Surgery on Thursday!

Congrats on your surgery. Mine is on the 29th a day after yours. Good luck with everything. 

Good luck to you also!  How's your pre-op diet going?

It was rough the first 4 days.  I had a headache every day but now I have gotten used to it.  I lost 9 pounds in one week so that was definitely a bonus.  

Tomorrow will be day 7 for me.  I haven't really had an issues until today.  My stomach hurt and I was fairly nauseous most of the day, but I'm feeling alright now.  9 pounds is awesome!  Great job!

Good luck!  This is such a life changing event. I am 4 days post-op.  You don't really get good solid rest till you get home because in the hospital they bug you every few hours for something.  I had a hard time keeping liquids down the day after surgery, but the next day I woke up and felt like a new person. I was able to keep down 4 oz of clear liquid per hour, which is what I needed to do to go home. My tummy on the right side is a little sore.  But I've lost 15 pounds:  10 pre-op and 5 post-op.  Working on drinking shakes and clear liquids. It's not easy cuz you really don't feel hungry at all.  My doctor told me that I don't have to drink 2 shakes per day like I thought, i have to work up to 2 shakes per day over these 2 weeks.  That made me feel much better and less pressured.  

May this be the beginning of your new life!  The journey is incredible.

Thank you!  It sounds like things are going very well for you which is incredible to hear!  You have brought me some peace of mind as I am getting more nervous every day closer I get to surgery.  Thanks again, bubbyjane!

You're off to a great start! It's wonderful to see people so excited. This will be the best thing you have ever done for yourself :)

Good luck with your surgery and we will be welcoming you to the losers club soon!

I truly believe this will be the best thing I've done for myself!  So many things will change for the better.  I cannot wait.  Thank you for the welcome!  

Hi Ashley- your surgery is tomorrow and I'm thinking about you.  I had surgery Monday and I'm feeling good.  Minor gas pain is the only bummer so it is all going according to plan.  Keep us posted on how you are doing....ups and downs.  You got this!! Wild Woman

I'm glad you are feeling well so soon after your surgery.  Keep me updated on how you're feeling also.  Hopefully it will give me a little bit of a heads up before it happens to me.  I go at 7:30 am.  I'll keep you in mind to calm my nerves.  Thanks again.
