Mine in April 27 too. The only thing I'm nervous about is that they will cancel the surgery for some reason.

Topic: RE: 2 weeks out! report in!
Hi Tami,
I had surgery the same day as you did. I am still feeling very tired also. My Dr still has me on pureed food and will have me on this for a month then I get to graduate to soft foods. I have not been hungry at all. I am forcing myself to get my protein in (like you I am not liking the shakes after the surgery) and my liquids. My biggest problem is that they had to put a feeding tube in because of gastroparesis and this area is extremely reddened and sore. This will be coming out on May 1st and I am sure I will be feeling 95% better after that. I too have had cramping pains up around my left ribcage. I have just in the last few days been able to lay flat but not able to stay that way past 30 minutes without some discomfort. I am still sleeping with a pillow on my abdomen to help with some of the discomfort.
I guess that big news is that I have lost 24 pounds and like you my clothes still feel like they fit the same. I am guessing it is still related to the edema in the stomach area.

Topic: 2 weeks out! report in!
ok so i am feeling a hell of a lot better. I dont fell as thirsty as i was in the begining so i have to make sure i focus on water everyday. Thank goodness for soft foods! My first poached egg was delicious! mmmmm... a slice of cheese, to die for. It has made me get closer to my protein goals than i have been. My tastebuds definatly shut down to the taste of protein powder after surgery. it is quite weird to make myself 2 tablespoons of mashed yams. I only know how to cook BIG. But then i took out the ice cube trays so i wouldnt waste. It is kinda weird. I have felt hungry... like i could eat a horse... but couldnt even finish my meal AND I WAS SATISFIED. i havent had any trouble with foods yet so i guess that is lucky. i am still really sore by my big insicion where the camera went in. the doc said that would be for a while, but im a wimp. I keep getting charlie horses and your stomach is a weird place for them. I guess this is just the healing process but sometimes it will feel like fire or a hot poker. Its not a continuing pain. just if i move the wrong way etc. Im still not than comfotable lying flat yet so i am still sleeping in the living room. i tend to get tired easy but who wouldnt consuming so few calories.
