Surgery in the morning

Hospital called told me to be there by 8:25

Not taking much.

Very nervous and scared but will be ok.

Was in your shoes 1 week ago tonight. Just do what they say, follow all the directions and you will do well. I feel pretty damn good. I had no nausea or severe pain in hospital. Had ice packs for top of stomach area and left shoulder. I think they helped. Use the pain meds they offer you when you are able to have them so you get lots of good rest. I catruthfully say I have not felt hungry all week. Hopefully your doctor has you using Protein Shakes after. A friend of mine was sent home on just fluids with no Protein. He couldn't understand why he was feeling hungry. I am sooooo happy I did this!

Yep the plan is to start two Protein shakes per day as soon as I get home from hospital.

I have a great doc for sure

Good luck!!! I was where you are 7 weeks ago! I've had some tough moments since then, but overall, very happy with my decision.
