I'm sorry but this Jp drain is coming out tomorrow and I couldn't be happier!!!!!! It is so tender and I can't move an inch without it hurting! Can somebody tell me what to expect when the drain come out? Does it hurt worse than it already does?

OK the feeling is so hard to explain. Mine was very uncomfortable like yours. I mean miserable. If it got touched once it hurt do bad. I personally thought it was a very odd uncomfortable borderline painful thing

It really isn't painful, but it still kind of is. Just breath out when they r doing it..good luck...u will b able to relax do much once it is out :)

It doesn't hurt just uncomfortable. Just keep breathing the whole time. The sensation surprised me and I accidentally held my breath.

Because mine flipped, it was the worst pain I have even experienced. It is rare that it flips through...just my luck. I would ask if they can give pain meds before hand. Most people say it just feels weird. It takes about a less than 30 sec to get it out.

It didn't hurt at all to come out and I felt 100x better with that literal PAIN out! Lol mine was also very sore when it was in and I has almost instant relief when it was removed.

Silly question, but what is a drain?

its an abdomen drain with a tube that drains excess Fluid after surgery into a ball dangling by your side. Youtube it....JP Drain

I didn't have any pain when my drain was removed. It was more like that sinking sensation from a roller coaster and it was over in a second. :)

I guess I was one of the fortunate ones that didn't have a drain... Good luck.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?
