I didn't seem to be in as much pain as everyone. My period was coming on the day I was discharged so the few days before I had more menstrual cramps more than anything.

Keep popping those pain killers and stick to program and everyday will be better then before.

I'm 9 days out and just now starting to get back to normal. Like you, I was in a lot of pain at first- didn't expect that much pain and I thought by day 5 I'd be feeling normal. I was sooo wrong. Everyone is different, some ppl have almost no pain post-op and others have a lot! I can say that each day after day 6 or 7 got a lot better. I even went to the store and walked for an hour with my family!today. Good luck to you, hang in there!!

I had my surgery on Monday, 4/29, and was in the hospital 5 days. I have had a lot of pain, but the doctor explained that I have internal swelling from the 5 surgeries I ended up having: RNY, hiatal hernia, inguinal hernia, bowel resection, and gallbladder removal. The pain is worst after waking up, and I take my Tylenol with codeine and get quick relief. So the pain may be due to swelling, but I was told if you have a "gut" feeling that something is not right, to call the office to run it by them to be on the safe side. Also, be sure to take tiny sips of Fluid. If I drink more that a small sip, I get pain. Hope I've helped a little :rolleyes:. Feel better soon.

I had my period during surgery. I came out when it was over. They were so nice to be the nurses/doctors. They clean me made sure my pad was on & I was clean down there. I had the best experience in that hospital.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
