Topic: 4 days out and I almost feel like a normal person!
I'm a little sore, tender at the incision sites, but other than that, I feel totally great! I'm not sleepy, nauseous, or gassy - yay!
Looking forward to going for a pedicure with a girlfriend this afternoon. And REALLY looking forward to eating something other than jello and vitamin water zero!

Topic: Surgery in 2 days... Feeling very nervous
Im sorry to be such a Debbie Downer... especially being the new girl on the board. :S
My RNY is scheduled for this Wednesday. I've had surgery before, but not for many years - before I had children. I'm an emotional basket case. I hate to be so morbid, but I'm afraid I won't wake up. Makes me very sad to think about... and I've considered writing my daughters letters. Did anyone else do this? I'm trying to remain calm... I don't want to talk to my family about it because I don't want them to worry any more than they already are. I'm really not normally such a maniac... This emotional rollercoaster has thrown me threw a loop.
Thanks for listening. :)

Topic: Ok maybe stupid repeated question
Where do I get those cute lil trackers for my signature? My brain is so befuddled right now, I am not sure where to look.
Topic: RE: Anyone else having issues.
If you can have yogurt and tolerate that, try it, that might be a bit more filling. I am not allowed any solid or semi solid food until 4/30, ugh and we went to Ikea yesterday and that cinnamon roll smell hit. His mom offered me just a nibble, but I was good and said no, I do not want to even tempt the fate of dumping.
For the one who asked about protein. I am totally in love with Nectar. Right now I have the Lemon tea flavor, and when I mix it, I put a sf lemonade drink mix with it, to help kill the whey flavor. Fuzzy navel is another good one, which I need to order. But I also thought with the tea of mixing it with decafl Iced tea.

Must be normal because I am feeling same way. I could never imagine looking foward to a puree diet, but I am. The ironic part is I am not hungry, so I know it is all in my head. I have also had my unfair share of pain and nausesa. So I am right there with you. My wife had her surgery a year ago and is doing great, so I know it does get better soon, just wishing it was sooner than later. So keep your eyes on the prize which is an amazing new life.
