I am one week out day and feeling much better today than even yesterday. I'm actually sitting at my kitchen table catching up on some work from the office. I moved to pureed foods today, and I can already tell a real difference with my energy level. I am looking forward to next week when I move to soft foods!
I've been very blessed thus far with eating and drinking -- nothing has made me sick. I dealt with nausea and gas for several days, but today has been better. Incision pain is also finally getting a little better. I can stand up straight again, and I can get myself out of my recliner.
I've lost 7 pounds since surgery and 21 pounds since I started the pre-op diet. Progress!

Officially on the losers' bench! Surgery was at 8 this morning
All went well. Now just dealing with the "too many crunches" abdominal pain. No gas pain as of yet.
Tolerating Water fine. So getting ready to try chicken broth and Jello.

It's funny how they're all so different. My doc encouraged me to try scrambled eggs three days out -- I didn't! But I did move to applesauce and very runny oatmeal around three or four days' out. Tonight, I'm going to make chili and then puree it -- looking forward to some meat!

This reminds me of a weird problem I had in my last apartment. My scale never seemed to be accurate, and I would have to weight myself like five separate times in a row and take an average. I realized that the floor wasn't level! That wreaked havoc on the scale trying to accurately weigh me.
It's probably not what the issue is for you (@chasingpolaris321 is totally right in the daily fluctuations). I ended up having to find the one place in my apartment that was hard flooring and level to weigh myself - and it happened to be the front door entry. Since I tend to weigh in my birthday suit, I had to make sure that door was triple locked haha.

I just got home from the hospital. All is still going well. Having some significant pain in my left-most incision. Otherwise, I feel fine. Just need some sleep.
Best wishes and prayers to everyone whose surgery is coming up soon. At least from my perspective, it's not been as bad as I was afraid it would be.

Well, tomorrow's the big day. Not as nervous as I thought I'd be today. Just ready to get past surgery and start healing.

Good luck ohbrother

Hi -- I'm new here. Scheduled for gastric bypass Oct. 16. Very nervous but excited.

One week from today! Can't believe it's this close. I still have bouts of nerves, but overall I'm settling down. I'm ready to begin this new phase of my life!
