How did your surgery go ? The stomach pain hasnt really been much of an issue with me, its getting the fluids in, my chest hurts so bad even with only enough of a sip to wet my mouth, and let some trickle down. I can tell today that I am dehydrated, so I picked up some gatorade, hope it helps. I havent taken pain or nausea meds since Wednesday, so doing okay without them. I had blurred vision and thought meds may be the cause. Alot of burping, with pain going on, how aboutr you ? I weighed today and I am down 30 lbs since start of preop. But I know if I let myself stay dehydrated, my body will store fat, so I'm working on it. Hope you are recovering well !!! Can't wait to get away from the liquid stage, to see what a bite of something is like ? How about being hungry ? I havent had the slightest hunger feeling, which is awesome, hope it stays that way !

Good luck on your surgery today!
Sending you positive vibes!

Oh the first 3 days of Preop were super hard, I just felt horrible, dizzy, starving, had the shakes, headache. Once I got through that 3rd day I started feeling better and have done fine. Thought about cheating a couple times, but then I'd grab a popsicle

I saw we are having surgery on the same day, and our weight isn't too far off of each other. Was thinking we could bounce stuff off each other ? Good Luck, prayers your way for a successful surgery & speedy recovery.

Thank you for welcoming aboard. :-)
