Back to reality (work) tomorrow. I will be 15 days post op tomorrow. Thankfully, I work from home a few days a week, but the days I go to the office means a 1.5 hour commute. I have been so tired...no, exhausted the last few days. Went to a wedding Saturday night and my son's soccer game on Sunday, and I just haven't bounced back as quickly as before. I need to start working out, but just don't know where the energy is going to come from. I got tired shaking the pepper shaker tonight while making dinner! LOL

Anyway, hope all goes well for those of you having surgery tomorrow. Praying for safe surgeries and speedy recoveries. As I've said, for me, the first 24 hours were the worst. Just know that you will feel much better after 48 then 72 hours! Just hang in there!! See you on the other side!

I am so ready to get this dang catheter out and get something to drink lol! I got up and walked twice last. I can definitely tell I am more sore today but noting crazy. Good luck to today's surgery people!!

I'm on the way to the hospital. I can feel my body shaking a bit inside. Is this what anxiety is it feels like?

Good luck ladies. my surgery is in 45 min I was so nervous they said my blood pressure was a little high

It is just the policy of this program for me to be in ICU for tonight.

Ok,scared the pants off of all of us, and not cuz we're losing weight Either..lol...glad To see your Dr protocol is so high..I hope you a wonderful day and a speedy recovery..welcome to the losers bench.

I am on my second hour of water trials. I will be headed up to my regular room after lunch today ) everything is going great!!

First day back to work today. It was too soon... The ripping pain in my left side is still there' date=' thank goodness for the belly wrap that my husband bought me at walmart. I was in the ER this past Friday for the pains that won't go away in my side. They did a CT and sent me away saying "we dont know why you are in such pain" apparently no infection or obvious issues. It is so frustrating not knowing why i hurt so bad.. [/quote']

Gas, also if you are bending dOwn at all or lifting more than 5 lbs. My Dr took me back to clear liquids because of my pain and bed rest for 3 days cuz I was loading the dish washer and washing clothes he said it was to much. Hope you feel better soon.

September to remember what a great name for our fb page.

Jessica hope you are feeling better you are home from the hospital right?

I am almost 12 hours until my surgery time' date=' I have to be at the hospital at 530 am. My SI joint is still painful but a bit better. I excoriated my skin on my backside with the ice pack I made and now have a dressing on it, hope it heals up some for tomorrow.

I have reduced another 8 lbs. went to the pcps office today to weigh in thats 28 Lbs eliminated pre op. I took my collection of Davinci syrups out of storage but could not find my smaller sized clothes. I did find my smaller scrubs including a brand new pair that's butter soft and I never got to wear them. They almost fit when I bought them but then I Gained wt.

Send your positive energy my way tomorrow. I will be bringing my iPad but not sure when or if I Will be able to get on[/quote']

Lifting you up in prayers all day..

Hey guys my surgery is in less than 12 hours but got to be there at 5:30 I'm super nervous I think it wouldn't be so bad but my families worries always worry me. Rachel' date=' what time is your surgery?[/quote']

Prayers, and a speedy recovery to go home..

I'm on the way to the hospital. I can feel my body shaking a bit inside. Is this what anxiety is it feels like?

Yes they will give you something for that when you get there..you will be fine..good luck we will be waiting for you on the otherSide

I to have to be at the hospital at 530 for a 730 surgery. My son and I are leaving at 430 am just to be sure we get there on time. I am packed but I still have tremendous pain from my SI joint injury. good thing is walking helps so I am motivated to get up for two reasons and all the pain is distracting me from any worry or fear. I have been on clears all day and actually feel a bit hungry but all I am having is another Popsicle. Good night my friends good luck to all my surgery sistas

Remember sip sip sip walk walk walk

So excited for you Racheal! Prayers, prayers and more prayers! See you on the loser side.... <3 ya

Pain pain pain and more pain. Thinking post op infection no temp tho. But my open incision site is so tender and draining the pain is radiating from front left side around to the left side on my back. Going to see surgeon. Worst I have felt since waking up in recovery.

so' date=' i finally called my dr today, the 1st thing out of his mouth is :hello pinky" (my hair is Hot pink)lol, well it was about the leftside pain as it last about 2 hrs, he put me back on clear liquids... I wanted to start crying right there on the phone, he said if the pain doesnt resolve after clear liquids and and enema I have to go back to the hospital. WTF, he asked what i had been doing around the house and I told him, emptying the garbage, loading the dishwasher and washing clothes, he said NO. NO, NO... that is why your in so much pain you are not to be doing anything for at least 2 weeks.. well hell then, tell my husband and 17 yr son that mom needs a maid.. sucks that we are moving into our new house on BASE on Thursday thank go for TMO they are going to pack everything in our house.. I really dont want to go back to the hospital. I am better working at one than being a pt ...lol. well my prayers and well wishes to everyone this week that is having surgery and everyone that is healing I hope and pray for a healing and speedy recovery.. have a blessed week...[/quote']

Pinky you better follow the doctors orders an sit down somewhere. I'm sure your son and husband will take care of everything. Like most women we like things done a certain way. For now you need to let them help you out. Hope you feel better soon.
