@@waitingtoexhale Congrats, I hope everything goes smoothly today.

One word of advice to anyone pre-op, do not try to avoid the pain medication. That turned out to be a big mistake and my poor hubby had to go out at 4am to get my script filled.

I was lucky, no gas pains at all. My stomach feels like Jillian Michaels gave me a personal ab workout for like 45 minutes. Just sore muscles really. The surgeon said they also repaired a hiatal hernia while they were in there so that makes things a bit more sore.

I know each day will get a little easier and I'm so glad to be on the other side and not scared of the unknown. It's totally worth it. All of you on this site gave me tons of courage and I really appreciate it.

p.s. Just the idea of food kind of disgusts me. It's hard work just to sip a Protein shake and Water.

@@*Lexie* I've heard that hernia repairs make the recovery a little more rough than usual, so you seem to be doing great!!

I hope I don't get those dreaded gas pains as well :) Good luck on your journey!!

@@resipsa89 Thanks, I think you are right. I am off pain medications and doing well with Tylenol. And the food aversion is only temporary. My husband made brats last night and they smelled very good. I used to think it sounded so gross to puree food but if I was on puree, I would have blended up one of those brats last night. LOL

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
