February 23Rd Surgery Date

I had my surgery on the 23rd. As of today, I am wondering what in the world I have done to myself. I did great on the pre op liquid diet, lost 23lbs. I'm pretty miserable now wondering if I will ever be able to eat again. Reading all the posts have been encouraging. I know it will get better.

Day 3 I felt HORRIBLE too. It got better everyday, and still is. Be VERY good about doing the walking and breathing thing. We had the BEST surgeon, right??? Don't be shy with the pain meds either. I hope tomorrow is better for you.

Yes, we did have the best dr. He and the staff have been awesome. I look forward to the results that I am reading about on here. I am wondering how long people took off from work??

I had the same type of meltdown on Day 4- started crying about what I had done. You will get over that as you start to feel better. These 6 weeks on liquids/pureed and soft foods seem to last forever, but when I look at the numbers on the scale or in the mirror and can see a difference, it makes it worth it! Hang in there!

WEll, I work at home, homeschooling the boys, all the other domestic things....Today is 2 weeks out and it's back to work, but coincidentally, it's the first day i've really felt like I can tackle it all. 2 weeks was a nice time span to be off for me.
