  1. I was so excited, I wanted this! Now the day is tomorrow and I'm extremely nervous. Not sure why, but I'm having lots of weird emotions. Any advice?

    June 27th sleever...nervous!

    Day 4 post op....very busy day today. My gas pain is minimal, I think it's due to lots of walking around. Even in my house, I walk in circles. I'm tired after a trip out and about and when I come in I sleep for 2 hours. I'm consuming a fair amount of liquid, typically 2 to 4 oz every hour to hour and a half. I'm monitoring my urine color because I'm scared of dehydration. Today a 4oz jello takes 30 to 40 minutes...I still feel that "i over ate feeling" but it goes away once I start moving around. My surgery was Tuesday and today is Saturday, I'm down 10lbs already.

    So today is post op day 2...had some jello this morning. Feels like a lot of pressure, kinda like the overeating feeling. It's taken me 2 hours to finish a 4oz cup. I go home today and I'm trying to figure some mushy meal plans. That's suppose to start tomorrow.

    Woah! Surgery completed successfully! I've been knocked out most ofthe day, so I'm just getting to respond. Here's a few tips, Ive learned thus far: 1. BRING LIP BALM 2. MUST HAVE THE GAS STRIOS 3. DON'T FORGET A ROBE, UNLESS YOU LIKE TO SHOW YOUR BUTT...LOL 4. WALK, WALK, AND THEN WALK SOME MORE. THIS TECHNIQUE PLUS THE GAS STRIPS...PRICELESS. 5. Try to RELAX...although easier said than done. .. My pain is minimal for now. I've been sipping on hot water, cold water and my beloved ice chips. No hungry craving. Maybe I'll admit, I was worried for nothing. Good luck to each of you!
