Surgery tomorrow 5:30 AM

Surgery is tomorrow morning. Im a nervous wreck and I can't figure out if I have everything I need for tomorrow. I am staying a week with my mom since I have a little girl that loves to be carried and cuddle just by me.

Tips to get thru the first week? And when did you guys went back to work. I only have one week off and I'm freaking put its not going to be a lot of time to recover.

Good luck! My surgery is Thursday. Positive thoughts coming your way!

How did surgery go?? Keep us posted!! God Bless..

Good luck to you all. I'm 3 days post op and feel great. Home and resting and drinking fluids. No vomiting. Feel fantastically not hungry at all and ready for my new life to start. So put your nerves and doubts to bed. You're taking good care of your future x

I'm so happy all went well for you.. I'm having such a hard time with my pre-op and haven't been able to stick to it. I was supposed to start it two days ago but keep falling to temptation of food. It's like my brain is freaking out and I'm hungrier than ever. Hope I stick to it as of today.

I did great with the surgery. I was terribly nauseated until this morning. I'm trying to get my fluids and protein in. I had some cream soup for lunch. LOL 4 tiny bites! But it tasted good. My taste buds are freaking out. My incisions don't bother me. Still a little gaseous, but overall good.

I'm on my 3rd day post-op and feeling much better today. I took only 1 week off work as well and seeing how I'm improving each day and today already starting to wonder what the heck to do with myself! - I think one week will be fine for me. Like others have said above, I'll rest when I need to and listen to my body as I go. :) Incisions look great, resting and taking it easy. Lots of gas today so it seems everything is moving along (no pun intended). No nausea here - thank goodness! Just very uncomfortable (borderline painful) to drink fluids. But strained egg flower soup from my family's favorite Chinese take out was awesome last night! ☺️Wonderful to be on the recovery side of things!!! I am so glad to be here, so excited about this new chapter! Hang in there!
