3 days away and terrified

How was yours? And how are you doing?

I feel very fortunate. I have no nausea and very little pain. Recovery and the postop diet are going well. Im feeling more and more sure that I made the right decision everyday.

How did it go and how are you doing?

It went well. I was released after lunch the next day. A little tender in my gut but I'm sure that's expected. Discharged with pain meds and I took some before bed last night and first thing this morning, but havent needed more.

Not hungry at all, I know I have to eat so I am but not hungry at all. My husband and I went to GNC today and got some unflavored protein to mix in things to make sure I'm getting adequate protein intake.

Thanks for asking!

Hi There. Yes, I was terrified too the week of surgery. When I got to the hospital I was actually at peace with the decision. When I was waking up after the surgery, I thought, OMG, they did the surgery. I didn't want it, NO! NO! NO! Then after I really woke up and was "with it" I was relieved and at peace again. The first week or two after I went back and forth with my decision. Now I can say I am so glad! No regrets, only that I didn't do it 10 yrs ago. There will be grieving that's for sure but your life will unfold in front of you like never before when the weight comes off. It's an incredible trade off.

I wanted to thank every one again. Im home an doing well. Not much pain and no nausea. Walking alot and doing stairs. Had 2 0z of a protein shake over 25 minutes and felt totally full. Im hoping the rest of my recovery goes as well. Thanks again for your encouragement it really helped me through a tough patch.
