What can I expect when I wake up? I have my surgery on 12/27

Merry Christmas everyone.

I have surgery in 2 days. I started my liquid fast today. I will do my clean out tomorrow. Any advice to make that process easier or is it as awful as I hear :)? I am excited but nervous for surgery.

I am doing this surgery without any support. Nobody agrees with it so they are all just not helping me. I will get dropped off and picked up at the curb. I knew that going into this but it is starting to bother me a bit. Oh well.

I was just wondering what I can expect when I wake up? How is the pain? I don't have a very high pain threshold so I am a little nervous....especially when I come home to my four kids and won't be able to take the pain meds.

Also wondering how the constipation is. Did they give you anything to help? I heard it can get bad on pain meds. Thanks for reading and any feed back you can get.

I would love to meet some people and maybe start our own support group.

Thanks so much. Happy holidays.

Wow. I am jealous of so many of you and your pain experience. I just posted a blog of how terrible mine was. Unbearable!

As far as pooping, I pooped straight up liquid yesterday. Anyone else do that? Without solids I don't know what poop should be like. I think I'll take something cause I do not want to get constipated!

Mine was runny and gross for about 14 days after surgery. Then it started going back to normal, although much less of it.
