Happy 40th Birthday kaparamo!

Happy 39th Birthday kaparamo!

I am glad that you are feeling good. I know what you mean about not getting full. I felt so hungry that I was in pain sometimes. But I really feel that the week or so of starvation...lol....helped shrink my stomach. I have been eating real food now and I just chew it too applesauce consistency and I only eat 4 ounces and feel fine. I go June 8th for my first fill....so exciting.

If I could do it over I would take a few extra days off of work. I think you just need those days to chill and sleep when you feel like it. But now I feel absolutely fine. My sunburn is not painful any longer but it still looks nasty because I am peeling now.

Take care and keep me posted. Kristie

I'm still doing good. Did finally have some gas pain on Wednesday and had some pretty uncomfortable moments, but today I'm not really sore, maybe a little around the port, but feeling really good. I was very tired after going back to work Thursday and Friday, would come home and crash for hours!

I am on pureed foods now....I don't really get a full feeling from them, nor do I from liquids...so it's hard to keep from drinking a lot. But I'm not that hungry either, so it's okay.

How's your sunburn?

Oh I am so happy that all is well and you are feeling good. Aren't you glad you are finally done with it?

I am feeling great now. The only problem I have now is a sunburn. But other than that I am awesome. I lost 12 pounds in 10 days and I am totally thrilled with that.

Good luck and I promise the hungry feeling will go away. I hardly feel hungry anymore. Keep me posted as you recover.

I had surgery yesterday morning, and it went great. I pretty much didn't have any gas pain, but I still got and walked around a lot. At first they were telling me I'd be staying the night, but my surgeon came by about 7 p.m. and was impressed I was up walking around, so he said I could go home if I wanted to. It took the nurses forever to get my discharge stuff together, so we left about 10 p.m. I slept pretty good last night because my pain medicine knocks me out, but I woke up with a headache because I slept in one position all night, so I felt all stiff. I've been pretty sleepy all day because of the pain meds, but I figure sine I don't have gas pain it's not too bad that I've been sleeping alot.

Overall, I'm very happy and feel very lucky that I am feeling so good at this point. Wouldn't want to be going anywhere just yet, but I'm able to get up and walk around and use the bathroom whenever I feel like it.

How are you feeling?

You had your surgery today.....good luck. Let me know how you are feeling.

I am a little tired and a lot hungry. Its tough right now because I am eating just thick liquids so nothing really sticks to you. I will be happy when I can eat food and feel some satisfaction. Other than that I feel good. I am really surprised that I felt very little pain or discomfort afterward. The only real discomfort I have felt from the incisions is the one where the port is. Its a weird feeling....almost like you can feel the port moving around under your skin. Its exciting....but its alot of other emotions as well. I normally have good coping mechanisms...so I am doing OK. I am glad I did it and I look forward to the conversation that we will have in a year from now....LOL!!!

Good to hear from you! I'm glad you had your surgery...when I didn't hear anything for a while I got worried! Sounds like you zipped right through surgery with no problems. How are you feeling now?

I got my surgery on May 8th. Today is my first day back at work. It was not so bad. I am surprised at how well it went. I did not experience any of the shoulder pain you may have read about and the gas pains were gone by the bedtime the 1st night. I walked a lot....i swear I left rutts in the tile at my house....LOL. So my delay was the insurance approval. I did not get it until the 1st of May so my surgery was moved to the 8th. So, you have a surgery date....how exciting!!! You will do fine. It really is not as bad as you may think. Good luck and lets keep in touch. Kristie

Hey! Are you still getting your surgery on Friday? I am scheduled for May 18th!

Hey, have you gotten your insurance approval yet?
