Getting Nervous

[DaniG 54]

My surgery is tomorrow morning at 9. Don't really know what to expect. I'm getting through the clear liquid diet surprisingly well. My starting weight is 365. Can't believe it got this bad. I am so positive about the future and can't wait to get through this.

The night before my surgery i couldn't sleep. I am 32 days out and so wish i would have started this journey to a new and healthier me sooner but so happy i am getting healthy and able to play alot more with my kids already.

You'll do fine. You'll be in some pain when you first wake up don't be shy ask for your pain meds. Don't let the pain get bad ask for them as soon as you start feeling pain again. That's how they control the pain the best. Walk and move as much as possible to get the gas out. I regretted the surgery for the first week. It gets better I promise. Chapstick will be your best friend. Don't rush your recovery I asked to stay in the hospital an extra day. I'm almost 3 weeks out and I still let my husband and kids do almost everything. Smile you're almost there sending prayers and hugs

Thank you both. I'm very excited to start my new life. I have an 18 month old daughter. She is my inspiration. Can't wait until I can keep up with her. Most people I've talked to have told me to make sure I'm up and walking bc the gas is painful. Ill update tomorrow!!

Well I am home!! Feeling pretty great actually! Still trying to get rid of the gas pains. Walking a lot and sipping. Any other suggestions?

[LosingItForMe2011 320]

walking is the best thing for it Dani. Some say gasX works but, I'm not quite sure about that considering the gas is in your abdomin versus in your stomach. Maybe other folks can have some input with that again.

Glad you're home! congrats!

I noticed it hurts worse when I drink fake sugar. Going to limit that.
