I know that c-section pain. I had two-one emergency. One day really soon you will wake up and zip- pain is gone. Meditating and relaxing helped me.

Thanks Sassy I had just bought mediation DVD and some books, I'm relaxing too.. I just feel like an invalid, and want to cry when I stand up I have to hold my fat roll up against my stomach so I can walk !

Btb yes they cut a muscle and some nerves and then stitch it back together' date=' muscle or nerve causes unbearable pain because of the pulling and healing. Friends that have had cesearn sections have told me the same.....OUCH no pain meds work![/quote']

I must have had some strong meds for my last emergency csection and other complicated ab surgeries

Worst part is the liquid Lortab which is Vicodin doesn't touch the pain..

I haven't seen my surgeon in like two months funny how its different in many places. I have been talking to his secretary for anythong that ove needed so far but had my pre-op appointment on Friday, everything seemed to go well as I was cleared for surgery. I am super excited and super nervous, just have this wave of emotions going through me right now. I have to be on Clear liquids Monday , don't know what time my surgery is but hopefully its early, I will be waiting for the call Monday afternoon that will let me know. I wish you the best of luck and hope everything goes well.

Wow u don't know? Mine is at 730am and I have to be there at 530.... Have to get kids ready for inlaws and mom is staying at nearby hotel.... I had to know every detail... Type A personality.... And in this uncertainty I felt needed to control at least the little I could... :-) I am hopeful and prayerful it will all go well. I need to be able to work and get back to working out and being active with my little boys and younger hubby ( ;-) )

My surgeons Physicians assistant, his nutritionist and his personal assistant call me once a week each to check on me, calm fears with facts, adjust diet as needed and encouragement.... All women... Love it!

I am chuckling! My dear daughter who is working on her masters thesis came home and made me a surgery play list for my iPhone with relaxing/meditative/positive songs. Got up this morning and started it. First song: Andy Grammer's Keep Your Head Up! "Gotta keep your head up.......you'll turn out fine!"

My theme song!

      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.
