Thought I'd start a thread for those that are having their surgery July 26th so we can all vent/compare how we are feeling at each stage of the journey. How is everyone feeling at this point? I keep getting this question: Are you stressed or excited? My answer is both!

Good morning! I was shocked, I got to sleep pretty quickly (midnite by the time I got in bed) and slept well the whole 4 hours I got. Up to get ready, leaving in a half hour. So excited! Good luck today all! We got this! Today is a new start to a healthier us!

So, now that you are home, how are you feeling mentally? I am a little overwhelmed with trying to get all the liquid in, plus the timing of my meds. Other than that my mood is pretty stable. I could care less about food, which is an amazing feeling. Even watching the food commercials doesnt bother me. Anyone feeling sad, scared, anxious, happy or anything else?

Im in a good mood mentally. Super excited to take these baby steps. I feel so swollen tho all in my belly. Finally passing gas today. Tmi...sorry.

Getting liquids in is so tough. And now im gonna miss my ivs. I didnt worry as much in the hospital cuz we were getting hydrated but now....stresses me out. Zero hunger pains. Love that and food doesnt bother me either. My hubby cooked breakfast tacos this morning and the smell gagged me. Lol. Hope that stays that way. That would be awesome if food repels me lol.

Just takin it easy. Want tonstay ahead ofnthe pain. I would say the pain is about a 5 moving ariund but just sitting still or laying in bed is a zero. I feel so grateful and excited!

Sore. Other than that I feel ok. Dr told me not to walk outside because of the heat, so inside it is.

I just got home today. I'm still having some pain and having a hard time keeping water down, so that is my current focus. I just want to feel better.

I feel pretty good today but worse than yesterday. One of my incisions is red and swollen and I have a sharp pain on the left side. Dr. says to take Benedryl and if it gets worse I have to come back in. No problem swallowing and drinking water and protein shake. I'm glad everyone made it through safely. Keep in mind everyday will get better.

Did any of you ladies shower yet? I washed up yesterday, but I really want to shower. Did it hurt ? Did your strips come off?

I showered in the hospital. The strips didn't come off. My Dr. said showers are fine, just no bath.

I showered as soon as I got home, but they did offer it to me in the hosp. I have a surgical glue and that stayed put. Ditto what chacha77 said about baths.
