Hi all.... 9/5 surgery date and doing okay so far.... Just focusing on protein quota & getting close to 60 oz. liquids.... Question re: surgery incisions... I have 5 total and all feel & look fine, except for the one the stomach was pulled out of... Still getting intense deep, sharp pain when laying down, turning in bed, or trying to rise from bed. Still taking pain meds at night for this. Trying to walk daily to work whatever this is out, but ... ...is anyone else experiencing a residual pain in their lower right abdomen. Maybe I'm a slow healer.... Or did too much too soon....

I'm feeling a bit sore in the abdomen, mostly near the incision where they took the stomach out. Pain meds are helping. Otherwise I feel fine & can walk around the house, make my own drinks, etc. I am tired as we'll but likely from getting woken up so often in the hospital. I and out in 2 days! Happy about that!

Had my surgery Friday and getting released today. All went well. I was nervous about the 2 week liquid diet prior to surgery because I ate some lean meat (Chicken, turkey) off the Atkins diet. I heard Atkins is another way to shrink your liver. Post-op I was told my liver looked great, was a "tiny" liver, so it all worked out. Wishing you all the best for your surgeries & a speedy recovery! Planning on a nice walk today at halftime! It's truly exciting starting this new chapter in my life!

My date is Sept 5th. Good luck to everyone!
