I have to be at the hospital at 6am on Monday! I'm kind of glad it's approaching, last couple of days I have been kind of hungry

[ShineBright724 70]

Woohoo! I'll be thinking of you all when I show up at 5am

I'm lucky and don't have to be there until 9:30 but I have an hour and a half drive to the hospital.

Awesome. It will be cool to know there are others in my shoes at the exact moment, I will think of you guys and for a speedy recovery. I have been less hungry than when I started but the craving for meat is hard. I just want to eat big chunks of meat. Weird since I spent my childhood as a vegetarian.

You all will be amazed after surgery. Been home for 24 hours, watching the food channel, looks good but not hungry, no craving, no head hunger and I've lost two pounds since weigh in on surgery day. Didn't gain a thing from all the liquid they hung. Good luck to all of you. Wishing you all a speedy recovery.

Congrats! That is great!

Thank you, they couldn't believe how well I was doing. Never complained, used the call button twice, but they were checking on me every two hours. Thank goodness the pain med, which I used about every two hours, I would wake up just before the nurses would come in. I walked, they didn't even push me to get out of bed, it was when I was ready. Walked the hall twice and sit in a chair until I thought I would upchuck, first call button. Second time down the hall the next day, all was great. Doctor said everything was great and I went from him telling I'd be in the hospital two to three days to release in less than 24 hours after surgery. Not bad for an old chicken. Yesterday was pretty painful, but did some bending to pick things up, but I tolerated it. Will say I am taking my pain meds, which even after lapband I only used for two days. Good side of this revision was I didn't have very much scar tissue from the lapband. Someone above was on my side. Since I have CHF they had a little trouble controlling my blood pressure, but even ended up one DC'd, plus all my cholesterol medications, and metformin. I am taking 1/2 unit of insulin per hour (I have an insulin pump) and my blood sugars are within normal range. This is a shocker also because when the body is under stress like this you don't have to eat and the blood sugars sky rocket. So think this is going to accomplish what needs to be done and hopefully will live to be a hundred. Thank you all for the suppoprt.

How is everyone who had surgery on the 4th ? I feel really good but its hard getting in all my fluids!

[Amanda R 56]

Just realized...today will be my last Protein Shake for two weeks. My doc requires only Clear Liquids and no shakes for one day before surgery and two weeks after.
