Hi all,

Anyone out here August 28th? I was the 21st, but they had to move my surgery by a week.

Hey I had my surgery on the 28th. Things are going ok so far. Just can't seem to get in the 64 oz. An don't like the broth.

Same here, can't stand broth! I'm no where near 64oz but enough to keep me hydrated. I've been fine until last night, my stomach is really sore and it feels like my whole body is vibrating. I feel really tight in my entire abdominal cavity. I'm sitting now with a heat pack on my whole stomach and sipping some hot tea, hopefully that will help.

Hey guys I had my surgery 8/28/2013 how is everyone feeling?

Mommas I am the sane way pain when I swallow whole body hurts just plugged my heatin pad nd cannot eat or drink anything cause if pain.

Omg that's wats stopping me from eating or drinkin I called my doctor nd he said I can go to clinic to get an X-ray omg but I'm not hungry tho. How r u feeling?

The pain from that post passed and I have been fine for the past few days. Still a bit tired but I've been able to do some chores, errands and keep up with the kids. Usually needing a nap each day but that'll get better too.

Hope you're feeling better too!

Had surgery on August 27th, spent one night in hospital. I admit that I was unbelieveably miserable for the first 2 days, but I improved very quickly after that. (I have fibromyalgia and degenerative disc disease affecting my back) Lost 10 lbs pre-surgery, 17 lbs in the 2 weeks since. 4 inches from my waist!!

I can feel cool items go through my stomach, really weird! I keep Water next to me all day and sip a little at a time - but still only getting about 48 oz, but it is increasing.

I am ready for something better than broth!! I am soooo sick of broth... Get to start soft foods today and I have to start worrying about Protein.

How's everyone doing now that we are one month out?

I'm stuck. Haven't lost a pound 4 2 weeks.

Sorry to hear that Kelly. I am doing ok now. Spent the first three weeks in and out of hospital for dehydration due to swelling. Weight was going up and down during that time but steadily going down now

Hang in there Teeny. My problem seems stupid compared to what you've been thru. I hope you're past the rough part now. Take heart, Soon your children will know the best You!

Kelly thank you for your kind words. Every once and awhile i get that twinge of regret but i keep saying it can't be this bad forever. Still having a hard time with keeping things in and definitely not getting anywhere near enough fluids
