Hi Miss Lisa

I am having surgery on August 8th so we are almost on the same date. Sure I would text with you. Of course on your first day after I won't be available.

Hiya! We are in the home stretch eh? Part of me is nervous but part of me is saying can we just do this already please? I want to get on with it, get through it and get healing. Then I can focus on skinny lol. How are you doing? Are you on the liquid diet?

I am doing good...yes I have been on optifast for 2 weeks . Tomorrow it is clear liquids. I am not nervous ...yet!

NayNay209 is having hers on the 6th.

I'm nervous but more numb I think. Before I thought this day was so far away and now I can't believe how fast it got here. You and I have similar stats. If you need a weight loss/surgery buddy I'm here!

Thanks..that would be great.

I'm on the 8th! I can't believe it's almost here! Ahhhhh! :)

It certainly does stir up a lot of emotions.

Hi Lisa, I had my surgery on the 7th and ai was home on the 9th. The first 2 days I could hardly get 2 tsp of anything down but now I can get a little more in and tolerate most of what I've had. I started having massive headaches and felt nauseous + felt like my lungs were closed. I went to emergency but they couldn't find anything and said it was likely to be anxiety or stress related. I woke up and felt ok this morning, more energetic and I drove for about 15 min. The same headache/ nausea symptoms came back and so I took Gravol and went to sleep. They were gone for a bit but now they're back again. Have you had similar symptoms?

Wow that's scary! No, it hasn't happened to me. I'm sorry it took so long for me to respond to you but i didn't see this. I find the setup of this forum very confusing in regards to new posts. Its even worse on my phone. I hope you feel a lot better now! I have caught with nausea since surgery and i still feel lightheaded but don't know why. My followup appt is Friday.
