Faith did your Dr. Give u nausea medicine? When I through up it was just from motion sickness and the medicine helped tremendously. That's what that had me use in the hospital to because I would dry heave when I moved around. I hope u feel better!

Oh, I use my abdominal binder sometimes but it's not really comfortable with this drain tube. I don't get that removed until Tuesday.

Hello everyone glad to hear you're all doing well. I'm doing good still a little pulling sensation on my incisions but not really any pain. Most days I don't even take pain meds so that's a plus. I haven't been getting in my protein like I should so il trying something new today. I'm going shopping for new protein drinks, decaf tea etc. if you have any faves that I should try let me know.

Hey Pretty I'm doing good! For those of you that didn't get the abdominal binder you need to. It's awesome. I'm going home today. After dealing with the late night crew I'm ready too. I did everything for myself. They had me sit here over an hour waiting on a cup of ice water. I've been daring my own fluids, cleaning myself unhooking myself probably moved a few items that were to heavy. I'm reporting them all this morning. I even had to go weigh myself when they are supposed to bring the scale to you???? good luck to you all! Keep us posted! I believe shay goes in today so good luck to her! Everything will be fine!

Ok Shay I believe today is your day! Good luck we are cheering for you! Keep us posted!

Ok I'm still in the hospital. O go home tomorrow. What I have noticed is the midnight crew is extremely lazy. They don't answer any of my request. I'm going to let my Dr, know tomorrow because this is ridiculous. My ac is not working I can't even get a fresh/cold cup of water. Yet they tell me to get my fluids in. S,dh????

Good luck to everyone having surgery today! My surgery went great. I don't let the pain sit in because I make sure they keep me drugged. I've done a lot of walking and a lot of sleeping even with all the beeps. My back is where I feel the pain. I'm glad all my buddies are doing good! Keep us posted on your updates.

Thx! I've already checked in!

I did manage a 30 minute nap. We're all moving around now because its almost time to head out the door. No turning back now! We're going to do great! Sendings prayers your way!

I don't have to use the wash but from what I've read on here its for the surgical site. I wouldn't put it on my face. Good luck!

Good luck to all my bypass buddies today! Yes I said it today because its actually here. We are finally going to the hospital, I'll be thinking of all of you! Keep us posted. I don't feel sleepy at all but hopefully I can close my eyes for about 2 hours. I'm excited and nervous at the same time! I'm even excited bout not having to go to work!

Ok I'm checking on my bypass buddies. R y'all ready? I'm nervous and excited all in one. Less than 4 hours to get to the hospital. Good luck!

Thank you! I'm praying for you too! I've got a lot of nervous energy right now. I wonder if I'll be able to get about 3 hours of sleep.

Thx everybody! I'm having my last shake of the night trying to ensure I get as many fluids in as possible before I head out. I'm all packed. The kids are taking my bags to the car. I also have a pillow and a very soft throw. I want to wish my bypass buddies good luck and I will try to check on everyone before they knock me out!

Congrats to you both! The time is going to go by so fast! I'm already wondering where my morning went. I have to be at the hospital at 5 in the morning. I hope I can sleep tonight. I'm trying to get in as many liquids as possible because I know after midnight I've got to cut it off for hours. Continue to keep us posted and I'll do the same!

Looking good!

You look great!

You look good! I can really see the weight loss.

Have you purchased any of your post op items yet? I finished up today.

I know exactly what you're going through. I just looked at the clock a few minutes ago and said that I've lost the majority of my day. Monday will be here before we know it. We're going to do GREAT! Are you all packed? What r u taking with u? I think I've over packed. I may take some things out of my bag. I'll check on u tomorrow. In the mean time hum if u need me. We can do this!

I think not being able to have any liquids after midnight Sunday is going to be the hard part. How are y'all doing on your pre-op diets if you had to have one? Are you already packed? I am I've just got a few last minute things to pick up.

Hey surgery buddy! It will be Sunday at midnight before you know it. We probably won't get any sleep because we're so excited! What time do you have to be at the hospital?
