I do not like being so dang stranded. I wanna do more.. DRives me crazy!! It's only been since Jan. 7th. I am doing everything I am suppose to, just hate this drain.. doesn't come out until Jan 15 th my apt. Does that hurt coming out??

They took mine out before I left hospital. It was a piece of cake. No pain at all. It was so bothersome. My surgery was also on the 7 th.

Wow..Stacey! Glad to hear someone had it the same day!! This drain is very bothersome. How are you doing with pain and diet??

I have no pain. More like tenderness. I haven't taken any of the pain pills. They made me so nauseous. My husband has made a few new soup recipes (smooth) so yummy. It was hard today with football no dips and cocktails....I actually feel better. I am getting all protein and water in. Really miss diet coke

they removed my drain before I came home. Your energy will return and more! Just give yourself some time and take care of yourself.

I can have full liquids starting Tuesday. I can not wait!! I get this weird pain right before a belch. It sometimes takes my breath away. I think thia drain is laying to close to my diaphragm. I think I will feel alot better when it comes out. Thanks for your positive enforcements. It just gets to me at times.. thanks
