Just checking in, it has been 8 days since surgery and I'm just laying low at home. I had my belly button incision leaking clear liquid with blood in in it a couple says ago but I just kept putting toilet paper over it until it stopped a few hours later. It's been fine ever since. I am no longer taking pain meds and have gone out shopping and to a movie this week.
I am moving slowly and cautiously but it really just feels tight and sore. I have had no problems getting my fluids in so far and all seems to be going well.
I hope everyone else is doing just as well!
Good luck to all

Ok so I'm at work and on my clear liquid diet. I got the call this morning that I am to be at the hospital at 5am tomorrow.
I'm having trouble concentrating and just want to go home, pack my little bag and go to sleep so I don't have to think about this anymore.

That's not far at all! I will turn 43 on 10/13 so it was important to me to do this before getting one more year older. I'm skidding in sideways on that one and making it by 10 days. Whew!

I weighed in at the Dr.s office at 227, my weight is now 208 and I am pre op and I don't see it on my body but I see it on the scale! 13 lbs is a bowling ball! It's a lot but spread out all over from head to toe it's not going to show much, keep on going and you will soon see the results.

A little bit.... I start my self inflicted liquid diet tomorrow and can't decide if I want Chinese or chicken wing for my last solid lunch for 2 months.
I know it's not forever so that is helping with me reasoning with myself.

I'm so glad for you! It's been a long road. Welcome to the forum. I am scheduled for October 3rd surgery.

I just had my one on one with the surgeon today. He said I would be in the hospital for 2 nights, and I need to lose 5 lbs. I think he only said it because I asked about a liquid diet (stupid me). I'm getting nervous too and excited. It gets a little more overwhelming each day the closer it gets.

My psych wore her lipstick far outside the lines, it was hard to talk to her without laughing. I'm sure she thinks I'm a pretty happy person

Haha! I'm convinced that psych's are all the crazies! Why are they all so weird?

Aww thanx. I just get so anxious because the time is going by soooo slow for me. Its like that saying a watch pot never boils LOL

Yay!! I added you!

Just got my surgery date of October 3rd!
My first weigh in at the doctors office was 227, I am now 214.
I am 5'2" and my goal weight is 110 so 104 lbs to go!
I'm so greatful to be given this oportunity for a second chance at life.

I have had to have psych clearance, cardiologist clearance, EKG, chest X-ray, upper GI, bloodwork, urine sample, primary care dr clearance, dietician class, support group meeting and a Dr. Talk to explain the procedure.

Passed the stress test today, now onto the potassium check next Friday :/

I'm in ... I cant stand the frozen meals at the store now. All the weight conscious ones have red peppers! I hate those! Why can't they put those on the side in a bag??

Wow! What an inspiration!
I hope your birthday is the best one yet!

Thanks Jen! That makes me a little less stressed. I don't know why I'm getting myself so worked up. I'm not a very good waiter...
I hope they have the answer on Monday!
Thank u for all the great info!
