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.

??????????????????

I pray your surgery goes smoothly. We are all waiting to hear from you.Best of luck

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?
