Hi Karebear =)

First let me say I hope you are resting & healing well.

I'm considering the surgery so I hope you don't mind if I ask, but how is the post-op?

Wow - thanks for checking in ... please keep posting so I can get over my fear of post-op (and pre-of for that matter !)

Thank you, so far so good! Pain is there but totally bearable, I'm now 4 days post op and feeling better everyday. For me I had no real pre op diet and now I'm on the 2 week clear liquid and 3 Meal Replacement drinks a day. I still don't have a clear understanding of what my body wants from the signs its giving me but I know it's going to take time., as of now I feel gassy haven't had a bm and having slight hunger pains and noises but not feeling hungry, strange I know. I'm excited to heal and get started in becoming comfortable in my own skin again. Overall especially so far I'd tell if your considering it I'd say go for it if your willing to put the time and effort into you I'm no expert by any means and will be learning everyday, probably right along with you guys so if you have any questions or want to talk about concerns i'm here! Happy 4th of July girls!
