In in my bed trying to go to sleep. Surgery went well. I still cant believe I did it. As warned by everyone, the only pain I have is from the gas. I'm tolerating it as best I can but otherwise pain free.

You look beautiful!

Today is my day as well. I'm nervous and really wish they would get things going. The wait is making me nervous.

Today is the day! At the hospital waiting to be called. Blessings and prayers to all sleeved today!

I'd do the happy dance too! Congrats!

Thank you, it's posts like yours that lessen my fears!

I've been wanting to try that, but for the life of me I can't find it. Is there another name for it? And how much protein?

Hi Slenderella, I keep hearing how painful it is to swallow, but I'm curious. What does it feel like and where do you feel the pain, in your throat or stomach area? I'm glad you are doing better. Please continue to let us know how you are doing.

The nurse from my surgeon's office told us to expect pain every now and then from the side the stomach comes out while recovering. She said to use ice pack to help bring swelling and take pain meds. Hope that works. Feel better!

Mine was cancelled from yesterday to possibly the August 14th, if I get better and asthma under control! To think, I was this close to having it done. Oh well things happen for a reason.

what about carnation instant breafast. i like the sugarfree with skim milk = 13g of protein. its actually good considering I couldnt tolerate any f the protein shakes during pre-op i havent had surgery b/c i ended up with bronchitis and surgeon felt it was better to wait. good luck!

Well....today was my surgery that did NOT happen! My husband and I made it to the hospital when BAM, my nerves got the best of me and I started to cough uncontrollably. I knew I had bronchitis but we thought it would be resolved by the time I had surgery. I think my nerves and the bronchitis together caused me to cough so much the anesthesiologist felt I was not ready for the surgery and decided to postpone. I'm ok with this and I firmly believe things happen for a reason. If this surgery is meant to be, it will. I'm meeting with my regular doctor to check on my bronchitis and then get cleared again for surgery next week. So the saga continues!

I'm scheduled for August 1st. But I'm nervous because on Friday I was told I have bronchitis!! I'm on antibiotics and will be done with the z pack the day before surgery. I'm flipping out but praying all will be fine come Wednesday.
