New and nervous

Hi I am new here and love all the support I see on this site. However I am very nervous. I have been reading the forums and online articles preparing for my surgery. Ordered shakes, Protein and Vitamins. My friend who had her surgery 8 months ago said I am too prepared. LOL I am not thinking so. I am so nervous today and my gastric bypass is tuesday morning. I am doing this for medical reasons and for the weight. I have severe reflux, hiatel hernia, gallstones sleep apnea and IBS. I am looking forward to feeling better after the recovery from these issues. Any support or suggestions are very much appreciated.

Thanks

Cynthia

I came home yesterday late afternoon. Walking and getting out of bed are tough, plus getting fluids in. I am doing my best to keep moving. I feel better each day and so looking forward to the future.

How are you doing YOYO?

doing well. I had a tough surgery he had to fix the hiatal herna and undo the a nissen surgery I had 20 years ago. I stopped pain meds the next morning and started walking. and they released me Wednesday. the first couple of days hard to get the fluids down. but getting better. hot decaf tea is good. hot soup. and flavored water helps. I am using barbaric advantage protein powder with almond milk 27 gms it helps. and walking.. and your right it gets better every day
