Got my date... September 3rd. Anyone else scheduled this day or in September?

Are you doing liquid vitamins or pill form

I ordered the pre-packaged liquid vitamins from Wellesse. It is everything you need for the first 30-60 days for about $50/bucks. I think I will go to pills after this, but I will have to play that by ear.

My heart and prayers goes out to all the surgery people of 9/23/2013 especially Fran the best sister ever. 3years and 3months to the day of my surgery. We will finish the journey together...... See you when you wake up on the losers bench........

I really need to vent...Today has been a horrible freaking day. Above my drain incision has hurt all day, even with pain meds. If I moved a certain way it felt like something was pinching me. I've been trying to avoid going to the er and waiting till the doctors office opened tomorrow to call them. On top of all that had to deal with my bf eating a whole pizza in front of me, and sleep until after 1pm. I can't sleep more than an hour because something ends up hurting cause I'm sleeping in a recliner couch. If I knew it was going to be like this I wouldn't of had this surgery.

Keep strong Amanda. It sucks right now but I promise this won't be the rest of your life. It will get better. Just remember that you are a fresh surgery and once you see the surgeon they will figure it out and fix it. As for your boyfriend, he is an ass and if you can't leave him yet bc of housing then emotionally write him off if he won't support and respect you. Just focus on the future, in a year you will be so much smaller and maybe a new job with a new guy. During my recovering, I have been watching wedding shows as I told myself I wouldn't get married fat. So a wedding in my future is now finally what feels like a possibility and I focus on that goal. Make a goal for your new body and focus on that. You can do this!

Kkayy.. Less than 10 hours cant sleep,but tired, gonna try even if just to shut my brain off. Whole range of emotions all day, and still. First surgery ever....that is adding to all of it. Hate hospitals, or being the one in the bed anyway..... I know this is what I want, need....but still anxious. And thirsty....lol. Yup, time to sleep.

Less than 3 hours. Feeling.....everything. :/

Good luck today dreams! Let us know!

Amanda, you can do this! I don't know you but from your posts you seem very strong. Our church is bringing us food and I had to watch my husband eat not only lasagna last night but also huge gooie homemade cinnamon rolls. It was really hard but I just told myself this is a choice I made so that I can really live. Hopefully your doctor will be able to get you some relief today. Keep us posted.

Less than 3 hours. Feeling.....everything. :/
