I was wondering if any of you found that you have had a hard time focusing? Have you felt more ditzy since surgery? If so- how long did it last?

Hey! Dr. Ku used to be at Reading. He is a phenomenal Dr. Good Luck.

Everyone having surgery on 12.10.12, lets get together so we can discuss & compare our journey. I'm so excited. 2 more weeks!!! How are you all doing/feeling??

Amen. pizza is my weakness. I'd like to purée some of that and eat it! Lol. Not so healthy though. I can't wait to get to puréed cuz things will taste so much better but I am really taking it slow because sometimes just full liquids if they are the slightest bit too thick get stuck & does that EVER hurt! Ouch!

Omg! Nausea while on a moving vehicle at all. I get all sweaty and anxious. Not fun. Hope you feel better.

I had my surgery on 12/10. I have one lap site that is SO painful!! It hurts so much!! Especially in the evening. It is NOT red, swollen or inflamed. It is just so painful. It feels just the way it did after surgery. Pretty much no better! And it's been a week! I'm so annoyed by this because otherwise I feel I am doing great. What can I do to make this better? What can I do to help the pain? I've tried heat, cold, the only thing that helps is not really moving- but I'm not about to stay still & get a blood clot! Ugh!

Yes it was the biggest one & today I really feel like a million bux. Finally exactly one week later I feel a lot better. Thanks!

Got sleeved on the 10th. Doing really well now too! Hard week though.

How r u guys doing??

I have always been a little gassy with dairy- but it is out if hand right now. Can I take lactaid?

I am 5 days out starting full liquids.

Listening to you all I'm thinking I'm doing terribly. I had my surgery on 12/10. I have been in pain ever since. I have this one lap site- the one most of the surgery was done through- it hurts so much- it's even sucked in a little bit- like the skin and fat and muscle is buckled like it sutured really tight in there. If it weren't for that- I don't think I would need the pain meds- but I've been using them religiously because if I don't- I'm in terrible pain. Sometimes intake half the Vicodin half just regular Tylenol- that seems to help. Gas pain is annoying but I'm dealing with it. I've been staying hydrated but haven't had a BM yet. I think I'm going to do a dulcolax suppository for that today. I'm not doing bad- I just don't feel like I'm doing great. :-( you all seem to be doing great. I can't wait to get to the point where I feel we'll again. I am not doing that great with full liquids- they nauseate me a bit. I handle the clears much better. One thing I can say is that thankfully I'm not vomiting & I haven't vomited once. Please pray for me.

Still super uncomfortable. Feel like if this one lap site would just stop hurting, we'd be ok,'. But it is so sore!! Ugg. Any advice?

Post op day 3. Things I am grateful for: pain meds, recliner, heating pad. But mostly- my wonderful family & friends. Shew... My head is spinning from the meds & belly feels like popping from air. Wish me luck!

Well- today was my surgery & it turns out I'm still here. Post op- right after waking up I was in so much pain. Now it is much much better. Turns out no foley needed- yay! But I did have a bit of trouble peeing at first. Love y'all! Thanks?!

Omg! I know! Me too! I hate that stuff- Greek yogurt.

So excited for you! Mine is on Monday he 10th! I'm so excited for you!!
