November buddies where are you?

[mazzers120 75]

Questions' date=' I have questions. Not about the pre surgery diet or anything like that, but our Facebook group. Can our regular Facebook friends see our posts. I am hesitating saying anything there till I find out. I have some real life friends who are "Negative Nellies" and I don't need negativity before surgery. Lovely people but have a hard time saying encouraging words.Let me know if what I post or responses to your posts are private please.

Nope, it's a private group so they cant see it

Day 3 post op . It does get easier as you go. Having a hard time drinking cold Water. Gas pain is gone for the most part, but very sore. Taking a lot less pain medication. Glad to be home and clean!!! Walking a lot, trying to drink a lot and sipping, sipping, sipping.

Having trouble figuring out being full but getting better at it. Overall it is a lot easier than I thought it was going to be.

Me too, Chris, it's like having a new baby at home. I think I'm going to bed, Tommy the Tummy decides he's hungry. Whaaaaaaa! He doesnt eat a lot, but when he's hungry, he makes it very clear. Did you name yours yet?

Today is my 5th day. Im pretty much feeling great. Nausea is gone, havent been on pain meds since the hospital. I have had some dreams of food though and it was a lil hard going to the movies and not eating popcorn. But I feel so good that I did this! I have lost 7 pounds since surgery. I hope everyone from 11/4 is doing good as well!

I had surgery on the 6th. I wasn't nervous until they rolled me into the surgery room. Then I was only awake for maybe 3 min and the next thing I know I was in recovery in quite a bit of pain. After the got my morphine pca hooked up I was good. I got to go home the next day because I was doing so well. Very little nausea and good pain control and oral intake. Today I feel achy all over and have an aversion to most food. I can only drink Water, Protein Shakes and Popsicles. It hurts if I drink more than a tiny sip. The worst part has been the liquid pain meds. I nearly throw up every time I take it. No regrets so far. I would do it again tomorrow if I had to.

I'm on day 3 of my two week pre-op diet and it's so tough!! It's not liquid only - but it's super low carb, super high Protein. I went to the grocery store to get some things for my husband and son - boy was THAT a mistake. Never have I felt so tempted!! But I've been doing REALLY well and sticking to the diet. I'm only down a few pounds since the first day of the diet. They said that if, on surgery day, you "maintain or gain weight", the surgery is cancelled. So that's been a huge incentive right there!

But I will admit to sniffing the cheesebread sticks from pizza hut my husband got.

Just a sniff!

I'm getting sleeved Nov 21 in Grand Rapids, MI. Anyone else a GHP patient here?
