Today I am more sore and tired. I feel like someone kicked me in the left side of my tummy. Still didn't take any pain meds. Trying to stay off them.... I hate being in lala land. :)
Stamped some of my Magnolia Stamps onto cardstock and plan to start coloring them this evening. Last night I almost completed the Tilda Witch with Vampire Edwin. Such a cute card designed by Lisa Cook. I wasn't able to go to class today so I picked up the kit.
Here is a link to Lisa's cards on Facebook. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Creative-Cards-By-Lisa/314052109010?ref=ts

Day 2 Post Op
Feeling really good. Didn't take any pain medicine today. Went to pick up my Magnolia Stamp kit, Witch Tilda and some new copic pens, then to Joann's and then home. Felt food to get out for a little bit. Took a short walk outside with my hubby. Eatting cream soups, applesauce, and chocolate pudding. All these I have added protein powder to. Supposed to get lots of protein daily. Helps to keep muscles good.
Worked on coloring my Witch Tilda and Vampire Edwin this evening. Such a cute card this is going to be. Will finish it up tomorrow and work on some others. Halloween is just around the corner. :)

Post Surgery - Day 1
Doing ok. Very sore where the lapband is inserted. Not eating yet. On the Clear Liquids only stage until tomorrow. Total calories is only 150- 202. Taking pain meds which cause itching so taking generic Benedryl and also chewable Bonine to prevent nausea.
Larry is being a wonderful hubby. Getting me what I need if I am unable to bend over to get it.

Surgery Day
Surgery went very well. I have slight pain but pain medicine is working. Dr Sydney Hu is awesome. She found a small hiatal hernia and repaired it at the same time as as placing the lapband.
I am very grateful that God has allowed me to have this done I am very grateful that my husband is so supportive and has helped me immensely with the process.
I am grateful to all my family and friends for their prayers and encouragement.

Surgery is tomorrow, finally!
The day passed quickly. Had an all day meeting, came home and have been doing some chores that I won't be able to do for several weeks. Have lots of projects to work on while I am off, including stamping some stuff for Halloween cards.
Day 10 of Preop Diet
Well, today is the last day of my preop diet. Lapband surgery is tomorrow. I am a little anxious but excited to finally get this new journey started.
I am praying for a positive outcome. I know there will be some discomfort but I am prepared to go through it for the results of this type of surgery.
Haven't had a chance to get back to my scrapbooking and stamping. Will do a lot of it while I am recovering from surgery.

Day 8 of preop Diet for my lapband surgery
Just 2 more days to go til surgery. Today was harder than any so far. I wanted something yummy. Had cauliflower with fat free chicken stock and some chicken for dinner. Then, had some cottage cheese with cinnamon and sweetner. That was pretty good. Then I had some apple. So, that is it for today. Back to work tomorrow after being off for 4 1/2 days.
