Are these anxieties before VSG to be expected?

Hi Jamie! It's been a tough week, but I'm doing okay thank you. I'm eating pureed foods and cottage cheese, but not much. Am drinking my protein shakes and trying to get my water in. I was in the hospital for two days and on pain meds for two days only as I didn't want to be groggy or reliant on prescription meds. So it's been a tough week because I've much rather endured the pain than be in bed all day from the pain meds. This has been really good in that it's helping me heal very quickly as it's forced me to walk and stand more than probably other patients would following VSG.

I have a constant pain in my abdomen (left side) due to the stitches my surgeon placed on my stomach muscle (yikes). Apart from that I am doing well. I was back at work (remotely thank goodness) on Tues and driving on Wednesday. I've lost 20+ lbs in three weeks: post-op diet and last week included.

How are you feeling??
