Sorry about your husband. My pain level was quite high for the first two days, then it eased off midway through the third. Getting the drain out helped a lot.

I didn't get a drain either. Today isn't too bad. Some gas pains. I had a hernia fix as well, but we knew going in. The doc said my hernia was much larger than shown on the EDG. He also said that I had one of the largest stomachs hes seen on a low bmi patient. It explains alot. Between having a huge stomach and the acid reflux hunger pains. Thats why I was always hungry.

Hello all!

Glad we made it through. I'm in pain too, and I'm hungry ???? I realy wanted to be one of those people who are never hungry for the first 9 months to a year.

My barium swallow before surgery showed a small hiatel hernia, but when I asked my docs resident doctor about it, she said my doctor doesn't do hernia repair. I hope the hernia is smalll, but maybe that explaines hunger pains.

I've drinken three little medicin cups of Water, and I will have broth snd Jello in a few minutes. Have you all eaten yet?

Also, no drain for me either.

i have my last appointment March 11th!! I had to wait six months! In the meantime, well in the last week I have bought Protein drinks. I tried all the allowed drinks a few months ago and bought what I liked. I am stocked on Vitamins and Isopure drinks! All the healthy healthy stuff I'll need like the veggies I'll be allowed to have during the 2 weeks pre op diet I'll buy in bulk later. I'm ready! Can you tell?

You're not alone. I have bad pain too. I was on th Delodid pump that i pushed myself, until this afternoon. Then they changed me to Percocet every 4 hours, and tylenonl. Can they give you some Tylenol. I tried eating some broth and Jello and my stomach hurt, anf I felt sick, got bad hiccups, but didn't reallg feel full.

It's what's to be expected....We just had our surgeries yesterday. Little bu liytle it will get better. Praying for us all.

      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.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      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!!
