Our time has finally come where our group can move over from the "pre op" thread. I can't wait to join you in a little over two weeks.

Thinking of you and sending prayers!

Oh no. Praying for you.

Doc ordered labs and ordered me to go to the ER if I see this again. He should have the lab results by morning. I have a feeling I'll be in the ER before then

Oh my....I am praying for you.

Praying for you.....

Hi I had my surgery July 31st. Im 1 week post op today (yay). Taking things one day at a time especially since I have to give myself lovenox shots (I hate these). Anybody else struggle with these shots?

Yes, Yes, yes!! I hated giving myself those shots!!!!!! Was so glad when I gave myself the last one! Doesnt it seem like the preparation for the shot takes longer than the actual shot? The needle is so sharp and goes in the skin painless, but just looking at that gives me the heebie jeebies! Its a good thing I didnt become diabetic. I would have had a problem.

Hi I'm 10 days post op surgery date was 7/29 and everything going fine. I have to admit this soft food phase is driving me crazy. I want some deli meat and low fat cream cheese so bad lol ! I am counting down the days until 8/26 that's when I should be able to eat solid food again.

Any other July folk back to work already? Going well so far but pretty tired by the end of the day.

I went to first dr appointment since July 22. He said that I am doing great and to gradually start eating some foods again!!! That is the best news ever!!!!!

SW - 282 (thought it was 281 but she told me differently today lol) DOS - 274 CW - 256

I have been working since week after. I had to travel for a market. A little tired but good!

How are you doing?

Just went back today to sit in an all day conference. I took walking breaks and did ok. I felt great in the beginning, but I was more than ready to go home towards the end! Now I'm super sore and I think it was from being in the sitting position so much.

How are you doing?

Labs came back better than expected. No more #2's yet, so things are good as far as we can tell! Thanks for asking!
