Thank you all and of course my wonderful sis!!! Today is Thanksgiving day and after reading all of your supports and warm messages it makes me feel alot better. And alot of the advice has opened my eyes and I do realize all the things yall are saying. And I know I will still have a few more breakdowns but I will be ok. Also tommorrow I am headed back to the gym to the treadmill lol and gonna start me a small routine to get me going and can;t wait for my month out to start a few little weights. Gonna try to get myself in a better frame of mind.
I wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving !!! ty again for the advice and warm messages..

I have read alot of these articles before my surgery and thought i would be prepared for it when it was my turn, but it is so much harder than i thought. Watching my kids and hubby or my twin sis go out to eat or even my mom's cooking I miss, it is so hard. Most times I end up crying and breaking down. I know in the long run I will be so happy with my descision, right now it is just hard to see beyond this moment. Only 5 more days and I get to eat solid food. Feels like forever. I dont have the hunger for the foods it is all in my head but I haven't gotten ahold of myself yet. Hopefully eating solid foods again will calm me and make me feel more normal. Just being on all this liquid and watching everyone eat is killing me. And it seems that the more I heal the worst I am sleeping lol I can't sleep on my right side but i can on my left and now making my shoulder hurt. So annoying. And also it seems I am always thirsty, I drink my Water and can't get enough of it, but can't drink that fast or that much. I am trying to get all my Protein in but I am not reaching my amount but I read alot of people don't get their reccommended amounts in. I hope I am not alone in this. Also just read a post about the spit no swallow lol I did that just recently and it helped sooooo much.
One question if any read this.. does anyone ever use ketchup or mayo type stuff on there foods? I was wondering cause I always ate ketchup on my eggs and when I can eat them again i was wondering if i would be able to put just a tiny itty bitty smidgen on them as i eat? just to have a little taste. Ok enuff venting sorry for the long post just having a hard time.

I am looking for more friends to add on myfitnesspal.com site. I am new to it and am loving it. Please add me or post your name here for me to add you. My name on there is lelebug79

I will add ya on mine I have it as well and love it

I am from Natchez,MS but I had mine done with Dr. Bellanger in Baton Rouge,LA and he is THE BEST!!!!!!
it has been 4 months since my operation and with no complications at all

I am 2 days post op and my stomach hurts I can't turn over to sleep on side but I guess I am handling that ok but what I am concerned is that I can't seem to get enough of the protien in.. I am drinking the chicken broth and alot of Water.. is that ok? I know after 3 days i don't have to be on that whey crap anymore, I also have some sharp pains that likerise up then disappear? not sure what that is about. But for the most part i am doing ok. Just ready to be on the shakes. Also taking meds by liquid...ewww lol I have more sympathy for my kids now when i give them thier liquid meds lol...
Hope someone has a bit of advice
