August 2013 Roll Call

[pjknitts 47]

You're not allowed anything to drink for the first day and your lips do get a but dry. I found myself rinsing out my mouth with Water to wet it' date=' and then applying Chapstick to keep from feeling so dry (well EOS in my case since Chapstick with its menthol is really not good dr you, but you get the point).[/quote']

Oh good point! Glad I asked that's going on my packing list for this week!! Thank you

Today is my first day post-op and really I am totally ready to leave. Wish we could have been back in our own comfy home and bed. But since I'm barely able to drink Water without it feeling "weird" it's probably good to be here and be allowed to ease into things.

I too wondered if we'd need care taking, but really we don't. We are up and about, walking, getting things for ourselves etc. I've been in much worse shape with just a fever than I am now with respect to taking care of myself. If you want to have someone come visit for a few hours just for the company, go for it, but you won't really need anything you can't get for yourself.

I'm glad you two are doing so well ! Thank you for your insight, I feel better now. I'm going to a dedicated facility that specializes in weight loss surgery and I heard my surgeon is one of the best. I just didn't know what to expect so thanks again. I heard that rocking in a rocking chair even helps with getting the gas out. Please check in tomorrow so we know how you guys are doing! hugs xxx Jeanie

Looked at my surgery countdown earlier. I can't believe in just over 3 weeks (the 27th) that I'm having surgery. Eeeek. I went low carb today, start pre op diet on the 17th. I just wanted a jump start on things. Absolutely can't wait. I am excited, nervous, and terrified all at once.

Good luck

Thank You

One more thing I wish I'd brought was a trial size bottle of mild mouthwash. Where it's the ketosis or just generally surgery blahs, I could have used a mouth freshner from time to time.
