Just had my surgery on June 4th. I have been able to drink and pee with no problem, the worst has been that gas pain. I had two hernia repairs (one being a hiatal), they say that repair causes some of the more intense gas pain. It’s taken me about 24 hours to work through that. I can drink a lot more fluids than I would have expected, though I have learned to take it slowwwwww since the added liquids to the air in your body causes pressure that’s uncomfortable.

Hey everyone! I am scheduled for this Friday (June 4th) - anyone else have the same date?

I am in the same boat. When I go on the liquid diet in a week (pre-surgery), I will definitely drop more than what I am able to be within the range I need to be, which is a BMI of 40. I haven't had much craving for food funerals, but I also haven't dieted as much as I have in the past (fear of gaining, which is not possible with my insurance). I just increased protein and decreased the portions, I wasn't as hungry due to protein...I am struggling to get enough in.....Wondering what my doctor will say about this since I have an appointment pre-surgery coming up. ?

I scheduled for the first week of June, but suspect I will be rescheduled for the 11th of June!
