So I lost 13 pounds during the week of pre-op liquid diet and was feeling pretty good. Weighed in at 226 the morning of surgery. Came home the next day at 240! What the heck? I realize they had me on IV fluid the whole time, but 14 pounds worth? It's depressing to feel like I took a giant step backwards
I am 2 days out also. Pain med helps but makes me sleep. For me it's not just stomach pain it's my whole body feeling like I've been beat up and can't stand that my head is so foggy. I keep telling myself that each day will be better but that's not helping too much right now. I took a shower and that helped for a little while. Good luck
Mine is tomorrow and also having gallbladder removal... I am a mess. I've lost 10 pounds this week on the pre-op diet. I don't know how I'm going to get through work today. Sunday was the day I was having serious 2nd thoughts. Now i just want to get it over. My friend who had the same said every day gets a little bit better. Good luck.
