Hello all, I'm four days post opt and this is not the best it so hard for me to get liquids down, hot fluids I tolerate better than cold but it's still a struggle to get anything down. I exhausted all the time and want to lay down and sleep but I remember I have to move walk and stay a little active. I didn't believe this would take that much out of me considering all the great success stories I've been reading. I trying to stay positive because everything was a success and I don't have diabetes anymore which is a blessing in itself. Anyway, I just want to let you all know what was going on with me and how I'm feeling.

Thanks Sleeksleever, I've never had surgery either. Nicole's experience makes me nervous! I'm praying for you Nicole, hopefully soon your pain will subside.

I did speak to my doctor who let me take more pain meds. I guess I am a big whimp with this surgery and I've had two stomach surgeries in the past. The pain is just a lot for me. I'm trying to stay strong and remember that this pain is fleeting. I wish before surgery I would have seen a post like mine. It feels like people only post how amazing they feel and I definitely not like that. So here is the other side of the story for those about to have it. I wouldn't say that I wouldn't do it again but be ready to be on your butt in pain.
