  • if it helps any, my surgeon doesn't require me to do any special diet before hand so you should be okay. Also congrats!! It's going to be here sooner then you know.

    Hello all doing well. Day one wasn't as bad as I thought. I've been on ice chips and water all day. Will start broth. Pain was ,moderate but manageable. Mostly in center of chest from hernia repair.

My advice is to get it together right now. You will have to realize that eventually you have to make right decisions to keep the weight loss happening as well as staying at goal. If you can't fix it now it will be ten times harder once the honeymoon phase is over.

Good luck.

You will be great..Some surgeons don't even require it...Mine never even mentioned it before nor after....Best Wishes....Day one make sure they have our meds right when you come from surgery...Not morphine,,,It does not take pain away and have the nausea meds on deck 2...You will need them for a few days

I had a hernia repaired as well yes I've been walking taking these gas x strips!! I just really hate this drain!

I have soreness, really sore but no pain. The drain has been ok. Today it not even filling up, so that's good. I walked outside this morning and drank some Ujury protein.

Girl yes, I am sick of the drain also. ARRRGGGHHH it is so hard to shower with this thing hanging out my body. I am so ready for full liquids too!!!!

My surgery date is June 24th. June 9th is my preop appt. Lately I've been having a funeral with food. I even made an appointment with my attorney to make a will for my 4 year old son. Am I being morbid? Obsessing over youtube videos pre/post too. So looking forward to the journey so why am I feeling this angst?

OMG I had 3 ounces of chicken noodle soup. I am doing the moonwalk. Lol lol it was awesome! I'm happy for the rest of the day. I'm at 50 grams of protein so far....now working on increasing my fluids. It's a great day! Lol
