Hi group!! My surgery went well yesterday! My first night was rough,the iv pain medicine was making me sick and I ended up with a Migraine from lack of eating.
Today I feel much better!! I got rid of the IV medicine during the night, headache finally gone. Now I'm walking, sipping, walking, sipping!! Should be able to go home tomorrow. My only pain is from my drain. I keep an ice pack on it which seems to help and take liquid pain medicine every 6 hours. Good to finally be on the post op side!

Lol!!! I'm home ! Virtually pain free. My 2yo keeps trying to touch my stomach . I have the On-Q pain catheter in the larger incision . I can take it out on Friday or before if I feel so inclined. That's the only thing that really aches besides the gas. TMI , but I can't pass it!! I've been walking every 2 hours but it's a no go. Oh well. Time to finally lay in my own bed and try to get some rest since there was no rest to be had at the hospital. They get you up every 2-4 hours to walk. Plus all the usual poking and prodding. It starts about 6 hours after recovery. I'm excited about this new journey! Yours is coming soon!

Tomorrow is my big day. I am scheduled for 10am but I will be there at 8am to be prep. Pray for me ????

Thank you @@krystalgenie I will try adding some crystal light on my isopure. I didn't even think about it.

Thanks so much! Glad your swelling is gone down.

Good luck @@laura4923 on surgery, I will include you in my prayers. My swelling has gone down thank God. Taking it one step at a time.

@jfer- glad you are doing better!! Thank you for the support! ????

I had my surgery on August 6 now is 17 days and I feel good my abdominal pain is almost disappearing, no nauseas, no vomiting eating tuna, 1% milk, crystal light, Atkins shakes, diet Jell-O, Soups. No headaches, sipping Water the whole day. Good luck in ur journey.

Everybody looks great on their pictures. I can't wait to share also my after pictures. My surgery is coming Aug.20th wish me luck.

Hello, how about change your snack to healthy Snacks. Instead of sodas drink Water. You can do this you've done it already. Dont forget exercise no minimum 4 times a wk. your goal is right around the corner. If the others can do it you can do it too ????.

Glad to hear everyone is progressing well both pre and post! I'm so sad to hear Priscillapresley that your preop visit was focused on all the negatives!! Keep your chin up and dwell in the positive!! That is where your body will gravitate to! My clinic has been so positive and whenever I have felt the least bit frustrated, they are reminding of the positives.
My surgery is on the 25th and I'm on my second week of the gourmet liquid diet! ????. Keeping everyone in my prayers as we are starting our new lives!!

My prayers are with you.

This is May 25th the night before surgery and then the one on the right was on Sunday!
