Ouch! I'm not pulling anything outta my chest' date=' that's gotta hurt

Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk[/quote']

Mine was in my lower right abdomen. I had my dad pull it out (he can handle gross things) and I didn't even feel it. The drain on the other hand was very disturbing when they pull it out at the hospital.

I had a drain but they took it out the day after surgery. The kicker is they left the drain site open (2in wide 3in deep) I have to pack it with gauze every day. It sucks but they say it needs to heal from the inside out so it doesn't get infected

Mine didn't hurt either it was just weird pulling long tubes out of my chest.

I was talking about the OnQ. It was in my lower right abdomen, not my chest.

      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.
