So tomorrow at 4:30 in the bloody morning!, I will be heading to the hospital to have my surgery..

Surgery time is scheduled for 7:30 and I have to be there 2 hours early.

I'm nervous and scared, But also excited ready to get it done and over with.

Thankfully my husband took off the week to spend with me, I will be home same day if everything goes well.

My young daughter is staying with her grandparents in Maryland till Wednesday, Miss her already

So everything is ready and set into place, Going to try to make it out today (Or send my husband out since I'll be on laxatives) for a few last minute essentials: Heating pad and Isopure..

I will update here come tomorrow morning when I get to the hospital, Or beforehand if I'm feeling nervous..

P.S. I already have an escape plan set up from the hospital in my head, So if you all don't hear from me tomorrow check the news stations they'll probably be covering the story of the crazy woman from NJ with her butt hanging out of a hospital gown terrorizing the town.

@@angelicHG7, what does NPO mean?

@@angelicHG7, what does NPO mean?

It means nothing by mouth (nil per os)

Nope just tried some jello and water, it came back up.

I hope you are feeling better today I am going to start my pre op on drinks on Thursday.

I can't hold anything down.

is the pain any better?

Hope you are doing better now than earlier. Just a few tidbits. I had to wait in the pre op area for my surgery for FIVE, yes count 'em-5, hours! My surgery time was supposed to be at 10 am, arriving at 8am to get checked in a prepped. Well at the last minute my surgeon's partner had an emergency case that took my booked OR room and I got pushed back. The hardest part? Smelling coffee at the nurse's station and not being allowed any! LOL After surgery I had a very, very hard time waking up. It was early evening before I finally came to and after 10pm before I was coherent. I too was extremely sick to my stomach. In fact, my first memory when I regained consciousness was throwing up lots of blood. (Sorry- TMI) It was gross and totally freaked my visitors out, but that is all there was in the tummy to come up after major surgery - duh. Turns out the pain meds made me sick. They had to give me an anti nausea chaser with each dose of the pain meds. I still felt queasy but it helped keep it in check. I could only manage ice chips until the day I was released. ( Surgery on Monday, released late on Wednesday) I was given some apple juice on Wednesday and only managed about 1/4 of a small plastic cup of it. My initial swelling/ restriction was EXTREME. But as with all good things that ended and now I long for those days again. ( Made the weight loss a lot easier) I tell you all of this to let you know...this too shall pass. ( speaking of passing....the first BM takes a while) I wish you a speedy recovery, lots of success in your weight loss and hugs and kisses from your baby!!! Enjoy the new you!

Tomorrow for me too! And I hafta be there 5:30 as well. Scared but excited and ready to be done

Hey everyone im finally home, Got discharged around 2 today.

Feeling a little better, was sent home with anti nausea meds and pain meds.

Going to camp out in the livingroom tonight in the recliner.

Thanks for all the well wishes and prayers!

I hope this little note finds both Halloweenbaby24 and Dotti doing fine after surgery and well on their way to a speedy recovery and heading home very soon.

Doing a little better today, still in a good amount of pain but at 3 days out its what I expected. The pain/nausea meds are definitely doing their jobs.

No real protein yet, have only been sipping on water managed to get about 25oz in since last night. Found out my tummy preferred room temp water, the cold makes me feel a bit sick and it's harder to get down.
