How are you guys doing? Any of you already have surgery how do you feel?

I'm going in for surgery at 1130 tomorrow morning. So nervous but excited! I feel like my emotions are all over today. Excited to hear how everyone else is doing!

Thank you Foodfighter!

Surgery was good! Post op was painful, it's a major surgery, lots of gas pain. And the leak test X-rays was hard, but I think it's getting better, kept my liquid down today. And passing gas has been a great thing ( tmi ) also I have a very loose stool that looks like a baby first stool.

Good to hear from you Foodfighter! I had my surgery a week ago. I was doing great, discharged after 2 nights, got home and 2 hours later spiked a fever....back to the ER. I developed a post op abscess, now I have an open wound that my sister in law comes daily to do a dressing change. That's no fun, but is stable.

My life is an experiment these days LOL I don't think I can drink ice cold Water, or have popsicles, so sad. Seems just today I get horrible abdominal pain when I drink ice cold water or when I had a popsicle. Thank you for checking back in!

Ronii99123 I am in the same boat as you and can not get any help!!! I want to post my own question and things.

[Sam58 16]

I am new at this and can not figure out how to post my own question or anything???? I am having RNY 3/30. I am on my 2nd day of liquid pre-op diet. Consist of; carnation instant Breakfast SF 4 per day, 1cup of skim milk, 2 cups of SF Jello or 2 SF Popsicles and Water. I feel weak and sad????I have been tearful and very cold all day!!!

To foodfighter. My GB was 3/16 as well. How are you doing? I hopefully go home today from hospital. I am already sick of Isopure, chic broth and tea. I am taking day by day and looking forward to next Mon when I can start Protein Shakes. Best of luck

Sam. Just take it day by day. When I was on the 2 wk liquid diet I thought I would die. I was starving all the time. But now that that part is over and I survived I can look back on it and understand it was necessary. This is your journey and need to experienced step by step. You WILL get thru it I promise you. Good thing is I lost 14 lbs in the weeks prior to surgery when on liquid diet. So hang in there.

How are you guys doing? Any of you already have surgery how do you feel?

I had surgery 2/2/15 I feel fantastic down 25ish pounds. * I don't weight all the time)

I had my bypass Monday the 16th and ended up with a hernia repair as well. Surgery went well, but my bladder had a really hard time waking up. I really didn't want to spend 2 nights, those nurses bug you all night long. I know they are just doing their job but I couldn't get more than 1hr of sleep at a time.

Surgery was at 8am and I went home at 2pm the next day. Problem is now I have insomnia!!!! I'm all comfy in a recliner that can go as far back as a bed but I'm up every few hours.

Congrats to everyone else that has had surgery or is scheduled this month.

Hi! I had my surgery (bypass) on Monday 9th. I had my stitches taken out today. The post-op is going really well so I'm happy.

Good luck and congratulations to everyone! This is the best decision ever!
