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.

    I wanted to share something I find sweet- I've been divorced a bit and have never had trouble w/ dating. But..after ending a long term r-ship last winter I've not dated much at all waiting for this j

  • Hello all, I hope you all had successful surgeries and are well on your way to your goals and dreams. You guys have made me cry with your kindness and my wife has been very thankful for the support

Just got home. I'm glad to be on my couch curled up in a warm blanket. My puppy is sure mad at me, he wants nothing to do with me at the moment. Haha. Good luck and a speedy recovery for those who are having surgery tomorrow or who just had surgery.

@@kvoneye, Yay! Enjoy!

@@irishaggie LOL I know exactly what you mean. I have equated this with pregnancy at times too. Even holding my stomach because of the gas pains.

Well I just had my first non protein drink meal.. Kevin made me get out and go to the grocery with him. While there I found LaMadeline to motor basil soup in a jar. OMG . I finally felt my "full" . I never thought I would. About ounces did it. I am so excited..I now know what my full feels like. And it feels great!![/quote

@edie91372 That is awesome! I have that same soup in my pantry right now, lol! I'm also loving the pintos and cheese from Taco Bell :) not what I will eat all the time, but I am just trying to get through this first month, lol :)

I'm so glad your first full feeling was positive. I had my first full feeling last Sunday but it quickly shifted to over full and I felt sick to my stomache for over an hour. Now when I get close to full I stop and wait to see if my body needs to catch up and tell me I'm full. At this point satisfied is a way better feeling than overfilled lol.

@@irishaggie my diet list says no milk til next week...

mine probably days that too, lol, I'm just a big milk drinker (now LOVING Fairlife white milk) and started having some a couple days ago... So happy I can still tolerate it!

I've been drinking chocolate milk since day one. The elixir they gave me for pain is enough to make a person puke along with the liquid prilocec. I finally told the dr no way to both. Pain isn't too bad and the prilocec I have, I just break a part and mix with orange yogurt.

@@kimvox66 Have you tried MiraLax?

My Doc told me to use Milk Of Mag. Needless to say, it isn't working. Not sure where to go from here, although I'm not terribly uncomfortable or bloated or anything. I guess I'll just keep walking, watering and hope that it will eventually kick in.

@@irishaggie pinto and cheese? Is that a soup? If so we have to find that! Which grocery did you get it at? I am so sick of sweet (never thought those words would come out of my mouth!!). All I want is savory...beany....meaty!!!!

You get it at Taco Bell! It is really just refried beans with some cheese on top. It is served in a small container, so the size is not overwhelming, either. I know I can make the same at home, but somehow it is better when someone else makes it and it feels like a special treat :)

@@irishaggie & @@edie091371 You guys are making me hungry!!! My doctor won't let me have soft food until after Wed when I see him ;-( Getting tired of the protein drinks & broth! I think when we leave the dr's office were heading for taco bell for the refried beans! Has anyone tried guacamole? & how soon to be able to eat?
