I am on day 17...and I still have a strong pain on my port side...I had the pharacist order me tylenol PM liquid (my doctor recommended that) and it helps me sleep more comfortable... My first week it was hard to drink water cause you cant gulp...and those little sips were killing me...but you can have italian ice, and it helps trmendously...the lemon and the quenching...they sell them at dominicks... I am in the mushy stage now...soup and potatos...mashed, baked, whetever... The first week was hard, your body is adjusting...it does get easier...the 2nd day after my surgery, i was shopping at target, the 3rd day, i was at the mall, and now i am walking 3 days a week...i push myself...i cannot take the pain med she (doctor) gave me cause narcotics make me vomit... but there is a light at the end of the tunnel...hang in there...

everyone I spoke to had to go on the liquid diet 1 week before surgery, including me...the reason for this is because they go in with the scope, and if your liver is filled with food, its hard for the, (the doctor) to lift up the liver with a stick, and my doctor said one time the liver was so heavy, she stoped the surgery and rescheduled. because if the stck breaks it can cause infection etc. i hope this helps you...fast on your own...you will loose weight pre-op

hi...well I refuse to get back on the scale until I go to the bathroom...i am soooo constipated. Any suggestions?? also i still have port pain...i cannot do sit-ups or crunchs cause it hurts badly when i bend...so i just been able to walk...anyone still have port pain...does anything help it?? night is the worst for me, its soooo hard to get comfortable!!
