Heading to surgery
Wow that sounded pretty drugged. Heh. I think the pain I feel is from hernia repair. I am having no trouble drinking warm or cold. Just those muscles under my l left chest area hurt like a biatch. Codeine in 1.5 hours

Crying pot op
I got home from surgery around noon. My husband made me walk 15 minutes before getting in to bed. Then I woke up to having to use the restroom. He didn't answer his phone and I started freaking out. I made it and heard him in kitchen. I called over and over and he answered but didn't come. I just burst into tears and haven't stopped yet. He is hitching about finding sugar free jello. I love him. Had no idea his bedside manner sucked..., not sure why I am so teary.

Has anyone become single as a result of their weight loss surgery?
I met my hubby at 18... I was FINE FINE. We went our own ways for 20 years and got married 4 years ago.. he still loved me 100 lbs Heavier. He is quietly supportive of the WLS. I love him and we have never been happier. I wouldn't mind if men flirted more, and I don't worry about my straying eyes. Even at this weight I have guys trying to flirt. Not tempted at all.

Pre op diet, did I blow it?
Blah... this is a support forum, not a verbal argument forum. I appreciate others for their support. I know you aren't giving medical advice, and can only share your experience. That validation was what I was seeking, and I thank you for that. As for the judgmental tone, I could do without that. So comment on another thread, buddy, and leave support to those people who are capable of empathy.
