August Bypass Buddies!

[customademe 15]

Hi everyone! I've had a long three year journey to get to this point but I have arrived! I have psych appointment tomorrow, pre-op, physical and anesthesia screening next week and the 8/16 bypass!

Tomorrow I start my liquid diet and I am ready! My surgery is 5 days before my birthday and I consider this the best gift I could give myself.

I have been reading all the posts and although I haven't replied to any, know this, I have cried, laughed and prayed with you and for you.

@@LaDivaDev and @@Dawnie Doo My bypass is scheduled for the 8th too! I'm definitely getting some anxious energy, finding it hard to think about much else but the surgery, but I also feel just a little bit excited for the first time in this whole process, so yay for that, haha

Hey guys! Just checking in! Surgery went well I don't remember much of yesterday I slept most of the day. My biggest discomfort was feeling extremely bloated but luckily no gas pain. Took about 6 walks and I'm feeling great! I really hope this continues. I'm currently still at the hospital sipping on broth waiting to get discharged! I hope all of you are doing well!!

@@Shrinkinqtpi I hope and pray your surgery went well and a speedy recovery! I'm on the countdown!

@@Pink Ninja I'm so glad to hear you are feeling great! I've scheduled another appointment to talk back with my surgeon because I'm so nervous and have thousands of things going through my head! I see him tomorrow. I'm 6 days away!!!

I wish mine was over with already! The surgeon extended my pre-op diet (only Clear Liquids, sugar free, approx. 15 cals/day) for five days. I wasn't expecting to have to do it so long. I'm afraid I am getting grouchy at everyone around me, but I really do feel very hungry and frustrated. Monday can't come soon enough for me. I'm glad to hear those of you who got the op are doing okay on the other side!

All the anxiety and stress just melts away once you're on that table. I don't remember any of it! I do have lots of pain from my period, trapped gas and just the bruised inside feeling but it's getting more manageable. Definitely take walks!

I'm finally home and feeling better worth my drain out. Mostly I just feel like I got kicked in the stomach after an insane workout. My stomach won't tolerate anything cold or room temperature yet, not even Water so it's just been chicken broth! I still can't belive this is real, that this actually happened. I feel likea completely new person at the start ofa new life!

It was kinda funny today. My psychologist said I was really upbeat about the next 13 days. I told her at 10 am I was already tired of liquids but, failure is not an option. We will do this! In a few days we will have made it to the next phase in our lives.

I share your excitement! My surgery is 8/08 and I'm on my liquid diet for 1 week and 2 days now lol I'm praying for us as well. We can do this!
