Good luck jenn1818 on Tuesday. There wasn't pain that would make me bed bound. When I woke up after GA i had heavy chest and just wanted to sleep. I had morphine that I controlled myself and that was magic cuz I had no pain the whole time and little discomfort was sorted with morphine click. They kept making sure I comfortable.

So pain not much. Now at home it only feels like indigestion and itching around Steches.

I managed to do my food shopping today and met my friends after school drop off.

Hope this is helpful xx

Back to old me soon

My friend's husband had the surgery in June. He had a great description...he said, "The first day you feel like you've been run over by a mack truck. The next day more like a van and then a mini-van, a sedan a VW bug and a smart car...every day gets a little better. It hurts but less every day.

I have some kind of burning inside - I can never tell if it's hunger, heartburn, gas or what. I had no nausea but I haven't pooped in like 5 days which I'm starting to be a little concerned about. I stopped the pain meds yesterday and seem to be doing fine without them - there is pain but it's not unbearable. I went to the movies last night which was cool.

I'm finding I have emotional fluctuations. I woke up depressed this morning and I'm fighting it but it sucks. I'm not losing any weight but I'm guessing that's partly because of the Constipation but that's depressing too. For some reason I thought I would be back to "normal" faster and I'm chafing at the bit a little.

How's everyone else doing?

I am actually in the hospital right now waiting for my 8a.m. surgery. A little bit nervous. The chaplain came in and he prayed with my husband and me. I feel I am in really good hands. I am sixty years old, this is actually my birthday present to myself. Good luck

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
