Hey everyone. So I haven't been keeping up to date on everything that's been posted for the last 3 weeks or so... I was dealing with stress, nerves and a bit of depression related to my own surgery so had to take a step back.

That being said my love and support goes out to all you wonderful people ❤️

What triggered my stress was actually receiving confirmation of my surgery date... got confirmation and realized looking at the calendar it was 3 weeks away! While I knew we were aiming for late June for it to suddenly be coming up was intense.

My surgery is Wed June 26th at 7:00 am!! Feeling much better about it and while still nervous looking forward to getting it done at this point.

Thanks everyone for being so encouraging with sharing your own journey's.

I can relate - I had to back off a while as well to deal with my preparation, recovery, and healing. You do what you need to do - the group will be here!

Also, good luck with your surgery - you've got this!! 🤗

Not a whole lot of nausea. I havent noticed a temp either. As for my heart rate it's a little faster than normal but not much. I called the emergency dr exchange last night and my surgeon happened to be the one on call and said this sometimes happens but to email or call the office today to update them.

I hope you are feeling better today

I’m halfway through purée week- get to move on to soft foods Friday - so excited. I had a lapband revision to DS on 6-7, tuna and chicken salad purée along with cottage cheese have been go to for me this week and all goes down fine. Adding in shakes here and there to hit my 90g Protein goal (plus they count as liquid). Just tried a caramel premier it’s pretty good. No nausea no constipation- if anything it’s the opposite. Mild soreness occasionally but I haven’t used even a Tylenol in a week. full steam ahead!

It IS stressful. I'm glad that you recognized what was happening and gave yourself some time. Hang in there.

She said that it sounds normal so I feel better. She called me in a muscle relaxer and that seemed to help so much more than the pain pills did.

Glad you’re feeling better. One day at a time...

This process is scary and definitely causes a ton of feelings to crop up. It’s ok to take some time to deal with your stress. This will all be ok.
I’m a week out from my surgery and I am still telling myself this everyday...

Hi my name is Jani and I am having my surgery done on June 28th looking for advice, experience and support.

Trying to setup the logistics after getting home can I use the status after the surgery or no?
Do you have any recommendations on how to handle the gas pain that everybody mention to feel after surgery?

Heading to bed now in my hotel room (I’m from Vancouver Canada but having surgery just outside of Seattle). Have to be up at 4 am to take my pre-op meds!
