mca98 you will be sore and have some gas pains, sipping your liquids and walking (just get up and move alittle bit-not on a long walk-LOL) will help so everyone tells me on here. I didn't have much gas pains, mine were from my hernia being repaired at the same time. At first you will find it hard to drink as much as you are suppose to, but that will come with time. Once you get to the mushy food stage you'll be saying I'll be happy when I can eat real foods again...LOLRH!!! You will do just fine...hang in there and use us for your support...let me know if you need any info!!! Take care and best wishes and don't be nervous (although that is normal too)...wasn't sure how I felt the morning of my surgery, was just ready to get on with my life. God bless sweetie!!!

I almost passed this topic by...I'm nearly 15 months post op and tend not to reply to these types of questions. But I did want to let you know that it's very common to be nervous. You are starting a new journey and like anything unknown, there is much concern on your part...and that much I can always relate to.

If it helps at all, I was just as worried and nervous as you are but I am now at goal weight and doing better than I ever expected. Wishing you much success!

My blood pressure was high from nerves before surgery. Woke up with minimal discomfort and only got better from there. Good luck
