Well everyone I am getting more and more nervous with each day that passes. I have never had surgery, besides wisdom teeth, and have never really been put under besides for those wisdom teeth and my Upper GI. No kids, no broken bones....pretty healthy person. So the thought of surgery is scaring the living daylights outta me!!! trying to stay positive but have almost backed out several times now. Start my preop diet Monday! Anyone else feeling the anxiety????

Hey August 1sters - how are we all doing?

Had drainage tube out yesterday and feeling 100% better (strange feeling getting that pulled out).

Going back to work next week - desk job so no major lifting.

Yay!!!! That tube was terrible!!!!! I thought I was gonna punch that poor girl in the head when she took it out!!! So glad your doing well!! I go back aug 19th! Have u stepped on the scale yet?? I'm down 9lbs just from surgery! Woot woot!! How was everything else?? I'm struggling with hunger right now! but I hear it gets better when u can move onto puréed!

The doctor removed mine and did a local around the site and then sent some down the tube to numb the area and the diaphragm . I've heard without it that it produces quite the scream

So far down 10 (total 20 with pre diet).

It's my choice to go back - I own the company . Will probably start off 4 hours a day and build up during the week.

Only seem to have gas issues in the morning - oh and when I drink too fast.

I keep asking my husband I let me smell his food he thinks I'm nuts but I am looking forward to "tasting" omething other than chocolate, vanilla or chicken broth !
