How is everyone doing?!?!

I'm on orders from my own doc to eat as much puréed protein as possible. Think it's best we follow our own drs orders.

Went home yesterday, later then expected because I had a big wave of nausea. So nice to be home with my little boy. My aunt has been spending a lot of time with us n I have needed that help! Pain is minimal it's the gas that causes most of my discomfort. Drain areas are a little tender but I expected that after the crazy pain of pulling them. (Owwwww). Trying to get in my protein has been hard only because I don't feel like making anything I just want something I can grab n eat. My aunt Is going to purée some chicken today so hopefully that helps but I has a sf Popsicle for breakfast lol. Any questions feel free to ask!

Jus checking in. Surgery was yesterday at 730 am. Pain isn't bad. I'm up and about good. Cath is out o2 is off. Nausea was the worst part if everything last night n this am but now feel good just tired. Off to bed for me, hoping to go home tomorrow! Blue ice test was gross for anyone who has to have it as was the swallow study lol

Thanks!'

My surgery is tomorrow 7 am.. Any advice? I'm worried about the pain.. Do you feel full faster?

I'm so scared and nervous too!

Eating my last meal! Tomorrow is all clears then surgery Wednesday! The group had a few surgeries today and I hope they went well!! Please let us know how you are when you can!

Good luck to everyone who has surgery this week! I'm Wednesday! Can't wait for it to be over with and be home healing!

I'm scheduled for Wednesday and I have the same concern!

I'm on day 6 of the 14 day preop and I'm so hungry!!! Lol we can do it Amy!

Holly I completely understand! I keep second guessing if its the right decision. I keep hoping I'm not the statistic. I just feel like this is my last chance to get my life back n be a better mom! Here's hoping we both do well!

That's my biggest fear- what if I don't make it? My son has never met his dad I'm all he has. But I keep reminding myself I'm doing this not just for me but mainly for him, to be a better mom, to be able to run around with him, to be healthy for him to be around as long as I can. I keep praying it all goes well!

What scares me is: if it's this hard now, will it always be this hard? If this is how it will be after surgery ill fail!

Day one was the worst! The hardest part is still making meals for my son (single mom) n having to have a shake myself! I keep telling myself 10 more days today!! Lol

Omg you're lucky! Lol this protein shake for breakfast and lunch n 4 oz meat, half cup veggies for supper preop diet I'm on sucks!! Day four and I'm so hungry!!!!

Started pre op diet today. I'm so hungry lol I'm getting nervous and having second thoughts its terrifying to think of the changes to come. I know I can do it but its going to be a long two weeks!

Yeah definitely have some jitters! I know it will be okay but I'm a single mom so it makes me nervous! Every once in awhile I have to remind myself why I'm doing it! Incorporating the preop diet into my work schedule will be interesting too! I just want it to be post op already!

I feel you! Here's to hoping those two weeks fly by! I'm here if you need any support! Have you gotten surgery jitters at all?

I start Wednesday with surgery date of 4/9. Not looking forward to the two week diet

Pre op appointment with my pcp today went good! Pre op diet starts next week and I'm all set!!

I start shake for breakfast, shake for lunch, and 3 oz meat with veggie for supper on march 26th with clears 24 hours before. Anyone else nervous about two weeks of living on shakes? Or for the surgery?

Yay I'm April 9th too!!

My date is April 9th!!!
