Hey MassMan!

Congrats! We're surgery buddies! :) LOL @my fellow Protein burgler!

My pre-op process has been semi painless, I haven't had hunger headaches which was my only real concern. So far so good and just three days and a wake up to go once this one is in the can. How about you?

yes.... 4 more days and counting for me. I think I'll miss coffee the most and that headache will be starting probably on Monday and I've set my clock to have that final caffeine injection tomorrow morning. My doctor did say I could start back on coffee after 6-8 weeks... Decaf only. But that's ok. The pre-op plan they have me on is basically low calorie and zero carbs. Then the last couple of days Clear Liquids only. Its not been too bad before since I've tried every diet known to mankind and some of those were a lot worst than what I'm doing now. :)

Just came back from shopping for a few outfits, some VERY loose fitting sweats, tops and shorts to make sure I'm at least fighting the tight clothes. Can't wait to someday wear normal pants and not the stretch waist.. :)

Hope this is a breeze for ya and will be watching to see you're post op posts. Until then its practice sipping, walking and prepping as much as I can.

Hows it going @Erica_B ?

Hope all is well and pain free and making strides. Yours was one day ahead of me... :) Just wondering if you're doing cartwheels yet. :)

So far so good for me and hope you're doing fine

So far so good I guess. I had a hiatal hernia repair and have some pain associated with that - otherwise I feel fine.

No cartwheels just yet - but I'm working on it! :)

How are you feeling?

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
