Is it too early to start an April thread? I didn't see one yet.

I'm scheduled for April 22. I still have to finish PCP clearance and psych then insurance approval but don't anticipate any problems. Once I started my appointments the excitement and anxiety kicked in. I started 6 month supervised diet in August....this used to seem so far away and like a vague idea but its so real now. My anxiety is double as my husband's date is march 18 and I worry a lot more about him than myself. How are all the other April folks doing?

Good luck to the rest of you in April. I had my surgery April 8th so I'm on day 12 post op. struggling with the liquids because that's all it is. Not enough variety' date=' but I'm trying to buy different soups and strain them and purée them just for different tastes. I'm sorry to hear some of you are experiencing pain. It does get better every day. I'm having very little pain at my incision sites but nothing inside. I went bowling today- carefully- and did just fine. Only one game though. Well good luck everyone!! Your day will be here before you know it.[/quote']

I started purree foids today

The first week or two r the hardest

This is the only surgery I've ever had so I count myself lucky to not have the experiences you are all having with the pain. I haven't gone in for my checkup with the doctor yet but I'm ready to get back to work, and hope he will okay me next week. I'm a teacher so there's only a few weeks left. I am starting week 2 tomorrow post op and will do full liquids, looking forward to the shakes again. Get up and moving as soon ass soon as you can. Also try the foot and ankle exercises while you are sitting to avoid any clots. Good luck!

I doing good today, found out the I had a lot scar tissue and bad stomach.! So my jobs was 5.5 hours long. Walking lots and meeting all the nurses. So ultra sound on Monday than maybe home.

Thanks jannyb35' date=' we are less than a week, how's your pre-op going?[/quote']

Hey Mel1975, so far so good!! Sundays my last day of eating HEALHTY solids for a while!! I had a little clinch this past week with my sleep apnea test not being fully completed in both parts and I had to do the 2nd day sleep lab with the mask last night and let me tell you I don't ever wanna be in this shape again where I can't even sleep normal without assistance!! So much of my life has become dependent on assistant devices, I so look forward to leaving them all behind!! Please pray all gets lined out with that issue and my surgery is done on Wed as scheduled!!
