I wanted to say that my surgery went great, they didn't have to give me oxygen mask during surgery. My cheeks were tan & rosy after surgery. Only felt nausea, "hunger" pains and bloating. I thought it was going to be worse. Now I'm trying to get nutrition in, just feel too bloated all the time, but I have done alot of walking & drinking water---and yes I am doing the liquid diet with protein shakes until a week after surgery.

Congrats!!! I think the bloating is from the anesthesia and a test for leaks that the doctor does. From what I understand it goes away. The "hunger" pains scare me a bit. I'm going in tomorrow and I haven't been allowed anything but clear liquids since yesterday - and I am HUNGRY!!! I don't want to be hungry when the surgery is over. Again...congrats Kate

Thanks for the well wishes. I did the clear liquids before surgery, it's awful especially the day of surgery. I was lucky that my liver wasn't swollen and my doctor was able to do laprascopic. What I meant by hunger pains is how I compared the feeling. My stomach would contract a little (it felt like a baby kicking). I knew I wasn't hungry (remember, they give you dextrose in iv to sustain you). I wasn't given food until 24hrs after surgery, and that was broth, gelatin, apple juice & some kind of diluted jello. Well I wish you well, on your surgery date and I pray that everything goes smoothly. I'm sure you'll not feeling a thing when they're in surgery, and nausea is common after surgery. Best wishes, Claudia
