I finally got a surgery date!!!! YAY!!!! September 16th is the day!!!! I'm soooo excited, can you tell?! Lol, starting my liver shrink diet Monday!!!

Lory,

I had to ask for a tablet pain med that I could crush (liquid made me vomit) I hide it in a tiny teaspoon of Greek yogurt. ( I know it's not clear but figured it is better than dry heaving my guys out) I'd also recommend gas x strips? Lots of walking, and a heating pad or microwaveable PEAS from The drug store. I put the hot PEAS pouch where I had gas and it helped. Good luck and I hope for some relief for you soon.

Thank you, I do have the GasX strips. I was able to get down the medicine two additional times without vomiting. If I stay on the pain killer it takes away the radiating pains that seem to be coming from my stomach. I just got down 1/2 cup of lime jello. I'm going to try the heat.....thank you!

I just got my date today Sept. 24th. Looking for a buddy in Worcester' date=' MA area. I am not from around here only been in MA 2 1/2 years. I am excited and nervious all in one.[/quote']

Just checking in to see how you are doing. I live in the Boston area- not to far from Worcester. I was sleeved on the 23rd. The first week was horrendous. Since Sunday things have gotten much easier and feeling more optimistic. I am no longer on the pain meds, just liquid tylenol. Protein has been hard, but getting my liquids in.

Hang in there. It does get better!
