How are your incisions?

They are fine - 6 incisions (don't know why so many) Very little pain from the incisions.

I last took pain meds last night to help me sleep, & haven't taken any today.

The best thing about today though - taking a shower!!! It felt so good!

I have five. and with me too, not really pain in stomach. It just hurts getting up out of bed. I'm still on full liquids, going to start pureed foods tomorrow. Good luck to u!

Hope it went well for you and you are recuperating well!

Keep us updated on your progress!

My surgery is scheduled for tomorrow at 1130 am. I'm very nervous but also excited. I'm hoping everything goes well!

The hospital totally screwed me. I was supposed to go in at 1130am..didn't go in until 8pm! Today I'm a little dizzy still but my stomach is healing pretty well.

I finally have my hunger back. Last night I thought i was beginning to feel hungry, and I confirmed that when I woke up this morning with a growling stomach. I can't wait to be able to start eating oatmeal beginning tuesday!

Only a couple of days to go, Eric! How funny is it to be excited over oatmeal?

Well... I was out visiting the guys at the fire house this morning & decided to check the scale while I was there (i don't have a scale at home). I'm down almost 7 pounds since my surgery just 5 days ago! It was great to see!!!

Thats great!

I sure can't wait to find out what my post op diet is like - the doctor didn't want to go over it until after the surgery (though I know it is low carb) because he says he wants you to focus on this stage before and then focus on the other stage after. I guess that makes sense........
