So today was the day. It's finally here. I was so beyond nervous. I woke up from surgery completely sore and in pain. It hurt so bad I wanted to cry. A few hours later and I'm feeling a bit better. I've been able to sip Water, I have no appetite at all. Make sure to bring Chapstick to the hospital!!! It's a must!!! Im scheduled to go home tomorrow. I'm so excited that my day finally came. I'm looking forward to all the positive changes that are to come. How's everyone else feeling after their surgery?

Sleep is about the same... A few hours at night. I had a lot of neck pain but it passed after a few days. I'm doing better getting liquids down.... Except my protein shakes. They are grossing me out. I never had a problem before. But I am starting to get hungry now lol. My Dr. Didn't say I could have anything other than clear liquids til after a week. I'm still sore. But I am gonna try a light walk tonight. After it cools down.

That's exactly how I feel... Maybe it's gas?!?! I can feel every sip going down. The dr. Said I might get too much air in when I sip...

The time will come sooner than you think!! Where are you located?

It's funny. I read tons, I took the class, but I didn't realize how I would feel after the surgery. I'm a little sad. I know it's only been a few days but I don't like being in pain or not being able to do anything. At least I can get a little more liquids in!!!

Awesome!!!! Congrats to you and your success!!!

You are not the only one who feels horrible. All the liquids we need... It's not happening for me. I'm lucky if I can get 16 oz down so far. I'm in a lot of pain. I didn't realize how much this would hurt. I hope it gets better for both of us!!!

I had surgery on Oct 1st. Came home yesterday. I'm feeling awful. I'm in so much pain. It hurts to sit, walk, sleep. I can't get in 64ozs of liquids. Did anyone else have a problem with that? I am so nauseated. I pray this goes away. I literally just want to cry from how sick I feel.

congrats!!!

So day 2... Wow feel like I got hit by a truck. Discharged home. My throat is killing me from the tube they put down it for the anesthesia. My Dr. told me I had a hernia and that it was very common... Just my luck!!! I know this will be worth it. But I can't wait til I feel better.

I was referred for a sleep study. I decided not to do it. I still had surgery. I did have an EKG which was mandatory. Good luck!!

I have Kaiser Permanente Insurance. The hospital is in Harbor City, CA.

Thanks all!!! I appreciate all the well wishes!!

Thanks so much!

I am October 1st. Harbor city.

Good for you!!!! I can't wait to go back to the gym after I'm ok'd by the surgeon... It's gonna be different going once surgery is over.

30 pounds!!!! That's awesome!!!

I am also October 1st. I still can't believe I am doing this. My dr. Told me to try Pilates after I'm well enough to help with the skin. My all liquid diet starts Sunday. Is anyone else as nervous as I am?

Can anyone tell me what the average wait time to re start exercising is after surgery?
