I have to be there tomorrow at 5:15. Surgery scheduled for 7:00. I can't believe it is finally here. I love the roller coaster analogy. Good luck and God bless you all. Pen

So all you 15thers. . . anyone out there ready to talk about it yet? Pretty rough, huh? I may sit down later today and type out all the details to share with everyone. I'll be interested in seeing how our stories compare.

Rough is a under statement. Do I have to do a 5K to get rid of all of this gas? I knew I would have some discomfort but call me nieve (sp). I had 3 children I figured it couldn't be much worse than that SILLY me!!! What are ya'll going through and what else can I do to ease the discomfort?

Mellimel,

This is the third time I have tried to respond. Something keeps kicking me out and erasing my message. This time I'll be more brief--just in case it happens again. I'm not having a problem with gas, but I am weak and hungry and pretty darn miserable. I had read that a lot of people deal with depression post op, but I thought it wouldn't happen to me. I thinking maybe it has. I'm gonna spend some time reading some posts and try to get reinspired. Let's hang in there.

I am pretty weak too. I usually get tired after walking a short distance and I have to sit and rest for a minute. I have been reading probably more post now to see if people have experience what I am feeling than I ever did before surgery. Don't get to down on things keep in mind this was your first step to a new healthier you. Feel free to send me a private message and we can exchange email addresses. You may also want to contact the Person who did your psych eval. I know mine told me to give her a call if ever I needed anything. Hope to hear from you soon.

Oh my goodness the gas is going to kill me I think.. ugh. I've been pretty active though moving around chasing after my 3 kids two of which are toddlers, so being able to actually recoup is non existent once I came home from the hospital. Not to horribly hungry though which is a good thing. I have done so much around the house though that I am hurting now. Especially my low back, anyone else like that?:thumbup:

Hello all just checking in to see how ya'll are doing. How is the post surgery diet going for all. Am I the only one that still seems to be filled with enough gas to take out a small town? ROFL
