I'm 10 days post op and am down 25 lbs since the beginning of this adventure! Feeling better every day. Healing up nicely just sore. Not getting all of my water and protein but I get more in each day. Hope you all are doing great! This is so exciting!

I was supposed to take the tape off my incisions yesterday. I took off five bit I can't bring myself to take it off the sore one. The one they pulled my stomach and gall bladder from! Yikes!

Are you in Az?

I have to say that sleeping has been a bit miserable for this side sleeper. I finally laid on my left side last night and almost cried with happiness. It only lasted about an hour though. My back and butt are killing me! About to try the side again. Night night everyone!

Day 6 post op and back to work today! Feeling great! Little to no pain and working on those fluids!

Thank you!

I'm on dilaudid pills. They are tiny. But I don't hurt enough for them. Need just plain Tylenol. My husband made me think I should just stick to orders.

The pain pills are killing me. Anyone taking children's tylenol?

I was practicing not eating and drinking at the same time before surgery. I thought I had it down. I'm 4 days post op and I'm eating cream soups, cream of wheat, pudding, etc. Keep forgetting those are foods! Just keep drinking!

Sounds good and good luck!

I just went outside and walked around the block sloooowly. The sun feels great and I'm feeling better every day! Don't get frustrated and don't have any regrets. Remember the big picture!

My doctor said that I would probably always be cold which is awesome since I live in the desert!

Good luck to you all! I'm moving on out to the post-op forums! See you all there soon!

I'm three days post op and yesterday I felt hungry because I really was! Not because I was sad or mad or glad! Great feeling to need nutrition versus craving food!

But aren't you required to take calcium citrate? Not just calcium?

I didn't have drains. Should I have?
