I also had my surgery on the 23rd. The night and early morning were rough. In and out of sleeping, back pain from bed. Being poked with needles for tests, being made to walk and drink. I wish I had a bigger heads up. I'm going better now, pain is under control. But not my hunger! I'm so hungry! Walking good. But not cleared to go home yet sadly. One more night here.

Congrats on your surgery. Sorry to hear that you had such a rough night! I didn't sleep much, I had my surgery done a surgical center instead of a hospital. I only stayed overnight since I would have had to come back in the early AM for IV fluids. I had a reclining chair, the folks with cpap machines got beds. :( Either way it wasn't bad. Thankfully I didn't have any poking me for more blood. I was always asking to get disconnected from the machines so I could walk. I can't stand being idle for too long.

I just had gas pains for the most part until the iv drugs wore off. I'm so glad they warned me beforehand that I was not in fact having a heart attack, it's just gas. Hopefully your hunger will level out for you. I'm not hungry, and I'm glad for it. Every time I drink Water it causes terrible belching and makes me queasy.

So glad you'll be home soon. Best wishes for a smooth recovery. Keep me updated with your progress!

      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!!
