I just dont think Im ready to go back, but I know they are ready for me to come back. I get sooooo tired all the time, get the left sided pains, and even still get the nausea at times. UGH, im dreading it BIG time!! I just didnt know what the regular time was to go back. I thought it was 2 weeks, but maybe its not?!?

Hi everyone, had surgery on 9/12 and planning on going back to work Monday, 10/1. Is anyone else feeling like they are not ready to go back? I don't feel like Im ready, so tired all the time and get the left sided pain everyone is talking about. How much time off of work did everyone take?

Hi Everyone, this is cksauve (Kerry) I had surgery on the 12th, so 9 days post op? Sorry I havent posted anything. I weighed in at 207 that morning. The worst of it all for me was the nausea, it was awful! I wanted to cry!! I was like, what have I done, I am not cut out for this!! They let me go on Friday evening, after hanging a 6 hour long IV bag, since my phosphorous was low? I was like what?!? So far so good being home, I just miss food so bad. My husband and boys eat whatever they want and it all looks and smells so good. I know my body wont take it, but i still have to say that I miss it so bad. I just cant wait to be on normal food again. So sick of cream of wheat, broth, jellos, yogurts, strained creamed soups. I cant go to the next phase (pureed) until next Wed, 9/26 and my 40th Birthday is on Tues, 9/25!! Its going to be so hard not to celebrate at my favorite restaurants, eat my favorite foods or have any cake or ice cream. You dont realize how much your life is food until something like this happens and you cant have anything. I just keep thinking ahead of the good life and to meeting all my goals and being thin, healthy, and happier! It helps, but its still hard. I know all my support buddies will understand. It feels good to vent. :wub: Im sooooooooooo very sorry to hear about you Isla, I was thinking of you and Lydia alot that day. I know you have heard it before, but things happen for a reason and you never know if we would have totally lost you that day, ya know? Another day will come and you will be ready and stronger and its going to go great!! Please keep me posted, How is that other buddy, Lydia doing of mine? Thanks to everyone for the prayers and support!! You all are the only people that understand!!

Thinking about the girls that went in today, knowing that I will be tomorrow. Hope your okay and recovering well. I cant believe the day is finally here!! Its like the start of our new lives. Kinda scary and excited at the same time. Im thinking of my surgery buddies too, Isla and Lydia. Im sure you guys are nervous today like me. We are going to do great!!!

I know, what a great 40th Bday present for me, right?

Hi Jessica & Lydia! This is Kerry, (cksauve4) thanks for adding my name to the list. I appreciate it! My surgery is this Wednesday, 9/12 and im sooooo nervous!! The hospital just called and went over my history with them. I guess they will call back tomorrow evening and give me a time to arrive at the hospital. I am the 11am case! I just cant believe its come to this, ya know? But, anything to make me healthy and live a long life with my family. Ive been on this terrible Protein shake (4 a day) and only raw veggies since 8/29 and im sooooooooooooooo ready to be done with it. Im dying for some normal food. Anyways, its good to be a part of this wonderful website and support system. Its great to know we are all going through this together. :wub:

How bout u?
