Okay, just figured out how to join this group. My surgery is 2:15 p.m. today, which means I'm currently STARVIVNG and trying to keep my mind of food + keep my nerves in check! Any other Dec. 21 peeps out there? Would love to hear from everyone coming out of surgery. Good luck to all!

Hope all went well for you today, glad you've joined us! This is a great place to come on this journey, so welcome and happy healing!

I made it. Now in recovery for the night. They discovered and repaired a hiatal hernia so my "cover" really isn't a lie anymore. Only pain I'm feeling is pressure in my chest. So far, so good! How about my surgery twins? Would love to hear from you!

@ my surgery was December 21st as well..I'm super sore, it's hard getting up and down..

Don't know how I'm going to get in all my protein and water..hurts to take in deep breaths...I'm just taking it easy these first couple of days...don't feel like eating...

Praying for a way to do all this!

Had my surgery on 12/20. I'm feeling pretty good. Been sleeping in a recliner because I have pain when I lie on my side. Incision pain is my problem right now, I apply heat and it usually resolves. Looking forward to advancing my diet on Saturday to full liquids and get some more Protein in. How is everyone else doing?

Hi @@nursemichelle7,

How is your incision pain now? Mine is so bad that I can barely do anything at all. (Sleeved on 12/21) The incision looks good but underneath that there is an awful burning pulling feeling. My doctor said it was a big stitch in the muscle. It never seems to get better.... so frustrating. Wondered what your situation is like since you had yours a day earlier?

Best, paige

Hi all - I was also sleeved 12/21 and have the same burning/pulling pain around the incisions on either side of my belly button. I'm still taking my pain meds every four hours (I took time off work so I'm just puttering around the house). I'm wondering if I am supposed to be weaning off the pain meds and trying to manage with just Tylenol?
