April 2014 pre-op group

[Shelley2014 3]

My surgery is April 28th at 10:30 am. I thought the day would never come! I'm having my procedure at University of Vanderbilt Medical Center in Nashville. It was great to meet the others who are also having their procedures on the 28th at the pre-op appointment - - some of which was done as a group and some privately. Anyway, It did give us a chance to bond!

When I woke up I said, "the surgery was a fluke. I'm hungry!" They had to explain to me that it was head hunger. It's the worse. I just sip my drink.

Hi everyone! i am 6 days post op! i started at 268 i am 246 today. i feel achy and sore, its hard getting p from sitting position but its manageable. im still taking liquid Percocet for pain but instead of every 4 hours i am doing every 7 hours to stretch it out. i am sleeping on the couch w hubby bc i can't lay down yet. i have been walking everyday- i walked an hour yesterday i think i overdid it. any advice or things i should prepare for? lol hope everyone is doing great! sorry i was MIA for a few days- between surgery and my mom had a stroke it has been a long week. any advice???

Wondering what Snacks will be good to keep in the house full time when I can eat solids? And also what is the total amount of food we should eat each meal?? Like 3oz chicken ----oz veggies etc.

I will say I never thought this day would arrive! Tomorrow surgery at Riverside in Columbus. Have to be there at 1:00pm surgery at 3:30pm. I am anxious and trying to not be consumed by my thoughts...

I am so blessed to be able to receive this tool to help improve my life. Making this choice has changed me into someone different and I am glad.

I have became an advocate for my own health and needs. Others around me don't always agree but that's is ok.. I know what I need to obtain my dreams.

Good luck to everyone

I am getting ready to leave the hospital shortly, just showered and got my street clothes on. They have to remove my staples and my iv then I am gone. It has been an awesome stay though. The nurses are fantastic.
