Topic: CAME HOME YESTERDAY!
Came home yesterday.  Surgery went great with no hitches.  More sore from using my back and shoulder muscles to get in/out of bed than anything.  Worse thing that happened when I got home is kids wanted me to watch Open Season 2 with them.  Good thing I was pretty tired and fell asleep shortly after it started cause it HURTS TO LAUGH!  (and cough)  Will post on my blog about surgery when I can just wanted to let everyone know I made it through with flying colors.

Topic: RE: SURGERY TOMORROW!!
Thanks so much!  And YES I AM!!  Surgery went great!  Had hardly any pain meds.  I had more soreness in my back and shoulders from pulling myself in/out of bed so that I wouldn't rip the stitches.  Will write on my blog when I can.

My surgery was on the same day as yours..I am home also!   Just tired and can not  drink enough of the protein, broth etc..Never in my life have I not been hungry! 

I am nauseated and very sore.  Have not needed pain meds since yesterday.   Other then that my labs & GI test look good. Doc called in script today for nausea.   We will succeed!!!

 Yes I am receiving the sleeve.  I am on the liquids for a second week.  It is very difficult.  I have also been over weight all my life.  I also have changed for one addiction to the next.  
I notice this post on the vsg site it might help put it in perspective

Thanks Bonnie... To be partners it this journey would be fantastic.  I wish I had a positive attitude like you do.  I try to self talk like that but it is really hard because I am such a food addict.  I always seem to think I am losing out on things..  Are you having a sleeve procedure?  Do you have to do a liquid diet before it?  I am struggling with my diet.  I understand that we have to do it to be healthy for the surgery but I don't lose weight easily that is how I got into this mess.  You know what I mean?  Keep in Touch I am going to send a friends request.

 I am in the same boat as you are!  The same day and everything.  I too am scared of the unknowns and wish I had done something else to prevent having to go through this.  But to me it is time to take control and have the courage to face the challenge ahead.  I found out that I am not giving up food but I am gaining a healthy attitude towards food so that it does what it needs to and not any more.  We can be partners on this hard weeks journey.
