Hi everyone!

Just came back from doctor's office and have a October 28th surgery date for Gastric Bypass. This is it, the high diving platform. Knees are trembling.

Anyone else in October? Let's keep in touch as we support each other. We have the pre-op diet and getting mentally ready for this.

LET'S DO IT!

Tonight purée test. I made tuna helper for my kids and ran some through the my babyfood maker for me.

lol look at u

Tomorrow marks my 4 weeks post op. I get to have soft solid foods! I go to work next Monday. Pretty nervous about that since I have to be able to lift 50 lbs.

wow my soft solid food starts 2week post op this surgeons are really different in a lot of was lol

I'm at 2 weeks post op I'm on soft foods.

About to leave for the hospital. Surgery is scheduled for 7. If it wasn't real before, it is now.

It's real once you get that gown on cause it's a lot harder to runaway while having it on ????

That is true.

I had my surgery Monday, Oct. 27th and other than pulling my IV out the second day, everything has gone as smoothly as it possibly could! I feel VERY Blessed that I've had NO nausea, am able to get my fluids in and was able to go home yesterday. I feel almost perfectly normal except for the annoying drain that I keep having to change the bandaging on but that's normal they say and should stop soon. I'm even contemplating going back to work Monday. I have a job where I can do some light duty stuff until I'm ready to return to my regular job. I pray everyone is having as smooth a transition as I am...BUT...the doc told me to not get 'too comfortable'....I DID just have major surgery and things can crop up days later (like some minor pain or nausea). I'm just grateful to be doing so well Thanks for all the well wishes!! I've actually gained 3 pounds but I think it's from all the fluids in the hospital. I can't wait til things settle in and I can see where I really am

@@GFord889 Congrats for doing so well!! If you have the option and can afford to stay home for at least a full week do it.

I've known folks 6 days out who suddenly have an issue maybe it pain maybe it's trouble getting the liquid in. Just give yourself the time it was major surgery............ And if you decide & when you go back have a plan to get your liquids & protein in no matter what. Ok! All the Best!

Hi guys! Finally getting to check in. Surgery went good slept all day yesterday afterwards. Today i was able to walk a.little farther than to the bathroom and back but due to vomiting and dizziness thanks diludid.. haven been able to much but sleep. Held down 3 sips of beef broth and a little cranberry juice so im feeling better. Good luck to all who are scheduled tomorrow and today!

So... Some with the surgery. Have some pain, not a lot. Back in the hotel and hopefully going to enjoy a night of sleep, but unlikely. A little irritated that no one mentioned no kids in the room. So basically I was all by myself all day, but at least I slept a lot.

My surgery date is October 28th and I should be home for Halloween!

my date was also the 28th how did you make out?

I'm going in to have surgery tomorrow and was wondering where you had surgery. I'm am Army wife too and where I'm going (Riverside) they won't allow my kids to visit me.

yes it seemed they started that with this enterovirus outbreak.

I had it in Birmingham. The nurse at the end was rude and told me I should have asked. We don't live in Birmingham and don't have any closer friends. It frustrated me because I told them I was Breastfeeding. They could have said, make sure you bring a pump because kids aren't allowed. The surgeon didn't mention it either.

I guess that makes sense but none of my children are school age.
