Same with me Kristina. Sat I'm shampooing all the carpets in the house and make sure everything is in order. My dad who is 91 lives with me so I had to line up a cousin to come stay at night with him and make sure he eats while I'm gone... So making up some meals for him to eat while I'm in hospital. Spa appt Friday for hair cut and color. These next few days are going to fly by. I bet Sunday night will drag on and on and on. Lol.

So many of us on the 24th! Awesome! I am on day 3 of Protein Shakes and Clear Liquids. The roughest part is the constant headache. I know monday will be here before I know it. I agree, Sunday will probably drag. My youngest turns 13 tomorrow. Going to take her and 2 friends to Chicago on saturday to go to Shedd Aquarium, that should make saturday go by quickly. I am leaving laundry til sunday to help that day go by...

Omg the headache was horrible I tried to sleep through it but it was almost impossible to fall asleep with a throbbing head! Thanks for reminding me I wanted to borrow my dads shampooer!

Tonight is my second night in the hospital and I am hurting. The built up gas in my belly mixed with the pain of the incisions is very uncomfortable. I haven't been hungry nor thirsty, although I am drinking sips of Water now. I started walking the hallway only 2 hours after surgery. How long before this gas passes? How long before people start to feel better?

For me the gas pains didn't set in until I got home. They lasted about two days. Walking and gas-x strips seemed to help. I remember my first night in the hospital I was in SO much pain, the next day there was a significant improvement. And the day after was a little better as well. I'm 1 week post op now and still have discomfort in my abdomen but I think I may have strained too much.

I hope you have a speedy recovery!

My surgery was Tuesday March 11 and the first couple days were the worse for gas pains. I still had them until Saturday, but they weren't as bad. Once in a while I can feel a bubble rumbling around, but I barely notice and I am a week out. Just keep walking!

I have 4 more days of Protein Shakes, 1 day of clear liquids and then it's surgery day! I'm excited, nervous and making tons of lists for next week. seems like so much to do and so little time. Plus the whole cleaning of the house from floor to ceiling this weekend.

4 days away! liquid diet is going ok. Anyone else feeling super sensitive? Today was rough, felt like everyone had something shitty to say. I don't know if it's just me cause I'm freakin hungry & my hormones feel like they are all over the place? I swear I could cry. I'm usually not a downer.

I'm going to be alone recovery as well, but that's my choice. I have told no one except my two kids , But I prefer to not have people hovering over me Lol. Good luck to us aloners!!

I made that choice also. Only one family member knows, anyone that even "might" be negative I did not tell. I'm guessing I may have to tell my co-worker when I get back to work, since I have to drink every 15 mins. and no solids.

I'm having the gastric bypass on March 26th. It's getting close. I haven't decided if I'm nervous or not. I think I'm more nervous about the years that follow than I am about the surgery itself.

I feel like I am just on edge about everything. I have to keep my mind occupied or I find myself staring in the fridge. I never get anything out, but just stare as if I'll never see food again!
