I had my surgery Wednesday, the 24th. I have almost no energy. I have had different surgeries previously and never felt like this. The abdominal pain is more of a discomfort, and the shoulder pain is almost non-existent. Another thing is that I woke up very grumpy this morning. I just do not feel like myself.

I take Centrum chewable. They don't taste too bad.

I had my surgery yesterday. I'm not really hurting, but I have some discomfort in my shoulder. I'm also having a little difficulty breathing. I've been getting up and walking around as much as I can. I think it's just gas causing the discomfort. I haven't been hungry, but my mouth is so dry, so I'm drink a lot of water.

Feeling lots better this morning. No pain just a little discomfort. I didn't sleep well last night though. I kept waking up to go to the bathroom. Probably because of the iv and drinking a lot of water. I'm taking it rather easy today, but I'll make sure I walk around as much as possible.

Thanks for the ideas. I'm feeling better, just tired.

I had surgery around 1 pm today. I actually wasn't nervous about the surgery. When I woke up, I was in a lot of pain in my chest and shoulder. They gave me some morphine then later some liquid hydrocodone which helped. I got home a couple hours ago and went to sleep. My dog woke me up to take her out. Now if we could just time warp and have the weight already off, but I'm actually looking forward to the journey.

I have mine scheduled for 10:30 in the morning. I'm excited to get this journey going, but I'm nervous and can't fall asleep.

Good luck to you. I have mine scheduled at 10:30 in the morning. Let's just send good vibes too each other. :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

I actually get to eat some food. I usually have a scrambled egg and dry toast for meal 1, shake for meal 2, 4-6 oz lean meat or fish with serving of green veggies for meal 3, and shake for meal 4. Most of the time, I can't drink the shake for meal 4. I can also supplement with carrots or celery. What I hate are the chewable vitamins. The multi-vitamin is tolerable, but the only calcium with vitamin D I could find tastes like gummy candy and is sooooooo sweet. Then I have to take 2 in the morning and 2 in the evening. How are you doing with the shakes?

I'm on the morning if the 24th. I am so excited. I've been following my pre-op plan for almost 2 weeks. I actually like the shakes and finds new ways to make them taste even better.
