I also wanted to thank everyone for their encouraging comments and support. It is so helpful to hear others that are going through the same thing. They have a support group on Tuesday nights at the hospital that performed the surgery for us. I have yet to attend (just had surgery thursday). Does everyone else have a similar set up at their hospital? Our doctor will not give us a fill until we have attended a number of sessions post op.

The day I was picked up from the hospital, my husband bought barbeque and french fries drowned in barbeque sauce. I could have killed him. He has been eating like crazy while I am on a liquid diet and get up at 3 a.m. hungry because I have had a lack of calories. Surgery was December 7th. It is the 11th and I have actually held down 3/4 cup of carnation instant breakfast. this has been the first thing that I have been able to drink without feeling sick and nauseated afterwards. i guess things are getting better. I am experiencing gas pains but the nausea is subsiding. I am starting to feel that I may be able to live with this decision.

Okay, surgery was Thursday, December 7th. It is now Monday, December 11th, and I feel like crap. I am nauseated, sore, weak, dehydrated and feel like i can't do anything. Does anyone know when this will pass?
