I agree about the pain. Compared to a total knee, open abdominal hysterectomy, and thoracotomy, (and also a fractured pelvis and broken ribs) this was a piece of cake. I used some Tramadol for a day or two, then just liquid Tylenol for about a week. The most painful part was getting out of bed - that sideways twisting was not nice. That's where my firm little pillow was my best friend. I held it against my tummy every time I coughed, twisted, or even walked for the first week. See if they have something like that at the hospital before you leave. They might call it a "splint" pillow - to splint your abdomen. At the last 2 hospitals I was at, the volunteers made them.

liquids won't make you feel full - they go right through you. You likely won't feel full until you start eating solid food.
also, a lot of people don't feel much pain with this surgery (some do, of course - but a lot of us don't). I didn't feel much pain with mine, either. Easy peasy!!
