Hi! I just got my surgery date for July 20th. I'm excited nervous and everything in between. Looking to find a pal, to work through the process with, with similar surgery date!

Only the first few days but it went away really fast. The pain meds they gave me I think would make me nauseous but cold cloth helped. hiccups are what are bad for me I hiccup a lot and makes me sore but I have always been a frequent hiccuper lol

lol, well that is reassuring, how was the pain immediately post op?

Really not bad at all my back hurt a lot from laying flat for long time that was excruciating but after I got a heating pad it helped a lot just sore coughing and stuff not fun but you have to do it. Hug a pillow when you do helps immensely. Also I learned to hug my body pillow when I sleep that helps my stomach not hurt so much. But the pain was very very mild to what I thought they sent me home with stronger meds I used it for one day then used Tylenol for one now I don't need anything at all!

that is amazing, im hoping for a speedy and painless recovery, but my surgery is a little more entailed due to previous surgery on my abdomen, and a mesh they may need to cut thru to get to my intestines, so i may be in a bit more pain. But it sounds like usually the pain is bearable and minimal

Oh yeah it should be good I hope it's still minimal for you keep posted when you can sending good thoughts for speedy recovery!

hi! so im sorry you are stuck with 2 weeks of liquids ... yuck. i lost a lot of weight in one month so my dr said i am allowed to just do 7 days of liquids. i start tomorrow. Not looking forwards to it. Have you stared yet? I have very similar feelings, more so because my procedure is a higher risk due to previous surgery and some other complications. That's what has me very nervous, also i wont know if i get bypass or sleeve until after the surgery, since he will try his best to do bypass but i may have a ton of scar tissue that make it impossible to do the bypass.

Oh yeah it should be good I hope it's still minimal for you keep posted when you can sending good thoughts for speedy recovery!

Thank you! I definatley will keep you updated. I was wondering have you purchased "special" plates/bowls/utensils? I was advised to do so by some people but i really dont want to use baby rubber spoons LOL

I'm on day 5 of liquids... it's not that horrible... but I really notice all the food commercials, and it's hard watching my Gordon Ramsey shows lol. I did lose some weight, but I was just shy of only having to do a week of liquids.

You had me cracking up, I avoid tv for that reason, ever since i started to diet almost 2 months now. Those commercials are sooo tempting lol. Thats great that you only had to do 1 week of liquids. How have you been feeling energy wise? Also have you been walking yet?

That is amazing maria. I definatley will keep you in the loop so you know what to expect, and you can ask me anything. Im starting my preop diet tomorrow, not looking forward to it.
