Hi all. Just wanted to quickly post to let you know I made it ok. I am in my hospital bed right now. Glad i could stay overnight. Not trying to scare anyone but I truly did not expect this level of pain. Overall things have gone smoothly and I will share more once I feel better. All the best. xo

Omg me too, I'm day 2 post op and my pain is extreme. We cam do it. Good

Luck with everything

Well I started my liquids a day early and did great with it~~ Woke up this am feeling a little weird but okay. I jumped on the scale and I weighed 164 WOW!!! My first weigh with the doc I was 273~~ then at my last visit with the doc I was 271. Since my pre op diet two weeks ago and then starting liquids yesterday I'm down to 264!!! I'm very excited!!!! That 7 pounds in two weeks so far and I still have to day on liquids. My surgery is Friday!!! So nervous I could puke!!!! LOL

I'm glad it's not just me. Definitely better than yesterday but still constant. I feel like someone is tearing me up inside whenever I have to get up out of bed. Same to you.

Sandrie and Buffaogyrl - hope it all goes smoothly today. You will do just fine.

Thanks!!!! IV is in and I'm prepped!!! Waiting till 7:30!!! Will post when I can!!!

I have a question.

I see everyone is talking about insane pain levels, do the doctor not give a pain med?

I went to see my surgeon two weeks ago and gave me a prescription on the spot, I didn't even ask.
