Thanks all. I'm sure it will pass.

I am a week post op and most days this week I have felt good about the decision despite pain, discomfort and some head hunger. Today, anxiety smacked me in the face and I thought, what the **** did I just do?? I honestly know this is a great decision, and I am recovering well, but I can't help today to just be freaked out about just having most of a healthy major organ cut out of my body. Anyone else? Words of wisdom?

I have a desk job and took two weeks. It feels like it will be plenty.

Nice Nikki! Wish I had known that last week. Great share! -
Did you change your name? Was confused a minute[emoji4]. Glad you're perking up! Today was by far my best so far, feeling wise. Still didn't hit fluid or protein goals, but it will come. Onward!!

I had surgery at 9 am Tuesday and went home about 6 pm Wednesday. Glad I stayed over honestly and yes, the chest pain/pressure was the worst for me! It will get better in a couple days- promise! -
2 Days Out - feeling pretty awful

I didn't expect the calls NJ12. I asked today if they call everyone or if they suspected a problem... lol. They call everyone. I was a bit paranoid for a minute. I'm sorry your office doesn't reach out! -
Spuds, how are you doing?

Good luck today lee! Let us know how your feeling!

Woke up today feeling great! Hope everyone is successful on fluid and protein goals today. I still haven't met goals on either, but surgeon calls daily and said I'm doing just fine. Sip, sip, sip! -

My tiny tummy loves warm soup. Better than cold stuff even.

Probably the same doc? This one came to Dayton from south, I believe. I have been working with the local office for 7+months and just had surgery this week. Sorry to hear the upheaval from your journey! -

I just had vsg with Dr Northup 2/7 in Dayton. Would love to meet people in the area who are in this journey also! -

My surgery was 2/7 and I have been struggling with spasms, chest pressure, doubts, and regrets. Each day has been a tiny bit better, so just looking forward to a crew weeks down the road at this point. Good luck to you! -
I had surgery the same date. Have struggled a bit as well. Everything tastes different! Not in a good way. I have been using mixers and drinking Powerade zero for fluids. Doesn't taste good, but have to choke it down. I think the taste change will change again in time.
