My surgery is the 21st. Is there any other late June people here to share stories and support? Could use buddies!

Mine is June 27th. Two days into liquid diet. Very nervous but ready for a life style change

I had mine on the 16th! So far so good. Pain was very tolerable, yes I use my pain meds when needed. Gas in my cavity still a issue:( my post op appointment is today. Can't wait to see if the scale moves any!

We are surgery sisters. Mine was the 16th as well but I'm not in as good of shape with pain management.

WELL I've lost 14 lbs. The slower I sip they say the less the pain will be I don't feel like I've lost anything but that scale made me happy. The stomach incisions don't bother me at all. I guess it's the behavior mods

14 lbs since the surgery on the 16th? Or since the pre op diet began?

I had my surgery June 13! I feel fine other than soreness on my left side and the only gas pains I had were in my shoulders as well. To be honest Im over the shakes already and would love some tuna

I'd love some broccoli lol. I also had my gallbladder removed so I'm wondering if that's why I'm still in pain.

I could have stayed 2 nights but I wanted to go home. I had a very early 6am arrival 730 am surgery so really it was like I was there 2 days since left at 7pm following day. First day rest and a few walks, 2nd day early in day leak test then broth jello ice chips a few times that day. Rest walking bathroom. I was on fluid iv drip entire time which meant bathroom every 1-2 hours practically. I was able to go on my own they just stay outside bathroom to make sure you don't fall. Happy to be home in own bed without as much noise as hospital !

Where is this June group? I'm two days out and would definitely love to chat.

June 21 was mine. Very little

Pain and finally going home. Haven't pooped yet, but I'm sure it will happen when I get home. Still have gas from the surgery. Not really hungry just trying to get my liquids and Protein in.

Good luck today Suzzzz! Had my surgery on Tuesday the 21st. I also had a hernia that they found and fixed. I was nauseous, in a bit of pain in the top part of my stomach and a good deal of pain in my left shoulder. Was on IV drip the entire time in the hospital so had to pee constantly and every 2.5 or 3 hours a walk about the floor. Couldn't sleep between the bed, the peeing and the constant vital checks. I had to stay in an extra day because I had an allergic reaction to one of the meds they gave me and I needed to get in more Water. I didn't want a single thing. They did a dye test while I was knocked out in the surgery and I did not have another leak test following that one. I was very happy with the ice chips. Get your ice chips! Walk walk walk. The walking eases the pain in your shoulders and your stomach so move. fart, burp and ride the hiccups. It all helps it go away. I have a sore throat and am coughing up a little phlem from the tube. Home today and still on Clear Liquids and don't want them but trying. Tomorrow full liquids. Can't imagine I will want that either but have to push and have to take meds so I'll have to make it work. My stomach hurts today drinking the water. Do not want. I will get it in as I don't want to go backwards. Gained water weight from the IV drip I think as I came out weighing more than I did when I went in.

My surgery was on the 21st, just got home I stayed 2 nights due to blowing my IVs and not staying hydrated, also my potassium got out of whack. Pain, with the use of the PCA pump and IV Tylenol and Toradol, was very minimal. I got up and started walking about 2 hours after I left the PACU, I walked 4 or 5 times that afternoon and evening and I really helped with the gas pains. I still got sharp, awful pain in my left shoulder if I sat up quickly, but that's done now. Still on Clear liquids and I have no desire for anything. I also had a bunch of phlegm that I finally cleared today, using the incentive spirometer helped a lot with that.

I had an umbilical hernia that was repaired during the surgery...I think that's the most painful site on my belly. Otherwise, my whole abdomen is just uncomfortable and kind of gassy feeling. No hunger at all, I'm not even thinking about food. Lemonade Isopure and Water is all I've had other than a few sips of chicken broth last night.
