I actually got a refill of my pain meds from my doctor and I feel a LOT better. Hopefully the next week or so will ho by quickly and I'll begin to feel better soon. Thanks for your support guys... I really needed it today!

My doctor said it will get easier and it giving me more percocet. I really wish I never did it.

I'm sure eventually I will feel differently, but as of right now... nine days post-op, I have some serious buyers remorse. This is the most physically painful thing I've ever been through... and I've had three babies - by c-section none the less. I can't take feeling this way anymore.

Haha yeah I've been sending all sorts of funny texts on painkillers lol! One week out... how are you feeling? I feel pretty good... I just really miss chewing food lol. It's been over three weeks since I've actually chewed real food and swallowed!

Yeah I had my doctor write me anoyher prescription today gor motr percocet (notice the spelling errors haha ( abd and now I'm feeling much better ;)

It was definitely very difficult, but I stuck it put (cheated only twice with a small salad) and here I am five days port-op. When you get discouraged, please, please, please don't give up! You'll get through it!

Just out of curiosity, what and how much pain relief did your surgeon send you home with? Mine gave me less than two days of the liquod percocet and I'm in agony.

Agreed... I think that when I was feeling better, I did too much anf I'm paying for it now. I'm actually sleeping downstairs in the recliner tonight too, because it seems like the most comfortable place. On a plus side, I did poop today (TMI I know) but I figured that's probably a good sign...

Maybe I spoke too soon... I'm actually having a lot of pain now! :(

Glad to hear yours went well! Mine went very well... I got home this morning and other than a little discomfort around my incision sites, I feel great!

Hey! How'd it go? I feel pretty good! Little sore and ready to get home to my kids, but overall really excited that it's over with! Hope you are feeling well!

Thanks Everybody! Feeling great and ready to get out of this hospital and home to my boys!

Thanks Everyone! Everything went well!

Surgery first thing tomorrow morning! Wish me luck!!!

Well after the first week or torture, I can finally say that I feel like I have gotten beyond the hunger. I feel sooo much better now.

My surgeon has me drinking the Carnation Breakfast Essentials (5 g protein) with one cup Simply Smart Fat Free Milk (10 g protein) three times a day, plus a Fat Free Greek Yogurt (12 g protein). So I'm getting 57 grams of protein a day, but it's not doing it for me. Honestly, I think I need...

I've almost made it through the first week of my pre-op liquid diet and I am really struggling! I know what you're all going to say... it's really important for my liver and I need to get used to the dietary changes that will be necessary after surgery, bla bla bla. I get it. I just...

Hi Sigourney :) I thought I was emotionally ready for my surgery, but now that the date is approaching, I'm starting to get really nervous! I also need to get my house in order so that my husband and my kids have everything they need while I'm in the hospital. I work as a visiting nurse, so...

Well I hope you feel better! I am starting to get very nervous for my surgery.
