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?

That's actually a great question!

You can have your nurse disconnect the IV to put your shirt on... Or just go with the hospital gown and wear pajama pants. Having an easy pair of slippers was nice too...you will be doing a bit of walking around. I was very sleepy must of the time, so enjoy the rest and be as comfy as possible

Hey everyone. I'm recovery. Everything went great. Took about three hours. Pain isn't too bad...great pain meds. Gotta get up and start walking soon. All in all, I feel fantastic! Just really tired and they're watching my temperature cuz ita slowly going up.

So glad to hear all went well!!

Went out and bought two recliners hoping to have them here before the 11th. Try the 15th. I won't be traveling home until the 14th so one day in the bed won't kill me. With me in such a rural area i basically have to order in things i need. Now just to try to make a shopping list for the last minute things which I'm sure i will forget a couple of things.

Your temp usally rises slightly after surgery it did for me when I had my ten other surgerys

Add me to the April 15th list! Wooot Wooot!!

I can say that sitting here wolfing down my broth' date=' SF peach jello, and SF cranberry juice makes me wonder why I would ever guzzle burgers and fries the way I did. I still feel like I am hungry, but day 5 of the 14 day clear diet has me not starving anymore. Just having the hunger twinge for real tasting food. Anyone else doing that?[/quote']

Yaaay congratz

Ah okay lol it seems to have gone now thankfully. I was able to sit up and get out of bed all on my own. They were shocked lol but then lightheaded and dizziness and nausea started. But I feel great!

Hi, I'm new on here and my surgery date is April 13th. I did the 4 week liver shrinking diet so I start all liquids on Sunday. I was anxious about it because I've never had any type of surgery. I have a great doctor and a new support group and now you guys! It took years for me to decide, but here I am!

Welcome to our group! We learn a lot here and are a great source of support!

Well I feel great! Knock on wood... Haven't had any trouble in recovery at home! Surgery was on April 2nd. I'm a little tender but no biggie. Tummy has gone way down from gas. Walk, sleep and eat. Finding it hard to drink so much.. Used to love water, it now tastes like ammonia. I use those little crystal light squeezes .. Amazing. Protein shakes with water.. But nasty. Everyone on phase 2 make theirs with skim milk or unsweetened silk or almond milk? So far so good!
