Hello all i had my surgery 07/11/2008 at the Doctors hospital at white rock lake. The surgery was preformed by Dr. Wade Barker. I dont rmrber being in the recovery (people have told that i was talking and asking question) but the pain that i felt was like a 18 wheeler was sitting on my stomach. But today Sunday the 13th i feel i whole lot better, just mainly sore. I havent began my proten yet, the Dr. in the hospital told me i need to drink 4-5 oz of fluid ever hour thats hard. can someone please give me some insit on this. I am trying i feel so tried and full ..

I was on liquid diet for 10 days prior to surgery. Water, clear juice(apple, cranberry,etc),jello, broth.

thank you..I'll let you know how all goes. and good luck with yours.

well this is just me - i had what i wanted until 3 days before then i cut WAY back you can not have nothing to eat after 9pm the night before not even water ok. and right before you stop start eating kids meals that will be a kings meal when it all said and done trust me im on 3oz right now and it fills me up i had my surgery on 7-8-08, when they said a LIFE CHANGE THEY MEAN EVERY WORD!! you have to be relaxed and willing to give up those big meals and soda (even diets) juices anything with sugar ANYTHING. and you MUST CUT BACK or on 7-24th will be a bigger day then you think. 2 things can happened 1- you can get rejected and turned around because you did not cut back on your food intake, 2- you DID and they give you IV and you are on your way to a thiner YOU. ITS ALL UP TO YOU. Check out my profile and my tracker i start at 275 my surgery i as at 222.5 and now today 4 days later im at 206.1 smooches you can do it keep in touch
