Day 4--feeling great

Feel great today. No nausea, no pain. I'm a little sore in my stomach but no pain unless I bend. I'm not hungry at all. No hunger. None!!! I found out I shouldn't be crushing my wellbutrin because it's Sustained Release, so they told me I should be able to swallow it whole. I'm trying that tonight. If for some reason it gets stuck, I need to ease it down with warm liquids. My chewable centram orange taste pretty good. My only issues are not really surgery related. 1. I only told people at work that I was having surgery and didn't tell them why except for two people I'm close to. Other people have been speculating what kind of surgery I'm having and gossiping, which kind of makes me mad. They are guessing I had some kind of cosmetic surgery and even suggested lap band as a possibility. I don't really know why it bothers me because it's not a secret, I just didn't feel the need to tell everyone at work. I don't feel like it's their business. I'm off work for a month though due to my sick leave running into my christmas vacation, so I'm pretty sure i'm going to look different when I return, so I'm sure they will guess correctly that I had WLS. This bothers me, but only a little. I just feel that sometimes they are mean spirited in the way they gossip. I'm not embarrassed about the surgery, I just feel that I have the right to privacy about my health.

2. I randomly met a guy two days before my surgery and he keeps asking me if I'll go out with him and I keep putting him off. He wants to get dinner and I'm on liquids right now. I'm debating whether or not to tell him. I don't like to lie and I hate making up excuses that arent' true. But I do want to go out with him.

Those are my biggest problems, and as you can see, they are little inconsequential issues. I am very happy so far and I'm down 18 pounds from before I started the pre-op diet. My pants are looser and my butt looked better today. Day 4 is a good day.:thumbup:

wow that was a good read, Im keeping it from every one at work except my cheif the supervisor and one co worker. For the fact we served in fort polk louisiana togeather and have that bond u know? Im also keeping it from my long distance boyfriend!! Im debating on where I can have the port placed now wher it isnt easily felt durring hanky panky!! Just say when you go back that you hired a personal train whome has really really watched your diet for a rapid start!! forget those ppl this is you and they will all forget when they see you shinning.. As for the man friend, I would feel very comfertable if we could schedule out date for this time era and we could conversate over the phone for a bit first??

I'M SO GLAD TO HEAR ALL IS WELL. AS FAR AS GOING OUT ON THE DATE WITH THAT YOUNG MAN, I WOULD GO. IF HE'S FOR YOU HE'LL BE AROUND REGARDLESS, SO TELL HIM THE TRUTH, IF YOU FEEL SOMETHING CAN COME OF IT, IF NOT, DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.

Good advice!
