    I think the pre-op should be varied as everyone will need different things come surgery day..such as a less fatty liver. It is the post op that I would think should be more consistent.

    The next time someone says it is the easy way out..ask them to put on a 100 pound backpack and wear it 24/7 for a week. I am betting none would make it past a day..maybe two.

    Okay a little science here as told to me by my surgeon. Water has a high surface tension, meaning that its barrier to allow it to be broken down is hard. Think of a steel paper clip that floats on the surface. Now your stomach is like the size of a coffee stirrer at this point due to swelling etc. because of the high surface tension it is hard sometimes for the Water to be absorbed and gets kind of backed up if that makes sense. So when you dilute water or mix it with something if breaks that high tension and thus can be absorbed faster. Not everyone experiences it but it is one of those side effects that can happen.
    I always thought Bill Nye the science guy was sexy.

    I need the pain mess at the end of the day to help sleep. Getting up and down during the day from a chair or bed or whatever leaves me very sore at the end of the day. I take one teaspoon of the liquid Percocet I took home with me. Each day gets better!

    You are doing nothing wrong. You are pumped full of liquids at the hospital..those take time to work their way out. It is perfectly normal to gain weight after the surgery which is why my doctor said hide the scale. I haven't weighed myself and I am 4 days post op but I know I am still puffy from my rings not fitting right. Hang in there!!!

    4 days post op! Finally came home from the hospital yay! First day home. Feeling pretty good though. Never though getting up and walking and drinking four ounces would exhaust me. Lots of naps!
