035 Jimmy's Surgery Day

Jimmy right after he checked into the hospital
for his surgery. 44 lbs lost on the pre-op diet!

If you didn't know, Friday was the day! Jimmy and I went to Heartland bright and early for his gastric sleeve WLS. Everything went amazing and they were even able to take Jimmy back for surgery about an hour early. I have a clip for you today and we recorded around 12 hours post-op. I did the narrating for this clip because Jimmy's throat was dry and a little sore from surgery. I hope you enjoy it anyway :)

Also, today's picture was taken directly after Jimmy checked in for his WLS. We also found out that Jimmy has lost 7 more pounds on the pre-op liquid diet between when he weighed on Wednesday and when they were prepping him for surgery on Friday. So that was really exciting news and a great way to start the day!

034 Week 2 Pre-Op Liquid Diet Update

Heartland Regional Medical Center
This is where Jimmy is having his surgery done.

Good morning, everyone! Today's the day. Jimmy and I are at the hospital as we speak, and we are getting ready for his surgery. Jimmy is scheduled to go into to surgery at 9:00am if all goes according to schedule (but we all know how doctors and hospitals are).

Anyway...

While we are having all of our "fun" I wanted to give you a chance to find out how the second week of Jimmy's two week pre-op liquid diet went. Again, he recorded a little video for you every day and I have compiled them into this week two update.

 I hope you enjoy the video and I ask that you keep Jimmy in your prayers as he begins this new chapter of his life today!

 

029 Pre-Op Week 1 Update

Friday! Friday! Getting down on Friday! Ok, now that I have had my Rebecca Black moment I can get to work. So I have been promising more videos from Jimmy and today you are going to get it!

Jimmy has been recording daily video diaries about his experiences during week one of the pre-op liquid diet. I have compiled all of this weeks clips into one video for you that I am posting right here--right now! No editing has been done to the actual video clips so you will see and hear everything that Jimmy has recorded for you. The video is about 6 minutes long and I hope you enjoy it.

But real quick before I post the video I want to say a BIG THANKS to our friends, the Grieve Family, who live in Arizona. Feeling the love and support from you guys. Thanks for the Flintstones vitamins that you sent from our WLS Wishlist on Amazon. We still have a lot of things that we need to buy to get ready for the surgery and beyond. THANK YOU!!!

Now on to the show!
