Who is your doctor? The pain but I think all of it has been from the hernia repair. Cause everyone says they really didn't have any pain. After surgery I had hard time with Soups, thinking about them make me sick. LOL. Getting my fluids and Protein in has been task. With all that said I'm still happy that I did it. I lost as of Monday which is 6 days out 15lbs.

My Dr. Is Dr. Bass. I also have to have a hernia repaired during surgery! Im worried about the full liquid diet because my sister had the lap-band done and she literally cried because she was so hungry! I also worry about getting the protien in lol I guess its all a big change for a lifetime. 15lbs in 6 days thats great! congrats!!!

Yes, he is really nice. He did my aunts lap band over year ago. Missy is the sweetest thing. I had couple questions after surgery and Dr Bass called me back himself.

The liquid diet gets easier after about the 2nd or 3 rd day. Your taste buds or they way your stomach feels about certain foods changes after surgery so don't stock up to much on items. The liquid Soups I used 2 different types to give them more taste. Like French onion and beef. Dannon light n fit greek yogurt is high in Protein and taste pretty good. Are u part of the Facebook group or have the my fitness pal app yet??? GOOD LUCK!!!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
