Surgery Monday

My surgery date is scheduled for this coming monday. I am scared out of my mind, but also excited at the same time. I can't help but worry about the diet stages going into this because I am ALWAYS hungry. I can not image that I am not going to be hungry or that protien drinks are going to fill me up. Pain is the thing i am affraid of most, I do not want to be in a lot of pain. any advise I just want to  have this with no complications EVER

Good luck with your surgery on Monday.  You WON'T be hungry after surgery.  You may have some head hunger, but your stomach will not feel the hunger like it does now.  Most people don't believe that, but, for most people, it's true. 

The worst pain for me was the pain from the gas they pump your belly up with.  Walking is the best way to get it moving.  Try not to stress too much.  You'll have a pain pump while you are in the hospital and liquid pain meds for at home.  I only used the meds at home the first night, then I never took them again. 

Just try to relax and breathe............You're in great hands!

Keep us posted on your progress!

Well all,

I made it thru............... can't say i did so without any issues but here I am. I am two weeks out tomorrow and feeling a LOT better. I am having a real hard time getting my protein and water in daily but I will keep trying. I am down 16lbs from the day of surgery.  
Tomorrow I am allowed to start eating canned chicken, mashed potatoes, applesauce and scrabbled eggs. Can't wait for that, I thought maybe  I would try one new thing a day and see how that goes.
