In post op when I woke up there was pain in my stomach. They kept giving me medicine every few minutes and I would drift back off to lala land. I was moved to my room about 2 hours later. The worst for me was the dry mouth and not being able to drink anything at all. They did give me mouth swabs- and they helped a little. Started walking a couple hours later- amazing help!!! The morphine every 2 hours was my friend and it kept me walking! Discharged home early day 2 and other then not being able to sit straight up or lay flat- felt good. 6 days post op went to family Christmas. 11 days post op I was wearing jeans and heals for Ny eve!! Best of luck to you!

I am 10 days post op...and had the same worries! I haven't been sick once! I was scared to death of both surgery and after! It hasn't been nearly as bad as I expected! Keep a positive attitude and get up and get moving right away!! My preop apt was today and I am doing great!! You will do great!!

I am on my 4th and final week of my 800 calorie preop diet. Stay strong and focused! 3 shakes, 2 lettuce salads, 2 sf Jello. And 2 c chicken broth (not homemade). After the first 5 days I really only wanted shakes and chicken broth! 4 days on this diet and 1day of clear liquids!! Almost done!! All in the attitude!

I did my two weeks and surgery was supposed to be today! After day 5 my cravings went away for the most part! However Monday I received a call that they had to move my surgery to next Friday. Which means 2 more weeks of preop. Needless to say 3 Protein Shakes, 2 jellos, 2 salads and 2 c of chicken broth are my friend- for 4 whole weeks :-(! I am actually to the point that I am not eating the "filler" items. Sticking to the Protein shakes and water! It's not nearly as bad as I thought. Christmas parties have been hard- and mostly avoided. Cheers to 9 more days of protein shakes!!
