Having surgery tomorrow 6/29

I just came back from my doctor's office to get weighed and I lost the necessary 10 pounds!! I am so exited!!

I also did my pre-registration call -- it is so scary to be asked about a living will, blood transfusions, etc. BUT, I guess it is something that is done with every surgery. I just pray to GOD that I will be ok. I know there are risks to everything but when you make a decision to have elective surgery it is always scary. Wish me luck! :001_unsure:

So, I just got back from the dr.'s office and he said that I can go on a full liquid diet now and on Monday on mushies...

I am so exited! Oh, and when they weighed me -- I had already lost 14 pounds (10 pounds post op and 4 pounds since surgery on Tuesday). I am so exited!

I am sitting here eating some homemade chicken Soup (blended with veggies and chicken). I am feeling great. Most of the gas is gone. Just wanted to let you all know how it was going. :)

Good news, glad its going well :o

ok.. so yesterday had an awful bout with nausea after I ate the chewable multi vitamin... AND for the first time felt hungry. Am I suppose to feel hungry? I just ate this morning and I feel hungry? Is that normal? It is like an empty feeling in the pit of my stomach???

I had my surgery the same day, and also went home the next day! I did experience some pain and discomfort (more than I thought I would, the first 2 days were intolerable!), but now at 5 days post op I'm feeling much better, down 9 lbs since surgery, and 24 lbs. since my pre-op diet!
