They took out my drain before I left the hospital! That's my most painful spot though. My left side is second to that. It's a little better today compared to yesterday' date=' I'm only taking one teaspoon of pain meds instead of two. I agree it's so hard to get in all my Protein and Water. I think I only got about 21 grams of Protein yesterday and 36 oz of Water? I'm trying to increase today, but it's hard with the half hour rule, and not being able to handle much in the first place, and plus I just want to nap![/quote']

I'm not get as much as I was yesterday but I'm trying my left side is aching so I'm trying to rest

I forgot all about the half hour rule. Been drinking a couple of medicine cups slowly, waiting 15 mins, then drinking some more.

You're certainly welcome! It's my new nest friend. Between walking and the heating pad that's how I was able to get rid of that awful gas pain.

I wasn't in any pain when I woke up in my room. I had someone help me up to get the walk over with - they want you up and walking asap - and then I went back to bed. I was soooo sleepy! I walked three times the first day, each time followed by a nap. The worst part of the first day is not pain. The pain is manageable and they're giving you the good stuff for it. The worst part is the thirst!!! You can't drink until the second day...

I was scared of pain waking up too, but you're so drugged up its not too bad lol, just sore. You feel like you did a whole bunch of crunches. Or like you've been sucking in your stomach really tight. Other than that I slept most of the first day and the pain button helps a lot.

      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.

      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!!
