I'm done. Yesterday, Surgery day, was rough, but I made it through it. The hardest part was trying to drink Water and I couldn't figure out why I couldn't keep it down turns out it was nausea, but I didn't feel like I was going to throw up. This morning around 6 AM I asked for nausea medicine and have been a successful drinker since then, 1/2oz at a time. I drank 20 oz in 2.5 hrs.

The gas pains are intense and my fat stomach looks bloated. I told my wife she could rub it and it would bring her good luck. She would not.

Dr sent a piece of my liver to get a biopsy. He told my wife I had fatty liver disease. I don't know what that is, but when he comes to release me today I will ask.

Good to see you're getting released today. I'll keep the nausea medicine in mind when I go in Monday. The doctor told me I won't be released till I dink enough water. Have they done a leak test, yet?

[the-Russ 91]

They did a leak test during surgery and did not do another one. I'm not just going home. I'm on my way to my sons football game.

I have drank 30 oz of Water and two pop cycles today. I feel good. Definitely do not feel like I got my stomach removed.

I was the same way. Leak test done during procedure. I'm 5 days postop and I don't really feel like I've had the surgery. No pain, no nausea, no problems getting Protein and liquids in, etc. I have a little shoulder pain and am a little sore when I wake up in the morning. I'm just about completely off pain meds. I take some Tylenol in the morning to help with the soreness, but probably could do fine without. The soreness is less than what you feel after a good workout.

Do you take liquid Tylenol? Do they make that?

Most of my soreness is because of the gas. I have bad pain in my shoulders too. Everyone says it lasts a couple days, but it sounds like I may need to plan for longer.

I'm gonna go home and make a Protein Shake then take a nap.

[maj0rl0ser 21]

Yes, they make liquid acetaminophen for adults. Should be able to get it at about any grocery or pharmacy.

[the-Russ 91]

Do Protein Shakes made with Water count as your daily water intake?

[nj8988 18]

How did it go?

Made it to the other side, no problems at all so far (knock on wood).

[nj8988 18]

Do Protein Shakes made with Water count as your daily water intake?

Depends who you ask, but I would say yes. I haven't had any trouble getting or keeping water down, 2-3 oz at a time, just have to hold up if i feel the stomach pushing back a little.

Would agree that the pain from the surgery is nothing compared to the gas? I really didn't use the morphine pump, as I knew I still had that incredibly uncomfortable gas situation. It really didn't get better until I started drinking liquids.

I bet. I watched my family eat last night and wanted to nibble. I'm not hungry, I just wanted something other than liquid.

My surgery is Tues 22nd at 1pm. starting to get a little nervous thinking about everything. Looking forward to the other side though.

I felt the same way. I second guessed everything until they gave me the go to sleep shot.

I am 2days post-op and I'm great. The stress is normal.
