That's awesome! Way to go!

Thank you all for the information and support. I appreciate it a lot. I'm gonna do down shopping today. I don't have family or friends that understand what I am going through so it's been tough.

I am two weeks post op and I still haven't been able to get all my protein and fluids in each day that they want me to. Maybe I am just out of the loop on resources for protein? I was finally able to eat a scrambled egg today. I am at a loss and need some help guys! My energy level has plummeted and I know it's because I'm not getting enough.

I'm 4 days out and struggling with full liquids, I just have to go very slow and let it kinda bubble down before I take another sip. Why are they giving you antibiotic? They gave me IV antibiotics while I was in the hospital. I hope tomorrow is better for you. It's been a roller coaster for me. Good days and bad. Good luck!

I hope all goes well and you make it home safe.

I didn't drive. My husband did. The bumps were rough but it wasn't unbearable. That is a long drive. I would make sure to get out and take a couple of short walk breaks. Where are you driving to?

I had my surgery on Monday. It's been tough but I think from everything I've read here it will be worth it. Just try to stay positive. I just got home today and am already feeling much better than I was yesterday. Good luck to you!!

Everything went great today. Dr Fass did a great job. He used some tool called a spider so I only have one incision at the belly button. I'm having pain of course but nothing I can't handle and I have a wonderful nurse who antipates all my needs. I'm glad this part is over and ready to get on with my life!

I have mine at 7:30 tomorrow. Good luck to you!

I can't believe that you were have such bad symptoms from just pain meds. Glad you got it figured out!

Nice to meet you too Mel! I get more nervous everyday! Best wishes to you as well. My name is Bonnie.

This is my first day on this forum. I am really looking forward to getting to know everyone. Everyone is so supportive and inspiring! My surgery is on Halloween!

I'm having surgery on Halloween as well. My youngest daughter turns 2 Oct 29th. I'm sad to miss her first real trick or treating experience but I just keep telling myself I am making myself better for my kids. I have an older daughter that is 6 and she doesn't understand why I am having surgery.

Wow that was quick! It took me approximately 6 months til surgery. My surgery is October 31st as well. I'm so nervous! A lot of my family members and friends are excited for me. I'm not at all because I can't get past my nervousness. I just found this site and this is my first post!
