Hello everyone! Sorry for my delay in posting. My surgery went well good on the 9th. No complications at all. I don't remember being wheeled into or out of surgery. I was really worried about post op pain & I had none. I stayed 3 nights in the hospital which consisted of walking & resting. I am able to tolerate liquids as if I didn't have surgery. I have to be careful not to guzzle fluids. I thought I would have trouble sipping but that's no issue. I'm gettining in popsicles, pudding, jello, Carnation Instant Breakfast, G2 gatorade & creamed soups. Is there something that I'm missing? I feel like I'm not getting enough of my fluids/protein in. (?) I wasn't given any instructions from discharge at the hospital. I know someone will come along & help me out here. Thank you for your insight!! Congrats to those how had surgery with me!!

At the hospital. In pre-op waiting for them to get me!

I'm not sleeping. I'm a nervous wreck!

BIG HUGS to those of us having surgery in the morning!! God bless us with a safe surgery & speedy recovery!

You will be here before you know it! I have been reading everyone's posts & excited to be on the loser's bench. Now the time is here! Thank you for the well-wishes! I will be returning them to you sooner than you think!

Tomorrow is the BIG DAY!

I'm in Dallas, TX

I'm making myself sick too! Worrying constantly! I'm really scared of the pain. I wont sleep tonight either! HUGS to you

My surgery is Tuesday & my mind is running wild too! Its nerves

Cooksie: Are you getting overly nervous yet?

My surgery is Tuesday & I'm a bundle of nerves!! Almost to the point I'm making myself physically sick. Please say a prayer for me, thank you!!

All surgeons are different but a majority of them DO require a 2 week liquid diet. Your surgeon should let you know if one is required.

My surgery is Tuesday morning too! Yes, I couldn't sleep last night wondering if I'm making the right decision. I think it's perfectly normal to be second guessing because this IS a MAJOR life change. I just told myself to hush & that we WERE doing this! lol

Kat: I was about to lose my mind on day 8 so I talked to my nutritionist who said it is ok to have a small chicken breast & small salad with 1 tbsp of vingerette dressing ONCE a day. She said that will not interfere with the liquid diet. I have been doing that for the past 4 days & it has really helped my hunger. You might want to give it a try. I've lost 8 lbs in the past 12 days. My surgery is Tuesday!

I rented a recliner because I've read that it is easier to sleep in until a couple to few weeks out. Its a really comfy one.

I know!! We'll be on the loser's bench REAL SOON!

Clairpooh: Were you in a lot of pain when you first woke up from anesthesia?

Good luck to those having surgery tomorrow!! This time next week I will be on the loser's bench with you! Exciting!!

YES, L Belle... I have had horrible headaches. ESPECIALLY the first few days. The 3rd day I thought I was going to have to go to the ER. Now, 7 days later they are getting better but still lingering around. I hope you get to feeling better soon! Just stay focused because there were a couple of days I thought I couldn't do it. It's a huge adjustment. Blessings!

Thoughts & prayers to you Anewre! You CAN do it... "no one ever said it will be easy, they just said it will be worth it!!" ...Stay focused

Best of luck!!

I'm with Vicki! I cant wait to feel like you do! Its an exciting time.. just an adjustment that I'm positive is perfectly normal. Keep your head up & on the path of success!!

Congrats on your surgery date! I know just how excited you are to finally have a date!

Congrats on your surgery date!

Thank you for the kuddos...lol ...the 2 week diet is miserable. I'm on 7 of mine. One week from today I will be on the loser's bench! So excited
