I terrified but yet so excited!

Well Marchers my surgery is on Monday and I am sooooo nervous! I'm saddened by the loss of two of our Marchers and I am also terrified that I could be next. I'm sure most of you pre-ops are thinking this too BUT I am doing this and I'm not turning back! Just wanted to say see ya on the other side! Kellie the Bar Keep Monday's the day!

Kellie- Good luck to you...Put all worries in Gods hands. Take time this weekend to relax and clear your mind for the upcoming task. Kiss and hug your family and tell them how much you love them and close your eyes Sunday night to dream of a healthier you. Melissa***ultimate giggler

You will be fine. It is sad about the ones we lost, but in any major surgeries the statistics are there....and one in 200 and some may have obesity related problems too severe to make it. Our group is not passed the statistic phase and EVERYONE else from now to the 31st will be just fine. That is my philosophy. Good luck, I know exactly how you are feeling and actually said aloud to myself laying in bed in the hospital "you did it, it is over!"

I think the P stands for pooper instead of pouch! LOL I have only been home a day, and didn't recognize the signs at first, but I have dumped on Tylenol both liquid and a capsule. And the capsule left a weird feeling in my chest, didn't like it.I have dumped on chocolate pudding from the hospital, made for bariatric patients. I have dumped on either a couple spoonfuls of sugar free applesauce with splenda, or a few spoonfuls of rice baby cereal with skim milk....or both! don't know which. So far the only things that agree with me are cottage cheese plain yogurt ISS whey powder in skim milk water ice chips sugar free jello/plain yogurt mix baby food applesauce. If Sweet P is going to be so Finicky, I am going to be really skinny! Some of the dumping causes diarrhea, some does not, but they all cause my heart to beat faster, so I know it is happening withing about 20 minutes. Please give me your BLANDEST, MILDEST, DUMP-LESS food ideas!

Hi Kellie, I am right there with you in the TERRIFIED stage for Monday. Today was the day from hell. I didn't want to be at work, and was only going into the office to finish a few things that were still hanging around from when I left on Tuesday. WELL, I walked out at 6 p.m., so much for only spending a few hours there. It was a teary miserable day, came home and cried. Mr Mo really has no idea what to do with me when I am this way, 'specially when I can verbalize what is wrong. Just hang on, we 22nd-ers will make it through our trip to Newpouch!!! Hugs, Mo doin' the ALMOST 2 days and a wake up happy Mo dance

Kellie yeah to for both of us...we both have surgery on Monday!!! Hip, hip hooray...March 22nd is going to be a WONDERFUL day!!! Best wishes on your wls. Wendy Ann

Kelly mine is on Tueday. I sooo nervous and excited too. I know this is the right thing to do. I am going to try and relax all weekend. When I think about it, I get really scared

Tuesday here also. I keep thinking of the pain. I hope I can handle it like a lot of you do. Some of you it doesn't even seem like you had surgery days or weeks ago. I pray for all of us to have a safe, and speedy recovery. Will see you all on the losing side soon.... God Bless... Cindy
