Cindy you are 10 lbs from your goal weight,awesome job! Madi, hang in there! You got this.

Had my surgery16 hours ago and I feel pretty good! The gas pain from the co2 they pump into you is pretty bad but surgical pain is not that bad. I'm sure it will feel a little worse in a couple days. I have walked quite a bit to get the gas to dissipate and the pain meds help. Still nothing to drink!! But my surgeon doesn't allow water to even touch my lips till later today. With that being said let me get to the things I'm glad I brought and what I wish I brought. So glad I brought my Chapstick, my iPad, and pajama pants. What I wish I brought was my own pillow.

How soon did you go back on HRT after surgery? I have to wait a month. I don't have to worry about my cycle, which I guess is a good thing.

@@Hiraeth, My surgery is tomorrow. I am sooooo nervous, and excited, tired and hungry! I have a lot of family praying for me and my awesome hubby will be with me tomorrow so that helps a lot. When is your surgery?

I am going to have my surgery tomorrow and I was required to come off certain medications two weeks, and one week ago. My HRT was two weeks ago and I am not sleeping well, I am mopey, and my anxiety is through the roof. I can't say the pre-op diet helped any! ( OOOHH why can't I have some fricken chocolate!!! ) Hubby says I look depressed and dazed most of the time. I'm hoping I can go back on my HRT pdq after surgery. Have any of you ladies been on/off HRT? How did it go after surgery? Anyone have to go back on HRT?

Off the the pre-op board.. again.. sorry!

You go girl!! I'm just ending my pre-op diet. I'm a shorty too! I noticed I am breathing better since I've lost 15lbs since I started with the POD. My doctor allowed me to have one small meal a day with two shakes so I didn't feel to bad. AND yes, the whole peeing every 30 mins is annoying! But as everyone else has said on here it's all means to an end. I'm really happy for you and I hope all goes well. Keep us posted!

I was so nervous last night I couldn't even 'eat' my last 'meal'.. I actually had to take a anti-nausea pill. They have actually moved may surgery up 2 hours for tomorrow. I got super excited and then seriously nervous again. I pray yours goes well!!

Thank you! From your tickers it looks like you are doing great. I hope to have that kind of success.

Good Luck to you Lorirene! I keep reminding myself of the same thing.. new chapter.. hopefully more active, spontaneous and enjoyable.

How awesome!

Mine is August 2, day after tomorrow and I am so nervous (and excited). I only had to do 1 week pre-op diet. 2 shakes a day and 1 small meal. I am soooooo tired.

I get to have my surgery August 2 and I am nervous. Anyone else in the same boat?
