Hello all,

I am new to this so sorry in advance. I just got my date last week and although I have been anxiously waiting for this I think I am getting nervous. As I read about the pre-op and post-op liquid diet.... That is what makes me nervous. I don't think I will have a problem eating healthy after all this liquid stuff. I was just reading some post and one of them referred to the shakes as liquid poop. EEEEWW! Is anyone else having a case of the nervous nelly's?

Good luck 15th'rs! I hope to hear from all of you tomorrow with wonderful updates! You are all in my prayers.

So all you 15thers. . . anyone out there ready to talk about it yet? Pretty rough, huh? I may sit down later today and type out all the details to share with everyone. I'll be interested in seeing how our stories compare.

Rough is a under statement. Do I have to do a 5K to get rid of all of this gas? I knew I would have some discomfort but call me nieve (sp). I had 3 children I figured it couldn't be much worse than that SILLY me!!! What are ya'll going through and what else can I do to ease the discomfort?

Mellimel,

This is the third time I have tried to respond. Something keeps kicking me out and erasing my message. This time I'll be more brief--just in case it happens again. I'm not having a problem with gas, but I am weak and hungry and pretty darn miserable. I had read that a lot of people deal with depression post op, but I thought it wouldn't happen to me. I thinking maybe it has. I'm gonna spend some time reading some posts and try to get reinspired. Let's hang in there.

I am pretty weak too. I usually get tired after walking a short distance and I have to sit and rest for a minute. I have been reading probably more post now to see if people have experience what I am feeling than I ever did before surgery. Don't get to down on things keep in mind this was your first step to a new healthier you. Feel free to send me a private message and we can exchange email addresses. You may also want to contact the Person who did your psych eval. I know mine told me to give her a call if ever I needed anything. Hope to hear from you soon.

Oh my goodness the gas is going to kill me I think.. ugh. I've been pretty active though moving around chasing after my 3 kids two of which are toddlers, so being able to actually recoup is non existent once I came home from the hospital. Not to horribly hungry though which is a good thing. I have done so much around the house though that I am hurting now. Especially my low back, anyone else like that?:thumbup:

Hey Bellingham.... Had mine done in Vancouver on 16th and just recovering..... sitting and standing very gingerly... had a great surgeion in Dr. Woodhead and he also repaired a hiatus hernia he discovered when he was in there so I got a two for one! I am very happy - almost bllisful.... cannot wait for results...but, I am 60 so I amgoing at my ownpace. See like at lot of us being done this week. good luck to us all! Kathy

Hello all just checking in to see how ya'll are doing. How is the post surgery diet going for all. Am I the only one that still seems to be filled with enough gas to take out a small town? ROFL
