#bandy 2 Posted September 12, 2013 I started my pre op today..it was very hard and my head hurt most of the day. I am very stressed right now and its hard to focus on being excited about the surgery. I was like that the first few days also but it gets better. I'm 4 days out from surgery still nervous but physically feeling better. I think it was sugar withdrawals and the drastic change of eating. Good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Daliaha 78 Posted September 12, 2013 Well tomorrow marks a week since I had surgery, and I have to say I am feeling pretty good. Im still tired every now and then, but over all i haven't had any issues. All the stari-strips are gone... and my tummy still looks like it went a few rounds with a boxer, but over all... this was cake. Mmmm cake. Tomorrow I see my Doctor for my postop visit, and im guessing we will move on to mushies.... pureed Soups and smoothies also SF Popsicle have been my meal of choice when I want to eat. I can get a cup of stuff down at a time, just have to remember to eat slow, The burping kills. OMG. Also, it still is sore to take a full breath, expand lungs to full, cause of incisions still healing, and maybe the other stuff that got moved in side during surgery. I have also been sleeping on my side,kinda front since Monday. Found a heated throw worked good for the gas pains,if I wrapped it around my left shoulder, and over my tummy. Ooo and haven't taken any pain meds (or 4 advil at night per my doctor) since Tuesday. I hope you are all doing well, and if you have questions ask=) -Debbi 5 NewMeDebbie, PuraVida37, chasingadream and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
