doctor. uuuggggggg! But i went, lucky for me it was uber quick i was out in an hour total. First step was them removing the staples!!! So much better I was so over the staples. So after that the doc comes in and he looks at the wounds and was like ok looks great any questions and he was out of there. Must of had a golf game. Any way I got my appointment for my first fill which is Dec 28th! I really for the most part haven't been to hungry the mushies are going good

Week one weigh in and one goal down

Well THursady was my weigh in day and what doe sthe scale say......

13.2 Pounds ah ah ah to be exact and the count is exact!!! Yep fellow bandsters I lost 13.2 lbs so far and while in bandster hell to boot. Alice is very proud of me and my restraint over the last week. I was on liquids til yesterday but i was cooking for the wife and kids and managed not to cheat at it and stayed on liquids mind you by day 3 i was so sick of liquids but a quick trip to the store to get a different soup made a huge difference. I also made a protein packed Cuban Black bean soup which is damn good.

I also had my first NSV as well my 42" jeans now will fall straight off my waist. I have them held up with a belt and that will be the case till i fit into the 38's i own!!!

So where were we oh yes I was making out with my wife.... Every surgery is a different experience or should I say every trip with Anastasia. This time i woke up and had to go to the bathroom sooooo bad. I mean i thought i was going to piss the bed. So i ask for the urinal and try to go. I swear my brain is completely wired so I can not pee in a bed even when trying. So it was complete misery until I got to my room. So after crawling out of bed to the bath room to take a piss. Mind you with the amount of fluids they were pumping into me I did the i kid you not every 35 minutes.

So this was my view for the over night visit. It was not to bad the tv was good and I had a morphine pump and this

This is the pain buster ball. basically it drips numbing stuff inside you stomach through a tube so the area stays numb good idea let me tell you.
SO they let me out about 30 hours after the surgery and Alice drove me home. Picked up 50 loratab on the way home. What can i say the doc does not like pain apparently.
The heal up was not to bad i was in very little real pain and almost no gas pain. I will say the noises in the bathroom were epic. you almost had to cheer for them.

Here are my insions

Sitting in the dark

Well the power went out might as well update. The surgery was a success and I made it out alive I have pics but I will get to those later. First funny story of the day. After i was stuck with my iv and talked to the doc the game me the calming cocktail well appear fly it makes me want to make out with my wife she told me later the people were waiting to wheel me back and I pulled her over and started making out with her. Yeah go me!!!! It wasn't till after surgery I was showing my dick to everyone again

big day

Well tomorrow i the big day ! wish me luck

Liquids..........

Day 1 of the liquid preop diet, hows it going you ask...well I did not cheat. But i swear i would of clubbed a baby seal for a slice of pizza the kid was eating.
I have been knocking back the sugar free jello like it is was free ;) Which brings me to a slight problem. I do not like artificial sweeteners. The give me a stomach ache and the after taste ugggg. I know this something i am just going have to put on my big boy panties and get used to but i don't wanna that's for sure.

Now the water and jello is alright but then... I came to broth. Now as we all know broth is boring but when you have not had anything good all day I took a drink......

This is my actual face!

2...minutes...to midddddddddddnighhhhhhhhttttt

What was I doing...Well eating the last of the big meals, good bye old life. Now mind you during this meal I started to get the twitches of a panic attack. A whole bunch of what the hell of i done!!!!!!! That and a fear of chewing, that's right i said chewing....

Back story , my teeth are not the greatest I have what are called "punk rock teeth" one to many microphones smashed into my mouth does not do wonders for teeth. But the real damage came from my beam radiation when I had cancer. The doc said if you are lucky you will get to keep your teeth... awesome. MY fronts are still good but my back molars are slowly going the way of the buffalo. 2 are completely gone, another is about 3/4 gone and the other one has been rebuilt by  very creative dentistry student. It is very common for me to go .ummmm fuck just lost another piece of tooth.

So anyway when i am eating if chewing gets difficulty or painful i tend just to swallow it down, this will be a problem , I am sure i will figure it out but it made me a little panicky
