Youre welcome =]

Thank you! I am so nervous! Does it hurt at all to swallow?

For me it never hurt to swallow it was just hard to swallow enough Water with pills because i would fill full and uncomfortable right away. But im 5 days out and its okay to swallow small pills. I cut my big in half and take them about 10 mins apart.

Just feeling full. Its a new type of full feeling like pressure in your chest. (for me atleast) i didnt want to push it and get sick at first but each day im able to get more in.

I thought some might want to see what it looks like after you get surgery.. Please dont mind my boobs i made sure no nipples were in the picture. Also it was hard for me to get all wound marks in the picture since i took it myself. I took this today i had surgery may the 4th. So this is 5 days after surgery. I have 6 wounds.

If you have any questions about my journey these first 5 days please feel free to ask.

Good luck with surgery today! I had mine may 4th. Everyday will get better! First few days was hard for me to even get fluids down id just try and make sure to sip Water and ice chips when you can. They put so much in your IV at the hospital you wont get dehydrated for a few days at home anyway. Just make sure to work on Protein when you get to your stage two diet.

My doctor turned in everything on Thursday the 24th. Tomorrow marks one week of waiting. Hoping to hear something soon. I have BCBS in MD. Doctor said it shouldn't take long to hear something. Just hoping surgery will be early May as I have a cruise in early September.

Its possible that i have sleep apnea i suppose. My father has it.

I feel you guys! Bad thing is ive been gaining weight! They dont seem to really care though. They said. Just dont gain to much. Lol for me its very hard to maintain a weight. After the new year im going to try loosing a few pounds. Not to many though =p

So good to know im not the only one like this! Its kind of hard for me to start trying to eat heathy and all though lol!
