Who is driving you home? Do you have someone to help? I will pray for you. You are very brave.

I think you need someone to drive you home! In my hospital, they won't even release you to a cab! Good luck!

I haven't had a solid yet. I was the same day as you. Are you still on liquids only?

I should have mentioned that, I started cottage cheese, yogurt, eggs, refried Beans on Thursday. Prior to that was only Clear Liquids.< /p>

Because it's to help shrink the liver and I should only be eating "good"carbs....if that makes sense?

Good to know, my surgeon didn't tell me that, but maybe I'll just have those without the Protein added for the next few days then. Thank you!

We all probably had some second thoughts' date=' but then for me I just said but what life am I living now?[/quote']

True better today just want to get past the first 3 days surgery, I'm a wimp I am ready. Just afraid of failing like all the other diets I've been on. I so desperately want this to work!

No' date=' I have not had 2nd thoughts. Just scared for the after surgery part. The gas in chest, not being able to drink, no energy. But the pay off will be worth it. I have been researching foe 2 years & followed 2 friends go through this journey. I've been really grouchy the past two days and "nesting". I want my house clean and organized for my hubby and son. I want to be able to come home and relax without having a dirty house. crazy nerves I guess? ![/quote']

Yes I can understand that I have been leaning today also. And I'm anxious about the gas pain surgery and all that too. Glad to know I'm not alone! Thank you.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
