You will be fine, just remember why you started this journey. I will keep you in my prayers and keep your seat warmed up for you on the losers bench!

Deep breath in.... good now out!

I was the same way before my surgery too... You just have to remember that this will change your life, in the best way possible.

Good Luck and we're all rooting for you!

Meet the Surgeon Aug 1, 2011 .... hopefully the surgeons office is right and everything will go fast and I'll have surgery later this month.

I feel like a wimp. I had two c-sections and was getting around better after those than I am right now... although my Dr's nurse just called me back and said if it helps than i can put on my spanx. When I put pressure to the incisions with my hand it helps maybe the spanx will too.

I still have pain, especially if I walk around the mall or someplace like that.  I faithfully take my meds.  But each days I use less and less and increase the time inbetween doses.
I sitll feel like I just had surgery.

Topic: RE: For those about a week out +
I'm one week out today and still on clear liquids.  My stomach rumbles, grumbles and moves constantly.  I thought I was hungry but when I drank something, it felt like a rock hitting my pouch.   I attribute it all to gas now. 
My dr only wanted me on clear liquids for a few days and suggested cream soups and things like that.  I'm too afraid to test those waters.  I'm still working on getting my liquids in because I', never thirtsty or hungry, just tired from lack of sleep and sore from the statples.

Yep, I was feeling so good that the hubby and I went to walmart last night, because I had last minute things to buy for some gift bags, and now i am hurting so much. Let alone until yesterday I also didn't have to deal with my kids, because I was staying at my dad and stepmoms house. Now my husband is at work and I have to deal with the kids.

So for all those other post-opers, when did your pain go away? I really would love to get back to some sort of a normal life. I miss being able to pick up my boys and cuddling them, and I can't stand to see the house such a mess!

Topic: RE: Is anyone else still wearing their stupid drain?
It wasn't an intra-operative leak that they discovered during surgery. They did tests during surgery, such as pouring water along the staple lines to check for bubbles and saw nothing. The leak was discovered 7 days post-op when I went to get the drain taken out. It does sometimes happen. A 1% chance, but it happens. It just sucks when it happens to you.
