Hi all,

I've been lurking for a few weeks but need a little support! Surgery is tomorrow, and I'm actually not nervous. Just a little anxious about the few days after. I know a couple people (in person) who have gone through this but it's so nice to know there have been so many through this.

Thanks for all the support, and I'll keep you posted!

congrats, you'll do fine! Big hugs to ya.

Good luck.

Good Luck and Congrats!

Thanks everyone!

Don't worry about it! Just remember, when you wake up after surgery you will realize that your new life and a new journey to better health has just begun!!!!

So surgery was Thursday (28th) and today is the first day I feel normal, lol. I had major gas pains n my shoulder which made it really uncomfortable to sleep. I gave in and took the prescribed pain meccand a sleeping pill and found a reasonably comfortable position to sleep in. I slept! And, I woke up without the shoulder pain. My abdomen is slightly sore but what I expected. Really hope the gas pains are gone for good!

Congrats!!!!!and good luck!

Yep my surgery is finally tomorrow an I'm so nervous. Been fine this whole process so far just can't believe it's finally almost time

Congrats!!!! and good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How r u doing with the clear liquids I'm starving

I personally haven't been very hungry. Today is the first day I've noticed it. 4 days post-op and I've been having the low carb Slim Fast shakes (dr approved); each one has 20g of protein. Also Greek yogurt and sugar free pudding with protein mixed in. I think it will get harder but I have to use mind over matter. In about a week I can start adding soft foods so I just have to focus on that!
