Hi All

Well here goes--I am heading out of work today. Got to go buy some decent (comfy) PJ's for the hospital.... Surgery is scheduled for tomorrow morning. I think I've got it all lined up at home for after surgery...

Heating pads to DVD's. Thanks to all for the wonderful support since I started this journey last October...When you hear from me next I'll be banded!!

Hi All-

Back at work today--All in all it went pretty well. I think the worst thing was the barium swallow right after surgery....Used the pain medication directly after surgery and that evening. Honestly didn't feel too bad. I felt like I had been punched several times in the stomach however. On full liquids now and for the rest of the week. Then it's onto pureed for a couple of weeks. My doc has a very conservative post-op diet, but I knew that going in! Have my post op appointment with the doc Friday--I think I was too groggy day of surgery to ask any intelligent questions. I've got my list for him.

Sally, I didn't even get pureed foods for 2 weeks. Of course, I am now finding that I don't like them anyway !!
