Tomorrow (August 20, 2012) I am having my lap ban surgery. A little nervous. Not so much about the surgery, but my life changes. I have a really close friend that had it done and has done really well. She still has her social life and goes out with friends for parties and suppers. The week before is awful. But I know it will be worth it.. The more support the better it goes. I have met a couple of other fantastic woman having the same surgery. We talk often and it sure does help.
I have to admit it was a rough few days. I am feeling better and getting around more and more with out pain. I am sick of liquid and today ate a few crackers. It felt so good to have something "real" . I just about can't eat anymoe strained soup, jello, pudding etc. I slept in a bed last night. That was awesome. Much better than a recliner! I go for my follow up on the 28th for one week. (surguery was on the 20th) I am excited to see what the DR has to say. Did anyone else eat "real" food the first week of liquids?
