Surgery Experience - I had in Mexico Tijuana. The facility was great and the staff was sooo supportive. They are very nice and take care of every need that you have. Landed at SD airport morning at 11 and was picked up not soon after. Then IV, anesthesia, surgery the usual. Woke up feeling like I’m gonna die from the gas pain, but pain meds helped. Still struggling a lot with pain. Next day was slightly better. I walk as much as I can but in my case that doesn’t seem to help, neither did the GasX drops. I guess it’s one of those things that will take its own time. Now I’m looking for guidance on what to eat and what not, vitamins, other supplements etc.

Hey guys. Thank you for all the support. Surgery went great. I am in pain (Gas pain is no joke) for the last two days. I’m two days post op and can barely keep the water down without hurting. Now I’m all sorts of confused about what I can drink and what I can’t. Is there a list or a thread that experts can point me to ?

I am having my surgery done late today. I am not proud to say that I did not follow my pre-op diet perfectly. In fact, I got so hungry that one day before when I am supposed to drink only clear liquids I ended up eating a meal. I just gave up. I have this feeling that nothing is going to help me anyways. I have been trying to lose weight forever. Since I got pregnant it has been a never-ending battle and I always look at food to comfort, reward and celebrate. I had gastric balloon but barely lost 8 pounds on it. I have had lipo twice on the abdomen. I just bounce back bigger and bigger. Now I am to have this surgery tomorrow which I hope is safe considering my liver probably did not shrink much. Knowing myself, I am not sure if this operation will be worth it because I know I will try to eat the same way again. So how did you change your relationship with food? How did you give up on it without being miserable? Is there any hope for me at all?
