Went back today for staple/drain removal :) and Doc said to advance to softs/creamed foods!!! So I came home and scrambled up and egg and ate half of it, wasn't sure if I was feeling full or not, but didnt' want to push on the first food adventure post op, but it was warm and felt great to eat something for a change !!

Okay, I have to totally agree with you!  Surgery for me was 4/21.  Home on 4/24.  THANK GOD they kept me there that long.  I had no idea laporoscopy would be so major in every way!  The follow up upper GI day after surgery I thought i was going to die.  i have six little holes on my upper abdomen and one (included) in my belly button.  The dermabond glue makes them a little "dimply", but healing will help for sure. 
I had my husband bring our recliner (that is part of a media grouping sofa) down to bedroom and it has SAVED me.  I sleep in that and get up shower, dry hair (takes all my energy) then i drink a protein shot and get a little energy back, do a little around the house and then whooped again!  Back in recliner!  I am feeling better everyday, but like the song by COLDPLAY says "No one ever said it was easy.....but no one ever said it would be this hard".  Those are my thoughts on Gastric Bypass surgery......but I know it will be worth it.  Just keep thinking that.

 

Hey are our moms dating the same guy. That sounds about how he is. See my dad passed away April 13, 06. This was the first guy she met after my dad so i guess thats why she needs him. She has never mourned for me dad. I guess she is scared. She was with him for 35 years. IDK but all i can do is be there for her and ignore him.

 My Mom's "Boyfriend" is an a**hole too.  She's had a string of them in the past and they were all jerks to me, especially about my weight.  This one told me that I should just get hypnotized and learn to put the fork and knife down and I'd lose the weight without having to go through the surgery.  This is the same man...no joke...who asked how much it cost to turn someone into shark bait at the funeral home as we were making plans for my Grandfather's funeral.  I've just learned that they are ignorant.  I love my Mom...but not her choices, but she doesn't like my choices either.  Know that you are the better person and tell him to mind his f'ing business.  :-)

I still don't think it's completely hit me yet.  I don't think it will until I am actually in the hospital on Thursday...it just doesn't seem real.  I am so ready to start my new life! 

It will be interesting to see each other's progress since we are having the same surgery on the same day.

Take care!
