Woooooo hoooooo!!! I'm about 4 hrs post op and feeling pretty good. Just a little uncomfortable, but no bad pain, as of yet.

Congrats today marks my one week since surgery. I was in and out of sleep that whole day. Get your rest! !

@@TeacherMommy I live in Altoona and work in Ankeny, it's great to have the opportunity to find people nearby to build a support system of people who can relate to what you are experiencing. I will be anxious to hear how you are doing on your journey.

@@TeacherMommy how are you doing? Looking for an update!

I'm hanging in there. It hasnt been 1/2 as bad as I had prepared for. The worst part was the gas, but that passed after a couple days. Now I am just hungry. I go back tomorrow for my one week checkup to talk about nutrition. I'm anxious to start introducing new foods. I'm on day 21 without a "bite" to eat. Have you received your date yet??

@@TeacherMommy I'm so glad to hear you are doing well, I am sure it is very difficult to be on liquids that long, I would be cranky for sure! I go to module 3 tomorrow, then I will get submitted to insurance, so I really hope to have a date soon, it seems like I have been working towards this forever even though it has only been 6 months. I hope you get to progress to the next step soon!

It does take forever... I started the process the beginning of January 14 and had my surgery sept 30th. It's be a journey for sure.

Wow I was knocked out for full 24hrs.. But I also had hiatal hernia and gall bladder removed at same time...

Congrats

After anesthesia wears off stay on top of pain meds

Congrats! I was passed out for almost an entire day lol. When people were talking in my room I kept telling them to go away because I couldn't sleep with their yammering away.

YAY!!!! You can just relax during the holidays... hehehehe Get ALL your Thanksgiving yummies in before you start your two week pre-op, then by Christmas, you'll be able to add a couple fun things.

Congrats!

I am 4 days post op and I actually wonder if we are "hungry". I don't think we are, if we eat some soup, custard or yogurt that feeling goes away. So I think we will all be fine so long as we eat often and small amounts. Our heads are driving our hungry not our tummy's!
