Liquid Pre-opt Diet - Day 5

I am having broth, so far really doing much better than what I expected on the shakes, I am amazed. only lost 6 lbs though.. hang in there,,, i have a crowd of kids coming over the weeknd so i can be sooo busy and maybe active to keep me from thinking about next week... monday pre-op thurs BAND.. good luck

I was expected recovery to be worse than it actually was. I was sore, but no real pain, BUT I did take my pain meds on time the first few days. I'm 5 days post op and going back to work tomorrow. I could probably have went back a few days ago, but decided to take it slow.

Take all the drugs you can...I dont know why there are so many people trying tough it out and not take the drugs!

I woke up from surgery in an abdominal binder and I wore it for a week...it really tucked in my gut and held it in place especially for sleeping. If you are not getting one at surgery go get one at a drugstore! Its just a wide white band of elastic and velcro...kind of like a corset!
