Anyone having surgery in Oct ?

I'm having my surgery Oct 5th my per op class is Sept 23rd. I'm getting super excited only thing that worries me is missing classes I just enrolled into two classes and they start the 14th I'll be missing 3 classes plus a whole week of surgery. Hoping my teachers will be okay and let me work it out so I don't fall behind or get knocked for missing class.

Hi October family!

I'm up October 19th. I've been feeling so good and confident throughout the 3 week liquid diet, but then today I got this knot in my stomach and this fear that something bad might happen during surgery.

Ron's wife's post scares me. I have a 2 and 4 year old and I just need to be there for them. I keep telling myself it will be ok. It will be okay. It will be okay. It will be okay. Kinda like that. Lol

The posts where people have had successful surgeries and are feeling good- you should know how much your words calm me and make me feel better.

I hope Ron is okay.

Anyway, I'm glad we have this place to share our journeys. Xo

@@anewme2015 Remember that most of these surgeries go off without a hitch. You are in good hands. My heart hurts for Ron and he is in my prayers everyday but I also have so much faith in his will that I believe he is going to conquer every obstacle before him. Just as I believe in you and your ability to meet this head on and begin your new, healthier life! As Ron would say, 'you've got this!!!'

I'm day four post is anyone else just want to eat something small?? I'm supposed to be on a liquid diet for two weeks. And I'm just tired of the protein shakes. Grrr

I feel the same way I'm so tired of protein shakes, but it's a must. Just stay positive that's what I've been doing.

@@Smallfry06 8 day post and feeling the exact same way! The problem for me is tat everything including my medicine has a sweet taste. I just want something savory so bad (anything but broth that is!!). Kev but some lobster bisque soup in the VitaMix last night and I liked the tip of the spoon about three times. It was delicious! !!! But ohhhhhh I paid dearly!!!! Worst gas pains ever...all night..never again!

Got my surgery date - October 26. I wasn't expecting it so soon, but I'm ready! I'm doing a one week pre-op diet and then I'm good to go. I'm excited but overwhelmed. Just moved not too long ago so I gotta get everything around me in order before surgery!
