On back and left side. Right side hurt to much . Keeping the white stomach wrap on . First night pretty good

Most of the hunger has gone away but my liquid diet, which is 3 weeks, includes 6 Meal Replacement shakes per day and unlimited zero calorie drinks been on it 14 days already....but I really miss food all I want is a piece of chicken lol

Im Day 1 of Pre op diet today AND Day 1 of No Smoking. ROUGH

I am 36 hours post surgery, I did 8 days of liquid diet and lost almost 10 pounds.... my doctor visited today and he said it was
a text book procedure, my liver was not swollen due to the liquid diet and the bleeding was minimal... I have 4 incisions and a Drain that will be removed in a week.... I just experienced minor pain yesterday... had a great night of sleep in my ultra nice private room...
Tomorrow I will have a contrast leak test and if everything is OK, I will go home.....
I hope you guys are doing great too !!

Trying hard not to think about the days flying by! Focusing super hard on work and homework until then! I know once it's done & over with I'll start feeling 100% better

So tomorrow is the day for me! I'm on liquids today for pre-op. These can include Protein Drinks and creamed soups! I can drink coffee even. Tomorrow morning after bathing in the special soap for the 2nd time I can have coffee or juice or Bone Broth on the way to the hospital if I want and then I'll be joining you recent surgery peeps in the post-op diet. I'm nervous, feel like I should clean and get things in order today, but mostly confident in my decision. I haven't told two of my three kids yet so that's weighing on me but I think it's best for now. I am so excited to feel good again, get some of this weight off to help with back, hip and overall joint pain, and to have the energy and desire to hang with the grand kids more....these are the things that give me confidence in this decision. I appreciate the most recent posts from those of you that just had surgery this week and your encouragement. Keep it coming....I still have 20.5 hours to go until I leave for the hospital :).....

I’m lucky to have private room. Had a great sleep hardly any pain. Just the normal bitaland blood draw wake up. So much better than expected

“I got great sleep in my semi-private hospital room,” said no one

I can have sf pudding/jello/popcicles unsweetened applesauce, whey Protein isolate shakes with skim, soy, or lactose free milk, low sodium broth, sugar free non carbonated Water mixes,propel, sobie light, snapple light ice, Decaf coffee or tea, and the veggies steamed or raw. mrs dash, garlic/onion powders, spices,

Girl!! I laughed and said, I guess it was wishful thinking

Forgive me for giggleing at that but I guess it’s one of those things no one tells you so is good to know I’m glad your doing good .. !! Can’t wait to be on the other side with you all

Oh and that apron part was stuck together from the antibacterial stuff... I’ve since pulled it apart lol my nurse explained it and helped me 🤦🏻‍♀️[emoji23]

I have 5 enry points and I have a removable Velcro band covering my tummy and I can remove it if I want but seems like it’s holfing stuff together so I’m leaving it be. I’m on surgery day as well 11 hrs ago and feel good no gas and just minor pain

I have that air/gas pains - they were horrible at first but have lessened a lot ... I am experiencing gerd from my Water but my nurse explained that the pouch is so so swollen that it’s temporary and should get better with each passing 12 hours

I had my surgery, technically yesterday, about 12 hours ago. It went very text book. My surgeon said it was boring for him lol. I was expecting the 4 incisions, but there’s one on my under belly... the “apron” is less and completely glued down. Anyone else experience this? And do you know why? My nurse should be back within 30 minutes and I’ll ask then but just curious if others got them as well

OMG I would give my left arm for some veggies been on a complete liquid diet for 14 days now and 7 left to go...its so interesting how every surgeon is so different

Surgery a complete success. Recovering now hope the same for all other. Minor pain but all good. Walking at the hospital home tomorrow

Everything went great with my procedure ... hospital has excelent pain management... i am in sooo little pain... I hope the other two or three persons that had they surgery today are doing great !!

and for those that will have them in the following days , do not worry , everything will be just fine...

I am starting my pre op diet tomorrow on the 16th. Hope you are surviving


This is my Journey to Joy !

I just got home from the hospital. All is still going well. Having some significant pain in my left-most incision. Otherwise, I feel fine. Just need some sleep.
Best wishes and prayers to everyone whose surgery is coming up soon. At least from my perspective, it's not been as bad as I was afraid it would be.

Up and going to wash with the special soap for the 2nd time! Leaving the house in less than an hour! Now it’s all feeling crazy but I know it’s cold feet and so I continue on! Here we go!

Congrats !! you look great!
