Here I am, 2 days after surgery and I'm doing ok,,,lot of pain from the air they pump in you,,, chest and shoulder hurt way more than the cuts do. The port site give me a lot of discomfort when I need to cough or blow my nose,,, then of course, if I move wrong,,, but I'm sure it will be all worth it by the time this all passes. Although, yesterday, 1 day out from surgery I was really wondering why I had done this to myself,,, pretty miserable day it was. Took the pain meds, a suppository for nausia and slept very well in the recliner :huh2: I've been trying to sip on water, broth and some gello, but really not wanting to eat anything,,, doing it for the dehydration thing. Don't want that to happen,,, one hospital stay was quite enough thank you, lol:bored:

AND,,,, my weight is now down 20 pounds from Oct. 7th, day I started liquid diet. yaaaaaaaaaa meeeeeeeee

20lbs wow... Keep up the good work.

I am 5 days out, and I can relate to the pain! Make sure you walk (my Dr recommended 20 minutes 3 times a day) just to get that gas moving. And keep sipping your water! It will help, too!

Hang in there - each day is better than the day before! We did not do this for nothing!

Congrads it will all be worth it in the end....As each passing day goes by it gets better...

Hang in there, and CONGRATS! Keep those fluids going!

hang in there.

when did you have surgery... thurs? me too. i'm having such bad gas. cant stop belching and it makes the band and belly hurt!
