So I had my preop stuff done today (labs, ekg, and nutrition consult). I'm officially down 16 pounds from 22 days of preop diet and am ready to roll for surgery tomorrow!!! Super antsy and want it to be done!!!! The hotel and staff are amazing and their chicken broth is unbelievably yummy!!! Now I get to busy myself with some shopping!

Good Luck! Hope it all goes smoothly!

best of luck to you!!!

Good luck!

Good luck! Hope you have an uncomplicated recovery.

You totally have this! I was in your spot a couple days ago. I'm so thrilled already with my decision, so proud of myself. You will be too. Getting to this point is the hardest part. Best of luck!

Thanks everyone!!

Hey... How did it go? Mine is tomorrow!!! Nervous but ready!

It really hasn't been bad. I was the first one for today and I've been up walking and sipping water and juice. I did vomit twice after both times they gave me IV pain medicine. It was just toradol not even a narcotic I'm a really weenie with meds though. My throat is sore from tube but nothing bad and one incision is a little sore but still not bad. Oh and didn't have to have a grain. All is easy peasy so far!

How's everything going? I am 10 days out and getting antsy!

I'm scheduled for 1/30...Charlotte, NC Dr. Carl Lowe...I'm excited and nervous at the same time..i am believing and Trusting God for a super natural recovery for myself and all my BP family

I'm having surgery Wednesday and am very excited. Can't talk about it because no one around me understands how I'm feeling.

We all do Michelle. Good luck

I've got crazy hiccups now. That's a little on ouchy side for sure! I didn't keep it a secret from anyone but I definitely had people telling me not to do it. Just diet and exercise more. Those people obviously didn't understand me. I would tell them I am doing it because it's the best choice for me and I'm happy that that is what works for them.

10 days out, I'm 4 days out and feeling that way too!

Very excited but wow! I feel like I need to be surrounded by it right now but don't know anyone.

Besides Water and Protein shakes, I don't really have anything else for post-op. Was told to know what I like but to get very little since we don't know what my body will handle.

How are you preparing for post op first two weeks?
