My surgery was moved up from the 26th to the 24th. I'm doing this alone - taking a bus to the hospital and being picked up by my husband 3 days later.

Anyone else out there have this date??

ME! I'm having gastric bypass on May 24th also! The jitters are starting to kick in.

Yay! My jitters are being weird. It's like they're defective lol. I'm more disappointed in feeling like this is my last hope and knowing I'll be doing it on my own. Not nervous about surgery yet. Though I am anxious to get on my way.

I had mine on May 8th but I'd still love to be buddies!

How is everyone feeling now? I took a dose of pain meds for the first time since the day I came home from surgery last night. I very much over did my walking and chores yesterday and couldn't get comfortable last night. I also had my first experience with dumping by eating two baby spoon bites of sf jello congealed in sf gelatin pudding. It was odd and I think I might have just not chewed well enough. Took a good hour and a half to get out of bed after the start of dumping put me there. Now I want nothing to do with that jello even though it was most likely my fault lol

Today was my first day withOUT prescription pain meds. Had 1000 mg of Tylenol this afternoon because my incisions have become really sore, and for the gas pain. Saturday -Monday were hell. I was sooooooooooo HUNGRY. Yet, I could not drink protein shakes without feeling bloated and on the verge of throwing up from fullness. I'm on a full liquid diet....but yesterday was my breaking point. I bought some chicken salad and pureed it in a food processor. Two tablespoons later and I felt so sated. Im back to protein shakes and water today but there's comfort in knowing i can lick a little chicken salad puree off a spoon and feel semi-normal again. My energy level increased significantly too. I return to work on Monday, but I worked a few hours on a project I needed to turn in by the 31st. Now that it's completely, I feel less stressed to 'feel better'.

I can't wait to be able to EAT again. Mainly, because of the social aspect. My manager's last day in my department was today, and there was a 'goodbye dinner'. I didn't go, obviously. I'm sad that I missed it. Also, I really miss meeting my mom and friends for lunch or dinner. Starting to get cabin fever from being in this house from Thurs-now. It's gotten to the point where I'm almost looking forward to returning to work. lol
