My pain was pretty much gone when I left the hospital. I took non narcotic pain meds twice when I got home and stopped because of the taste. but it was manageable without meds.

Omg I'm so jealous! .. I did have the liquid Tylenol to help.

Where they liquid or chewable tylenol? Or did you crush tylenol?

They gave me liquid in the hospital the last 2 days because I requested it. I'm a recovering addict and wanted off narcotics fast. I crushed them at home.

I had surgery on the 18th of April and was released from the hospital late on the 19th. I am having trouble eating/drinking enough hydrating and Protein due to pain and nausea. I spent yesterday in the emergency room getting fluids. I spoke to the surgeons and they have told me just to try to get in whatever I am able to. They also told me to take simethicone for the gas.

So sorry to hear you are having trouble. I had my surgery at the first of the month. I struggle daily with getting enough Water and Protein. Had to try tons of stuff before I am starting to find what works for me. Sobe water was easier for me and I start as soon as I wake up and keep one in my hand or by my side every single minute of the day. I also eat a lot of sugar-free popsicles (every little bit of Fluid counts!). I still don't get the entire amount but I am close and getting closer. I have read lots about protein causing nausea and vomiting - although you don't hear much about it - it is a thing. I went through a good deal of money and days of not feeling well to figure out what worked for me. In the end, I suffered through the liquid diet portion with as much protein as I could manage without being put down - unfortunately I was sickly feeling most days. Now that I am in week #4 I am eating as much of my protein as I can. After trying every recommended Protein Powder in every way imaginable (mixed with Jello, food, etc.), Protein Bars, and protein powder recipes... I know that my body just CANNOT process that stuff. I get it in with my "meals". It's the first thing I eat. Now if I can get in more greens I think I can survive ;)

I hope it is somewhat helpful to know that there are others having trouble similar to your experience. Thankfully I haven't had to resort to the ER but early on there were a couple of days I probably should have.

I wish you all the best for a speedy breakthrough. Hang in there and please let me know if there's anything I can do or if you just need to chat with someone.

      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!!
