Happy Holidays,

Congrats. By the way I feel the food as is going down too. And it hurts.

I agree. When I'm awake and able to get to in about 4 ounces in an hour It hurts for a few seconds on the last ounce.

How r doing?

Just got home. Feeling pretty good. Only a little sore at the port sites. Nothing the Tylenol with codeine can't handle. Hubby is hearing up my broth now. Been tooting and burping which feels AMAZING!

They repaired a small hernia on me too. Didn't even know I had one. I didn't start tooting until late last night. The burping felt better. I hope you feel better and get to go home soon.

One more day and I'll go in for a revision to sleeve and fix a hiatal hernia....getting the jetters. I have to be on two weeks of full liquids...what does that entail? Also I take BP meds and another med that is pretty big. What do you do..chop them up or did your doctor give you different meds? I just now thought about that.

When does the soreness go away?? Im not in pain but man oh man my left side is sore as I dont know wat

My left side soreness went away right around 7 days. I have a JP drain in tho, so it may not actually take that long.

Had final clearance today, all set for surgery next Wednesday. On day 5 of the pre op liquids & down 6.8 pounds!! Best Wishes for everyone, we are fantabulous!!!

Ask your doctor, but I can tell you I take a pepcid daily without crushing it. It's about as big around as a wooden pencil and it's kind of thin. The doctor specifically told me to avoid capsules, but was fine with the pepcid going down whole.

Since we're discussing poo... Lol... Did anyone else notice after a week or so on the liquid pre-op that their urine had a strange smell? Idk if I'm imagining it or what...

And your breath too? And a weird taste in your mouth? It's because your body is in ketosis. Doesn't go away until after surgery. But at least you know your liver is shrinking!

I can tell u that im two.weeks out from.surgery and that taste in the mouth still.hasnt left me! No.matter how strong the toothpaste or mouth wash....

Also, the foods, liquids for now, taste nothing like they used to. I tasted some cheese off of my fav pizza and i was thoroughly disgusted. Shouldnt have tried it anyway but i spit it out and went back to my shakes lol....

I've been able to take my medications just fine...if they are tablets, break them in half. Best bet is to ask your doc!
