Have some discomfort. Nurses have been great. I dislike the catheter but am glad I don't have to struggle to get up and pee right now. Overall doing well and blessed that no nausea as of yet.

I get to come home today. Doctor just left and told me about my surgery and how good my liver looked and how ugly my gall bladder was... lol. He said I was doing really well and if I wanted to go home I could.

They dosed me up with several anti nausea meds prior to surgery and gave me Pepcid. Call your doc office and see what they recommend for you. Only time I got nauseated was doing the swallow test. I hit my highest pain level this afternoon after the swallow test to check for leeks.

I pray you get comfort soon.

I found the page but how do I locate the group. The page just shows thank toys to supporters and a few recipes.

Edit..... I figured it out I blame the pain meds... lol

I am home and have my recliner set up with everything around me. Now to get the husband to quit being a mother hen for a bit and I may be able to catch some zzz's because they don't let you rest well in a hospital. I have an amazing husband and he is so good to me so I should just let him pamper me. :)

This first night home is rough.

Couldn't agree more Paula, I'm in so much pain it's almost unbearable, and all I keep doing is questioning myself on why I did this, here's hoping today will be a better day.

Did they not send you home with pain medicine? Is it not a strong dosage? I have discomfort but no severe pain. But I am taking my pain meds as prescribed and not waiting for it to wear off before next dose.

If you don't get relief from your pain by morning I think you should call your doctor and get some stronger meds. No reason to hurt that bad after a surgery.

      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?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
