I just wanted to say GOOD LUCK on your surgery. Take a deep breath, try to relax. Know that we all care about you and are wishing you the best. Think positive, it really does help. After surgery, REMEMBER, turn, cough, take deep breaths, and walk to prevent complications. Hold your incision when you cough, it helps it hurt less. Keep your profile updated, it may make a difference in the live of someone else. Smile, keep your chin up! And lastly, if your chin does fall, just remember, from this position it is easier to moon people! :) (Also, humor helps too!)

Jan, Many warm wishes and prayers are heading your way for an uneventful surgery, a relatively pain-free recovery, and many months of weight loss followed by a lifetime of health and wellness. This surgery has truly been a miracle to me, may it be the same for you. {{{HUGS}}}

Jan, Good luck on your upcoming surgery! I hope it is very uneventful and problem free. I’d like to offer some advice. Please remember to take it slow after surgery. Sleep as much as you can. You’re probably not going to have any energy after surgery; it is your body’s way of adjusting to your new digestive system. Rest when you’re tired. Also, I’m sure you’ve heard about going through a period of morning in regards to food. It may or may not happen, but remember it will only be temporary. About three weeks after surgery I had an appointment with my surgeon and I was REALLY down about not being able to eat and the fact that it hurt when I sipped water. After my appointment I got in my car and looked over and in the car next to me were to people eating Taco Bell. Silly me, I started to cry (and I don’t EVEN like Taco Bell) because I couldn’t eat it even if I wanted to. Then on my very long ride home, I cried every time I passed a fast food restaurant. The next day I was fine. In fact, I always have extra cash on me now that I’m not stopping in for fries or a burger all the time. I hope this advice helps. OH! Don’t worry about getting in all your protein the first couple of days/weeks….the important thing is keeping yourself hydrated – try to drink (sip) as much water as possible. You’ll do fine! Have a safe journey to the losing side! ~J
