Hi All!

I just had my pre-op appointment with my surgeon and I got a date!! August 2, 2016!!

I'm sooo excited! I'm wondering if there are any others having bypass on or around this date?! I need friends!!

I'm finally home and feeling better worth my drain out. Mostly I just feel like I got kicked in the stomach after an insane workout. My stomach won't tolerate anything cold or room temperature yet, not even water so it's just been chicken broth! I still can't belive this is real, that this actually happened. I feel likea completely new person at the start ofa new life!

It's the beginning of a whole new you!

Woohoo @@Pink Ninja

I am doing well too. Walking a bit, taking pain meds and loving ice chips & SF Jello. I expect to spend most of the day at the hospital today and perhaps go home this evening. No gas yet

@ Shrinkinqtpi YAAAAY! I'm excited for you! Keep on rocking! I've been mostly sleeping, waking up every 4 hours or so to sip some water and take a walk. Today I will focus on getting enough fluids in. I hope you get to go home soon!

And to everyone else having surgery today..good luck guys!!

Just finished my pre-admissions testing, definitely feeling the reality nerves now! Glad to have all your support!

@@Tuani I have mine tomorrow! We are both schedule the same day! I am getting super nervous and now it seems the days are going to fast

All the anxiety and stress just melts away once you're on that table. I don't remember any of it! I do have lots of pain from my period, trapped gas and just the bruised inside feeling but it's getting more manageable. Definitely take walks!

The Versed definitely helps with anxiety, too.

Blessed to be home with family. It was a little challenging with our loving doggies (both affectionate pushers and jumpers) but they figured things out fast. My big dog sniffed and started crying in the back of his throat. It is good to be with the hairy and furry family members. Surgery went well. Pain yes - but it is in check. Fluids, fluids, and protein will be the theme for the next few weeks. Woohooo! I've found the loser's bench!

Had my bypass yesterday. Don't remember much but a hard table and cold room. Oh and the anesthesiologist telling me to keep breathing into the mask. At which point I said "I dont want your stupid mask" and then I promptly passed out.

It's never too late, until its too late

Hi everyone, I'm still pre-surg. Going through the pre surgical check ups. Day 2 of liquid diet. I am so hungry! I hope it gets better, because I am not very pleasant to be around right now!

@@Sharyn I hear you! I'm at the end of day 3 of clear liquids, and I'm basically avoiding my entire family so that I don't snap at them. Honestly, I've decided to use this time to try to "feed" myself in other ways. I'm taking long bubble baths, meditating, taking myself out to the movies, getting a pedicure, etc. Since I can't indulge in food, I'm treating myself in other ways. Hope your hunger gets better!

I'm home trying to figure out the perfect sip, sip, sip balance. I now understand the term trying to make it a reality.
