alovio

i took mine with but nurse said that i didnt have to use it. with help of morphine pump i selpt like a baby first night. take it with you just in case. But i never used mine. Back at home i still continue to use it daily

you'll be fine, I am 10 post op. First week you wont want to eat just drink. I remember day of surgery I was hungry. I rmebr thinking im gonna wake up hungry, that wasnt the case, I woke up in pain the first 45 minutes after surgery are the worst because of nausea and gas but after its piece of cake. Rigt now i am on mushies so nothing solid , its funny how 1/2 cup of Soup fills me up and makes me feel satisfied. dont worry eventually you can eat all favorite foods just at a smaller amounts. good luck and remember you making right choice for a healthier longer life.

How far out can I eat chili from wendys.. im 4 days post op

im 8 days post op i had chili, I put in a blender and liquified it. tastes same delicious

today i made turkey chili Beans, but im only 7 days post op. so i blenderized them to a puree. man oh man yummy. plus its great Protein turkey and beans. i can only have half a cup but it filled me up.

your not suppose to eat anything, just drink. i hated chicken broth so i put a can of campells chicken noodle Soup in blender and liquified it, yummy. popsicles were easy for me. I seem to like cold liquids more than warm liquids. you'll get better i am 7 day post op today, just remember if you crave something dont do it you'll get sick . let your sleeve heal. good luck .....oh walk walk walk......i am walking six miles a day as of today good way to release the gases

late snack i have a suger free Gelatin, only 5 calories, 6 days post op.........matter of fact just had one

I don't mean to brag but I feel really good today. I have been doing good with my protiens yesterday took down 1 1/2 bottle of Isopure and you know not to taste but with ice chips really cold not so bad. Had trouble with chicken broth tasted like sh*t, so I took a can of cambells chicken noodles Soup and liquified it in blender it was so good. I also have been walking about 5 miles a day broken up to four diff walks. This morning I moved stage two had a premier choclate shake that was really good cold, also had some plain cream of wheat not bad I added two splenda for flavor. Right now I feel a bit hungry but will have another chicken noodles when I get home, I only took about 4 oz of soup with small spoon. Felt full afterwards. I have lost 15 pounds since surgery on 4/20. And 79 since Nov. Looking toward to moving to mushies next week. I think I will go back to work a week from today. I am a barber so need to stand all day but I feel ill be ready by next week. Hope everybody is doing well also.

Isopure are zero calorie protien drinks 20 oz bottle has 40g of protien. There ok but don't taste that great. But its best way to get the protien in. Ya I'm getting 1/2 drinks down, sometimes I feel the drink go all the way down. But I am doing pretty good on liquids.

Well last night i slept pretty well, went to sleep with my cpap machine but must have taken it off at night. Woke up real early at about 630 felt a bit disconfort. Yesterday i did liquids all day motly Water and 1/2 bottle of Isopure took my chewable Vitamin. So this morning went for an early morning walk not long maybe 1/4 mile, woke up with lots of gas walk seem to help. came home started on another bottle of isopure grape flavor not to bad when cold. but i only take 1/2 ounce sips. I am using a 1 ounce cup they gave me at hospital. I also had 1 ounce of gello and my chewable vitamin. Then i took a nap. woke up pretty well took my first shower since operation felt great. then went on another 1/4 mile walk. Right now i feel real good. Gonna start on other half of isopure bottle this time fruit punch. im gonna have some chicken broth for lunch. but really not hungry strange because i am a food guy. taking it easy but feeling really good. Ill keep you posted later today see if i feel different.

Last night was pretty comfortable. I had morphine pump at my disposal. I slept rather well. Today I feel pretty sore but nothing like imagined. Pain is about 4. Already went for two walks to get blood moving. Just started liquids. Nurse says one tiny cup per half hour. It's amzing but felt kind of full sensation with first cup. I should get released later today, ready to go home.ill keep everyone posted as I go.

I'm still at hospital. First of all Kaiser permente is best, couldn't have made it easier.Op went well felt extreame pain about an 8, probably not naausia then anything first 45 minutes after. Once they hooked morphine pump veena smooth sailing. Already went for two times

, already took my first leak. Tomarrow start with liqueds and liquid pain meds. I Thu.k everyone is differnent because this lady that went after me, she sound like they best her with a bat. Once the give anesthesia you knock out a.d wake up in recovery. I expect it to be harder but over all I am super saftisfied.

I'm in my room now , I so far have had it rather easy. Pains at 5, pain pump helps. Most pain wAs first 45 after surgery, burped it all away. We'll see how goes tomarrow. So far its been pretty easy, knock on wood probate ly hunch myself. Goodnite god bless

About to leave to my surgery, i would be lieing if i said i wasnt nervous, please say prayer for myself and all other people having surgery this friday. god bless, i am posting a before pic.
