Well I had my surgery yesterday. Pain was bad, but lots of diludid. I had surgery at 730am, in PACU before 11, in my room around 1pm. I was ealing by 5pm Today I went home. Pain control was good in the hospital today, but the oral oxy does nothing for me at all. I supposed to drink 60oz today but I only made it through 15. Anything more than 1/2 Oz makes me nauseous. so it's been chicken broth and water. Surgery made me gain 6 pounds, but mostly laprp water and IVF. The gas pain is intense. The fixed a hernia in my diaphragm and my shoulders and back are extremely painful when I lay down. Said it was from the lapro air they blow inside. 5 incisions. Only 1 hurts. And that pain is both inside and superficial. Here's to getting rid of my "fat clothes" and starting a new life.

Amazing !

Good luck to you! My surgery was July 25. Post op day 6 and I feel 100%. My kik app user name is luckymomof2boys if youd like to swap progress photos.

Day 2 and 3 were brutal. Day 4 improved. Day 5 95% better Day 6 =back to work and almost forgot I had surgery! Until I chugged 3 gulps of water and felt it. Ugh. Very happy it's getting better. Zero pain. I almost forgot I can't eat solid food and thought about grabbing pretzels. Then u remembered I'm only on full liquids. Puree starts tomorrow. I can't wait to taste sweet potatoes. What have you eaten for puree stage? I'm craving a taco. Thinking of making chilli.

Isopure is 50g x 2 scoops. Double up on any powder. I bought protein soup mix from amazon and I love it. Also okios Greek yogurt has 10g of protein. And you can add milk to make it drinkable and add protein

I only had 2 bms during my 14 day pre-op liquid diet. Day 5 post op and still nothing. But no constipation either

Great job!

30 pounds in 8 days??? You are amazing! Congrats

I drove day 2 post op. But I did not take oxy until bedtime

Triple zero oikos from Dannon is AMAZING! I add some PB2 powder to it. It's soo good

Wow! What a difference! Day 1 2 and 3 were painful and horrible. Finally today I'm feeling 1000x better!! I was able to eat 6 Oz protein broth and 2 TBS Greek yogurt + a bit of water. I'm down 20 pounds since my pre-op liquid diet. Going back to work Monday and feel like I can handle it. Whew. I was miserable for a few days. Good luck all!

Hi Paulie I'm day 4 post op! Let's chat!

Surgery went well IV pain meds were great. I walked the hall 15 x while I was there. Sx at 0700 home by 4p the next day. That's when the pain started. I couldn't drink. I had this strange painful sensation of air inside me ( shoulders back etc). This was from the laproscope and a hyatia hernia repair. The pain of changing positions was unbearable. Day 4 post op today =75% improvement! I already drank 3 Oz and it's only 10am. I'm hoping to return to class on Monday. Hw 280 (July 11) PRE op wt 265 (14 day liquid diet) Post op day 1 273 CW 262.

I feel the same. Day 4 post op Gs and hernia too. Bad taste. Can't drink much. Hoping this will pass.

I'm day 3 post op. It's hard. I'm glad I'm not the only one unable to drink. I get in only about 5- 10 oz/per day. And it's difficult to do. Good luck!

Day 3 post op. I have awful cramping pain. I'm only able to drink 5oz yesterday. Today I mixed protein powder (50g) with 5 oz milk and it takes me ALL day to drink it. The thought of forcing myself to drink makes me naeuous. I'm weak and very tired. Took lots of oxy last night, but none today. How much do you honestly drink at this stage. My nutritionist says 64oz, but that's not even possible. Help!

Half tum- I'm day 3 post op and feel sick all the time. I have a high passion tolerance, but this is horrible. How do you get 64 Oz in? Protein shake? I hardly can do 5oz per day and I feel sick

The worst pain in cramps/ full. It's difficult to even get myself to drink 15mls of the shake with out gagging. I have no desire to drink anything. The incision pain is bad when changing positions.

Still very painful. I'm day 2 post op. Got home yesterday. Can hardly drink only 15 MLS at a time. Full liquids start today, so I'll see how the yogurt and protein shake go. I feel like puking.

What do you take for pain? I have liquid oxy that does nothing for me. I have a very high tolerance of pain, but this is killing me.

I'm day 2 post op. Home yesterday. I'm super painful and always nauseous. I hope it gets better tomorrow
