Through all our bad days and good days we have to keep remembering our reason for this transformation. For a new life, another chance to get it right. A healthier you. A chance to have children.
With these thoughts they will get us through our darkest and hardest moments. Together we can encourage and relate to each other.
I can't wait until the day when we look back to say wow. All of this right now was worth every minute of it. Every hard hour, every hospital trip and doctors visit. It was all with it. We are new again.

Jewels34, my bad. I should proof read my messages. I meant mushy /pureed foods.
I stated today. I had yogurt. I've never wanted yogurt so bad. Lol.

Congrats J170. My surgery was at 8:00am that same day. How are you feeling?

I'm getting in 24 ounces of Water and I'm also on Clear Liquids. But he advised me to get in the Protein also. My friend gave me unjury chicken Soup it meets both criteria. But still only 30 grams of Protein.
Thanks for the info about other posts. Makes me feel better.
How are you dealing?

Just left the hospital. Right side is still hurting but otherwise good. The morphine made me extremely nauseous.
Good luck jennolsen !!

Hey jennolson. I'm so happy for you.
You're doing great.
When I first came out I was in pain but mess kicked in. Then I had a little gas pain. Now I'm good. No more pain meds.
Jewels the nurse called it the gift that keeps on given. Lol. You be running until the morning. Sorry.

Prepping all day. Clean house, wash laundry, last minute shopping and getting my hospital bag ready.
Yay, this time tomorrow I will be out of surgery!!! It's getting too real. ????

I live in San Leandro, I would be interested.

Same here.lits of walking. Finally got off IV and now starting my liquids. If all goes well I get to go home today.
I hope you're doing well Jewels!!
Thanks for the update jennolsen. I'm glad your doing great.

Just take deep breaths to get over the anxiety. After sugary tomorrow just walk, walk, walk. The more you walk the lass pain and faster you heal. When you are laying there in that bed and you feel like not walking because of the pain or tiredness just do it, get up and do a round or two. You will feel so much better after.

Maybe he is just scared and that's how he is s dealing with it. I know it's not an excuse maybe insight. Like meshelle920 said you have to do it for you. Burg my parents have passed so I told my Aunt, her only concern was will you be able to eat at Thanksgiving? Lol. Really
Hang in there. You have a support group right here thought we cannot be there in person we are there in Internet spirit.

I have been on mushy foods today, tomorrow Clear Liquids and a colon cleanse in the evening. Not looking forward to that. Lol.
I had to make dinner for my husband while I had Jello.
I'm so excited for our new chapter!!!

I could just cry it is so bad. I wouldn't wish this on my x husband. Lol

Congrats to all having surgery tomorrow!!! Prayers for a speedy recovery!! My surgery is October 13th..

You could die a ton of other ways, at least if you die on the table you won't know, you could drown or get shot 100 times finally dying on the 100th bullet, I'm sure that would suck more than not knowing and feeling no pain.
Same with a plane, so much more to worry about in life than being afraid of something you have no control over.

Try passing time. When I'm feeling hungry I hop on the Xbox and play some games and drink Water. Don't quit my man. Try and stay the course. You're ahead of me in this process so I need you to make it through this man cause when I get to this point in the process I'll need your help and encouragement. Ride or die!!

Hang in there kiddo! Remember how you used to look forward to Christmas or a birthday party and time seemed to stand still? Well, now you're grown up, but going thru those pains again. The preop diet is crappy, the post surgery diet is crappy, but this too shall pass! Think of your shiny new bicycle waiting for you as your prize! (Or in this case, your shiny new body) It's worth the wait and the craziness the experts put us thru! No one here will tell you not to follow your doctor's orders, but I think a phone call to the doctors office might be in order if that's what it takes to keep you on track. Maybe your NUT can give you some suggestions. I switched from New Direction drinks they suggested to me, to Unjury which wasn't nearly as awful. So there are always alternatives if your body can't tolerate something. And instead of Protein drinks/shakes afterwards, I've been making my own homemade broth and straining it. It tastes like Real food, not a pouch full of chemicals. That plus sf popcicles keep me going. Because of your special medical needs you should check with the pros though. And keep pushing those liquids! Pee out those free radicals, no more free rides for them!
Just try to keep positive thoughts running thru your head. Once Old Man Doubt finds his way in, it's hard to kick him out. And post often. Folks here can offer other helpful ideas how to cope. After all, you're worth it!!

Do the positives out way the negatives? That's what I keep asking myself. Stress can cause corresponding pains / aches.
I'm nervous too, but to remain the same unable to run, and keep up with the little ones, in my case my nieces ( I suffer from infertility, from PCOS) and you could potentially get diabetes, suffer a heart art k or worse.
The odds of death or complications are minimal. The odds of the other comorbidities are greater.
Maybe you can also talk to your surgeon to help you decide.
Do you have a date yet? Mine is September 14, next Monday. I'm nervous too. I thinks it's natural.

my surgery date is September 14. I'm also nervous and excited. This new chapter will be great.
This forum has helped me greatly with all the questions I have.
Good luck!
