sharob reacted to Debiksmit in May Sleevers...where are you?
I went to the grocery store today to shop for my post-op diet. OMG!! All I could think of when I was in the store and looking at things was "well I will never get to eat that again..." "I wish I had eaten that before getting on the pre-op diet..." "how will I live without eating those again?"
What an ordeal! Has anyone else experienced this? It made me want to cancel my surgery!
Help - comments appreciated.

Hi Deb. Good luck on your surgery next week I will pray for you. I used to live in MD for 15 years now I'm back in NY. I had my surgery last Tuesday May 12th. So I'm now 4 days postop. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I was very nervous and scared the day of my surgery. My surgery was Tuesday and I was back home on Wednesday. I had some soreness the first three days and was taking the pain meds they gave me. Today I woke up feeling a lot better. I have no problems drinking. You have to keep hydrated so I'm sipping Water all day. I was lucky because I could keep food down so my doctor put me on soft foods when I left the hospital. My mom also took me and I went home with her I too live alone. Today I'm going back home I'm starting to feel better and need to get back to my routine.
I still have one more week off from work to recover. You will be fine. Keep in mind why you doing this. Good luck. Keep in touch with how things are going.

What really burned me was I had already turned in my FMLA paperwork to HR and gotten the time off I wanted approved at work. Now I have to do that again while saying I can't really be certain of the dates, etc. Aetna seems to think we are just policy payers and not real people. Thanks for letting me rant. I almost feel better now.
