Got my date... September 3rd. Anyone else scheduled this day or in September?

I'm exactly the same. I can eat 4 oz of any of my allowed foods(because I measure that much out) and I never get full. Pretty sure I could eat at least double. I get 80 oz of water in a day too and can gulp it down after a workout with no problem HW(9/3/13)- 284' date=' DOS(9/11/13)-270, CW-259(9/20/13), GW-155(by 9/21/14...my 26th birthday!)[/quote']

I ate again today and still don't get any type of full sensation. I am portioning my food so that I am not over-eating. Also, I drink and drink and also don't get a "full" sensation. So it sounds like you and I are in the same boat and our stats are almost exact, that is a bit crazy.

Its 4:15 am and i am just about ready to head out to the hospital.

Good luck sashalk. I get out today!!

Good luck sashalk! Dreams how is it going?

Ok. So yesterday my back started getting sore. I went back to work and it was annoying and worse on inspiration but not bad. Came home 7 am and took some pain meds and went to bed. Woke up two hours later in extreme pain thats sharp in my back. I call my surgeons office with this rude PA who tells me its gas pain. Really? Gas pain that shows up a whole week later?? How is that since the gas should be completely out if my body three days post surgery.

I have a terrible back pain going on for the second day as well. I can't figure it out. I took Tylenol and it helps, but not sure why I have it. It is in my back on the left-side slightly higher than my kidneys. I have a had time believing it would be gas as well. I am 8-days post op. Surgery 09/16/13.

No nausea, i farted...peed alot. going to sleep.... Need at last 6.

Im two weeks out tomorrow. Had my two week appointment today and got cleared for soft foods. I ate scrambled eggs and a teaspoon of plain Greek yogurt and some taco seasoning around 2 pm today and its 7pm and I still feel kinda icky. Is that normal? I at my 1/4 cup like the Doc said.

Im home from the hospital it was a good stay and excellent team of doctors at Cottage Hospital. They gave me decaf tea, a protein drink and broth while I was there. Today I start on full liquids for 2 weeks and all sugar free items. Exercise as tolorable, and I am in a bit of pain still and still have some gas pains. Thank goodness for no other symptoms such as heart burn and nausua. Started on chewable vitamins today they are kinda tastey from Celebrate.

Surgery is tomorrow have to be at the hospital at 6am! Excited as heck!!

That is exactly where I would describe my pain too. Does it hurt worse when you breath in?
