Thank you!!! Just glad to have made it through all this finally. Now I can't wait to heal all the way.

Thank you!!! How is your liquid diet going? Congrats on your upcoming surgery!!! I think there is a couple other people on here having their surgery on the 7th as well. All I can recommend for after surgery is a heating pad and lots of pillows. Let me know how your surgery goes. Hopefully you don't need a hernia repair, because I think that's whats hurting the worst, but I can't really tell. Good luck!!!

How long did your pain last for?

I'm glad to hear your surgery went good and your doing good. I had more pain the day after surgery . How is your progress coming along? Does it feel like your incisions are going to rip open when you walk?

Thank you!!! The pain is better today then yesterday. It's hard to sit up and standing straight I cannot do yet. My sleep is off and on all day and night, usually when I feel pain and take my meds. That's almost always after I get up. I'm am trying to walk around the house as much as I can, but I feels hard to breath and I guess that's from the hernia repair.

Thank You!!! I made it out. Yesterday was a pretty bad day for me as far as pain, but today is getting better.

I had my surgery..YAY!!! I don't remember being in the recovery room or even being taken up to my room. I remember waking up in my room still kind of out of it. I was in surgery for 3 hours. When I did come to I had a lot of pressure and pain in my chest from the hernia repair. My stomach area is real sore, but tolerable with the meds. The worst part is getting up or breathing in deep. I think I have 5 incisions, 1 is more bigger than I thought it would be. The incisions were stitched on the inside and glued on top. I have been feeling real nauseous and can't really drink anything so I have been sucking on ice chips. I have been sleeping a lot. The surgery center I'm at is awesome, they have been making me feel as comfortable as possible. I have this heating pad with hot water in it on my abdomen right now. My husband also gets to stay the night with me which is so wonderful, he is such a big help and I don't feel alone. I'm going to get some more rest now. If anyone had any questions feel free to ask.

Surprising I'm calm and they haven't gave me any meds to calm me down yet. I think taking my Xanax at 11:59 pm helped. I thought I was going to get meds as soon as I got here. Looks like my going home the same day turned into overnight since I'm having a hernia repair

At the hospital getting ready for surgery. Looks like it might be another 50 mins. Hope everything goes well.

Today was all about getting ready for surgery tomorrow and making sure I have all my meds and stuff I will need. I went grocery shopping and stocked up on jello, sugar free Popsicles, broth, and water. I was going to get my protein shake mix, but GNC was closed, oh well I still have some and I will have hubby pic up more. I was still at the same weight today, but my clothes feel loose. I had a really bad asthma attack today which is unusual for me. I also think I have a bladder infection which I don't know how, because I drink so much freakin water. I'm going to have to tell the nurse tomorrow and hopefully they don't cancel my surgery over a bladder infection. I'm excited and ready to get this over with and start my next chapter in my life. I'm off to bed now I will let you know how it goes tomorrow.

Thank You!!! Looks like your surgery is first. I'm so ready to get this done and over to. So cool we are going to have our bands!!! Let me know how your surgery goes.

I hope your surgery went good!!!

Thank you. I'm calm now, but I'm sure it will hit me tomorrow on my way to the hospital. Congrats on your upcoming surgery!!!

Congrats and Best Wishes!!! I have my surgery tomorrow.

Today was a way better day for me. I was on target for my pre op diet and I did some major cleaning to get ready for surgery and we are moving in June or July. My sugar levels have been awesome and I have been off my diabetic meds for a while now. No weight loss or gain and I'm ok with that especially after yesterday. I am really hoping that I will be in the 50's tomorrow, keep my fingers crossed. I didn't think of food today since I was so busy, and moving up and down the stairs and all around the house helped me get in some exercise just for doing what I needed to do. I only took in 400 something calories today, but I think I'm going to drink some broth before bed. Tomorrow I will get ready for my surgery on Wed. Thank you everyone for your support!!!

I will post all about my surgery the same day I have it, that way I don't forget anything from being on the pain meds and sleeping...lol.. I thought I would be more nervous that its only 2 days away, but I'm actually ready to just get it done. Although I'm sure my nerves will hit me on the way to the hospital.
