    Tomorrow is my day

    Don't worry...the surgery really is a breeze. I had very minimul pain after surgery and was up walking around within the hour. I did sleep in the recliner the first night and back to my bed the second night. My best advice is to walk, walk and walk. I think because I did this pretty much every couple of hours my healing was quick and quite painless. Best of luck..you will be fine.

    2 days until surgery

    Hi- I was freaking out on Friday prior to going into the OR room. However, within 30 minutes it was done and I was in recovery. I also had a moment in recovery where I said to myself "what the @!#@ did I just do to myself". This has all now passed. I'm 2 days out and felling a bit sore, but overall great. I'm excited to begin this new chapter in my life. Just remember the worst part is what we build up in our heads....it is not bad at all. Best of luck to you!!

    banded yesterday have gas ????

    Hi, I have had the burping sensation, but no hiccups yet. I do feel like if I let off one good burb it would ease the pressure. :thumbup:

    banded yesterday have gas ????

    Hi, I was banded yesterday too. I find that walking is the best thing to keep things moving. About every 2 hours or so I get up and do a couple of laps around my backyard. Is working like a charm. Good luck.

    Getting ready for 4-30-10!!

    Well, 6 days and counting till my surgery (4-30-10). Liquid diet has not been that bad, but still craving. Every time this happens I just down another yummy chocolate shake. (I have to tell myself they are yummy :biggrin:). This weekend I also, said my goodbyes to my favorites and it went something like this; Dear Cookie: Thanks for always being there, but I need to say goodbye. Dear Bread: You are so tasty with butter, but quite frankly you have made my thighs look like butter. Good ridden! Dear Popcorn: Oh how I will miss you the most. We have had such good times together. Remember that time at the movies or that time you got me through the heartache of the one I thought was the one. Well, my friend it's been good but our relationship must end now. Besides, you get stuck in my teeth! In addition, I have started to make nice with my new friends; exercise, lean meats and chewing, chewing, chewing. Can't wait to see what the rest of my journey has to offer :confused:

    I think I'm ready....

    Am I really going to do this? In just 11 days I will be going in for elective surgery. I'm starting to think I might be nuts. I only had my first appt. a week ago and suddenly I'm scheduled for surgery. I think this is the right thing to do and I know I need to do something, but geez so fast! Will be starting the liquid diet on Friday. Think I might start today just to get in the practice of not eating as much. Well, down the hatch to my first liquid shake. Surgery Date: 4-30-10
