Surgery is fastly approaching...8 days away 
time has flown by. I still remember the very first appointment me and my fiancee were sitting next to eachother thinking, "Omg this is going to be a long journey". But in all honesty after being there and now where I am, it goes by fast! Good luck to anyone else who is having surgery this month as well.

Topic: RE: Update us on your surgery!
I had my surgery this past Thursday (09/06/12) and besides issues with the IVs as always it went great. I was on clear liquids that same day. They released me from the hospital on Saturday morning and I'm doing well though I seem to be sleeping a lot. I hate jello and I hate popciscles. Cannot wait until the puree stage where at least there will be some substance to food again.

Topic: RE: Update us on your surgery!
I'm starting my 5th day now. Yesterday was hard because i am stuck on not driving so boredom has taken its toll. Last night I even dreamed about sneaking off to work!
I'm finding it difficult to a) get in a my liquids b) get in all my prescription meds and c) not think about food. I have had success on the scale, so that's good, but man another week and a half of liquids only?? i'm going to go crazy! I think i will work some today, so that'll take my mind off food, I think. And i did star****ching New Girl on Hulu+ but then I was laughing and that wasn't so comfortable!
I know my cry is coming. I'd rather cry than have rage, though. Again, with the prescription drug situation, it's hard to take my antidepessants. I take about 45 minutes just to take all my pills. I guess I'll start to space them out and maybe that will help. I have to space out my vitamins anyway, so perhaps that is the solution to my problem!
I did have a breakthrough last night! I slept On my stomach! I remember waking up bc it was painful when I turned over, but I made it and I slept better!
Have to call the doctors office this AM RE: a pain in my lower right side. It's been there 5 days and hasn't gotten better. I'm sure it is nothing, but want to make sure just in case.
Sorry for any strange typos. Still working from my phone.
Speak soon!
