Had my surgery Monday still in hospital. This is the worst pain I have ever had. I've given birth 4 times my son was 10lbs10oz and that was nothing compared to this

I'm sorry to hear this. I found this much easier then 3- c sections. Everyone is different when it comes to pain and surgery.

Feel better soon

Violet, I am also 6 days out!! Yay!! I'm glad your pain is good. Mine however is bad. It's just one area where my JP drain is located. It is much better than in was 6 days ago but I still need pain meds to function normally.

Violet,

I should have said was. They pulled mine before I left the hospital on Sat. I'm very happy to hear your pain level is good. I'm looking forward to that day:) As long as I have pain meds I'm good. Lol! Other than that area the rest of my body is pain free. Maybe I was extra sensitive to the drain:( People keep suggesting gas pain. I get gas pains occasionally, too. The 2 pains are definitely different.

I went in surgery last friday, saturday at noon I left the hospital in Belgium, booked myself into a hotel for one night, drove 1100km up to Danmark sunday morning. My pain is almost gone, only 5 days after. So its very different for each person, but I do not regret anything :) but its gets better really fast, so just hang un there for a couple of days.

I never had a baby - but did have a 3rd degree burn. The actual burn pain was worst but it was in a localize area, this surgery make your entire inside hurts and puts you out for days and week. I didn't realize how your stomach controls your turning, coughing, sneezing, breathing, laughing etc. I'm on day 8 or 9 and the pain amount has gone down, but when it comes it's horrible!!

      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.
