Hi,

Well I've finished day 7 of pre-op diet. I lost 3lbs.

I stuck to the letter and it wasn't too bad, at all !!

Tomorrow I have my last visit with the surgeon and my pre-op testing for surgery. Well the surgery is just around the corner. I'm getting excited :cursing:. Have all my shakes, soups and power shots. So I'm ready to roll!!

Hi All,

I'm Back!! It’s day 3 out of surgery and I’m feeling pretty Good!!!

My Dr. had to do a "Substantial" Hiatal Hernia repair. I was on the table for more than 3 hrs. then to the recovery room. Soooo, most of Wed. was a Big Blurrrr.

Thu. was very long and uncomfortable but, I still wanted to go home.

I walked my laps around the surgical ward, Stage 1 fluids, my stage 2 protein drink and left Hospital @ 5:30 pm. I arrived home 8:30pm.

Fri. I was up to watch the sunrise, and went back to bed. I did good drinking my fluids. I went slow & steady to meet the requirements. Much less gas pains than my 3/31/10 gallbladder surgery. No nausea, no choking and no throwing up. These were my biggest fears. I’m just hanging low for the rest of the weekend.

Thanks for all the support you’ve given me!!

Hi,

I'm even better today. Off the pain meds and taking a short trip to the store. I'll drop a note later!!:thumbup:

Carol Glad to hear your surgery went fine, and that you are feeling good enough to get out.

I am some computer problems over the weekend due to a bad storm here and was not able to login. I thought about you and hoped everything went fine.

I hope that you will keep posting and let us know how things are going as you get smaller and smaller.
