Congrats and much less pain than i expected. If you take pain meds be sure to use stool softner. The pre-op diet had me messed up so after surgery the meds made me worse.

Im hungry too and that concerns me. I feel like if i just ate a soft scrambled egg it would go away but my surgical instr. say one more week of clear liquids. From what i can tell every surgeon is different. I feel like ive been WAY under educated for this surgery tho because the purpose of mine was for preparation for abdominal wall reconstruction once ive lost enough weight...

I'm one week post-op and to me the first 3 days were the worst and yes it hurt every time i drank. Nothing but water age ice the first two days then slowly got much better. Good luck!
