 Thanks Leslie and Patsy! You'll both do great!!! I can't wait until we're all home, safe and sound, and on our way to a new life!

I'm going on the 22nd!! Tomorrow is clear fluids day for me!!!

Good Luck everyone!

 Good luck Emmigirl! You'll do great!!!

I am the 23rd, RnY.  Can't wait until I get home safe and sound.  You will do fine with your surgery.  I wish you the best.

 Are we all home yet? I hope everyone's surgery went smoothly and you're all recovering nicely. I'm doing pretty well. I'm 4 days out. Definitely starting to wish for something more satisfying than liquids but I know I just have to get through the next 10 days and I'll be enjoying some pureed food (which will probably taste like heaven).

Take care, everyone!

I had surgery on the 22nd too.  I got home on Saturday.  I had a bout with either dehydration or blood pressure meds today.  Had to sip H20 for about an hour, but other than that, I'm doing well.  Glad to here that everyone else is doing well.  There was a thread on the main board about refried beans and cheese and I'm getting very, very excited to try it. 

 Yes! When I was pre-op I always thought I'd enjoy refried beans and cheese stage. Now I'm REALLY looking forward to it. I am enjoying low-sodium chicken and beef broth because it's the only thing that's not sweet. My vitamins, pepcid ac, and protein shake are all sweet but that icky  artificial sweet. The broth is a nice change.

Today is 5 days out and my clothes are feeling loose! I haven't weighed myself but I feel better already!
