I have surgery at 8am this morning. I've been waiting for this for so long, and it's finally here! These last few hours can't pass soon enough. Wish me luck...

Hope all is well today! Good luck! I'll be following you with my surgery on Thursday.

So my surgery went very well they said! I was a little worried this morning, because my surgeon was around an hour late. I was so worried that my surgery was going to be postponed til a later date, but he showed up. My stomach is a little sore right now, but I’ve been getting great rest since the surgery, so hopefully that will speed up my recovery. And to everyone still waiting for their surgery date, I wish you the best of luck and the day will be here before you know it!

I am so glad that everything went well! I felt the exact same way! I was not in a lot of pain, I walked around the hospital unit, and I slept a lot. You might have a bit more pain at home because the nurses are not always providing you with medicine; however, it truly is not so terrible. I hope you do not suffer diarrhea like I did. I got it right after the x-ray drink and putting liquids in my belly. It's terrible. I really want to use depends lol. I cannot wait to start solids! Good luck fellow sleever!

Thank you fellow sleever! I can’t wait to start solids either. Thai food sounds sooo good right now...

I am so glad you also have food cravings still!! I think we just miss any form of solid food lololol I really just want a saltine right now or some white rice with soy sauce. It's strange.... btw just letting you know, the clear protein really makes me very gassy! I hate it ugh... I prefer my water and G2

Good to know. I’ll avoid the clear protein drinks. I just want to chew something so bad. My sister was cutting up lettuce and tomatoes the other day, and I swear that lettuce looked so good!

@jacon I had my favorite Thai soup and it did not go well. Severe dumping occurred at work...

Congrats on a successful surgery. Glad all went well. Best of luck on your recovery!!

And @ Jacob I trust you are still doing well,today. Many people say that the 3rd post surgery day is the worst.,Most of your surgery meds has worn off and you start to worry that maybe this wasn't a good idea. But stay strong, there beautiful days ahead for you!

I’m doing great! I’m still sore, but it’s getting less sore every day. My incisions are looking good too.

Glad you are doing well!

Remember that the first little bit postop is the hardest, then you start melting away and it is all worth it!
