Re: 10 days and counting.......

Hi Carmen, it is really up to you. Don't push yourself too hard because you'll

just land yourself back into bed. Take it easy. Recovery is different for

everyone. Again, it depends on you. Mine was going great until I had to move.

Then I set myself back a couple of days. I am finally getting back into the

grove of things again. They want you to walk and being an RN you will get plenty

of that. As far as after the surgery, you will be sipping and walking

continueously. Depending upon your surgeon, will make the difference on how fast

you will be moving on foods. Through this group I see that it varies with

everyone. Best Wishes, I hope this helped a little.

Hi...I'm Carmen, I live in SC. I've posted a couple of times and

really appreciate all the great responses and advice. You've helped me

to make my decision and to feel confident going into surgery. Being an

RN, I see the best and the worst. Ignorance is bliss,,,that's what my

surgeon says anyways. I guess better to be " informed " when going into

this major decision. I do have a couple more questions though.

I started the 10 day pre op diet today which is really just a couple

of protein shakes and very low fat low carb meals. I'm worried that I

won't understand what to do afterwards. Guess I better reread the info

I got at the class. How long would you say the average recovery is? I

would like to get back to work and life as soon as possible. Thanks

sooo much, Carmen
