I too am on my full 4th day post op. I am terribly sore, especially around the incision where my port was put. I am suffering the back aches and am tired, but not having the problem with the fluids, am drinking water and instant breakfasts, slimfasts, etc with no problem. Thought I was going to go back to work tomorrow, but I think I will take another day or two, as it is uncomfortable to sit upright in a chair too long. My husband is an RN and says usually the 4th and 5th day after surgery are the worse so I would try and wait it out till tomorrow to see if you don't feel different, if not then definetly make that call

I can feel all of your excitement, I am only HOURS from my surgery. I need to report to the hospital at noon and my surgery is about 2-3 this afternoon. I thought I wouldn't have to spend the night but due to the fact it is so late in the day I will be staying till eary tomorrow morning. Funny thing is I am not the least bit nervous, but definetly ready to start my journey. I will post how it all went tomorrow.

:thumbup:WELL TODAY IS MY PREOP (4/18) AND I DID WHAT I WAS EXPECTED TO DO. MY DOCTOR SAID I NEEDED TO BE DOWN 10 LBS AND AS OF THIS MORNING I AM DOWN 11LBS. I AM SO EXCITED TO GO FORMALIZE EVERYTHING TODAY, SURGERY IS NEXT WEDNESDAY (4/23). I WILL KEEP EVERYONE POSTED.

Hey I am scheduled a week from tomorrow. Right now working on losing the 10lbs my doctor required by my PreOp Appt this Friday, well 9 down only 1 to go, I should be more than ready by Friday. I will post something next week after my surgery. I am very excited though.

My surgery is scheduled for the 23rd of April and the only thing my doctor required is that I drop 10lbs by my preop date of 18 April. As of today (8 April) I am done 7lbs with 3 more to go in 10 days.:frown:

I am scheduled for 4/23 at Madigan Army Medical Center in Washington. I am really excited. Been trying to drop the 10 lbs my doctor requires before surgery and am only 3 lbs away from that. Been drinkin alot of slim fast and healthy choice soups and going to the gym to do cardio almost daily. :frown:
