I am still pre-op but i have read and re read my dietary instructions to make sure i got it down pat. my surgery is scheduled 1 week from today. are you up and moving from what i read and from what others on this site has said the more you move the better you feel. also you have to drink, drink, drink....with a pouch you can get dehydrated so so much easier, then you have to get your protien shakes in. I am also a nurse if that helps any. Everyone can get depressed after surgery but i think that once you are better hydrated and get your protien in, moving around and walking will come easier and all work togather to make you feel much better. hope this helps!!! good luck!!!!!

Sorry to hear you are having so much pain. I think if you keep your binder on and make sure to drink the protien that will really help. I have a bit of pain still in my sides and on my incision. Make sure to drink all your water too and ask your Dr for some pain meds if its bad. good luck Patty
