Thanks ladies for telling me it gets better!! I an still hurting pretty bad. I also have the sharp gas pain inmy whole back and my shoulders.and neck. Its pretty bad. I just keep tellimg myaelf it will.get.better!!. We made it!!

My stomach is very swollen. However i dont have red insisions. It hurts to walk becausemy stomach pulls down ahhhh!! I hope this gets better soon

Ok all so i came home yesterday and had an AWFUL ride home. I live an hour and 15 minutes from where i has surgery and by time i made it in my town i was bawling and haveing like a panic attack from all the pain. My liquid lortab has not been helping much so i have been hurting alot since ive been home. Hopeing this gets better cuz it sucks right now. I was doing great in the hospotal but now that im home... Not so.much

Now the pump doesnt take all my pain away i do still have pain but nothing like when first out of surgery

I had some nausea immediatly after surgery but once i took the medecine i havent bad nausea. Ive had afairly easy recovery so far. Walking has been very easy for me and i have minimal pain. My advice would be use you pain pump thus makes it tolerable to get up walking and move around in bed ect. Id say without this pump i wouldnt have done 18 laps around my wing

Glad your doing well jaime_boston. We made it!!

Good luck changeingforme.. Remembed to walk it helps alot!!

So with every hour im doing better. I am a little restless however and have been getting my walk on. 18 laps and counting.

Heyy everyone so surgery went well!! I had a small tiny hernia and that was repaired as well. Immediatly after surgery i had a great deal of pain. Abdomen, back!! WAS THE WORST and my neck and shoulders. I was in tears. So the hooked up my pain pump and of walking i went. Ive done 8 laps of my wing so far and get up to walk at leaat every hour. My pain has decrrased significantly how ever i am still in pain. Will update tomarrow

So i am on my way to the hospital now!! Thank you all for the wishes. Ill see you on the other side!!

Surgery in the morning!!!!!! At 9:30 ET. Yay!!!! Gotta be at hospital by 7:15. Good luck jaime_boston and fellow march 18ers. We can do this!!

Kb88 thanks for the advice but i dont need to postpone. Ivebeen in this process for 9 months now and i couldnt be anymore excited!!. I guess just in the back of my mind i worry like everyone else. It is major surgery and a major life change but im in it for the long haul!thanks.. Like 33 hours or so till surgery!! Im elated

Where is everyone??. 2 days till surgery!!

Where is everyone??. 2 days till surgery!!

Also. At the weight of 214 i conceived my daughter naturally. And at over 300 i havent been able to conceive not even with clomid. I am doing this to grow my family as well !! Hope it helps

Loveit2012. I am 5' 6. And four years ago before i became pregnant with my daughter i weighed 214 and i felt wonderful. I was happy woth my body for the most part. I was able to walk miles with no pain and i was able to hike trails here in the smoky mountains where i live for like 2 miles up a mountain amd 2 back.down and felt great. Thats why my goal is 200. I have gained up to 322 in 4 years and now im at 309 . Time to get back to the old me!!!

Im starting to have cold feet:(. I know this is something i want. Im just scared that i will lose more than i want to because my goal weight i will feel comfortable at is like 200. I dont want to be skinny. I just want to be healthy and i want to keep meat on my bones. But i am going through with this in 3 more days because to get to goal of 200 i need to lose 109 lbs

I mean was not told i had to do it 10 times every hour for 2 weeks

Yes i was givin an incentive spriometer at my preop hospital visit. Was told after surgery it will help prevent pneumonia. Was told how often to.do it.

So i definatly have NOT been hungry whatsoever!!. I am on day 9 of preop liquid diet with 4 days till surgery. I havenot been able to get all my shakes down they say i need 4 shakes a day and ive only been getting 2 down. My weight loss stopped even thought i havent been eating anything at all. Called surgeon office and was told i had to.get at least 4 shakes.down and my weightloss will start back up. Ive lost 10lbs

Im sorry your in so much pain jurneeofone. Hopefully you will feel better soon!! Do any of yall use spanx or some type of compression for after surgery. Just wondering if or where i need to look to get one.thanks

Wow awesome jinvegas!!.. 18 pounds in 10 days wow i hope i do that well !! Congrats

Thanks kb88. I know ill do fine but these last couple days are dragggging

Im starting to get nervous and worry a little bit ive got 4 more days. I go in to hospital at 7:15 surgery at 9:30 tuesday the 18th. Ahhhhh im kinda scared but happy too!!
