Its my husbands first day home and 3rd day post op he is very happy to be home, but I have noticed its a little harder to keep him drinking fluids at home. I have enlisted the help of our kids, every time they walk by dad they ask him if he has drank something. It seems to be helping we went for a slow walk around our neighborhood park and he did great, the more he walks the easier it is to pass his gas, which means less belly pain. He is having sugar free jello 2oz every 15 min and will have some pain yogurt later today. He is trying to sleep but in a house with 3 kids, its a little hard. Hopefully this means he will sleep through the night. good luck to all the post ops and the future ops, your future is in your hands

Im glad I could help

My husband is 1 day post op and I can tell you from the other side of the coin what he might be feeling.... At about 2 months pre op I started to feel a little neglected by my husband. And let me tell you, he is usually very attentive to me. I guess I started feeling jealous of the time and attention he started putting into preparing for the surgery. I supported him 100% and i am willing to help him all the way, but I did feel like something was already coming between us. one day I sat him down and talked to him about this, and he reassured me he is still interested in my life too. I quickly got over it and we were back to normal. I have been by his side from the beginning and will always support him, like I know he is for me

Thank god my husband seems to be doing great, he is up n walking and his bp is normal n blood sugar too, almost no pain with meds (^;^) he is in great spirits. I hope the recovery continues this good! @soccermom im glad to hear ur doing good, congratulations on ur knew life!

Im sitting in the hospital waiting room while my hubby is in surgery.....sigh

Hi, my husband is scheduled for tomorrow morning. I am so glad we found this forum, it really does help to read other people are feeling exactly how he is. He did a liquid diet for 18 days and today just clear liquid. We are super excited and nervous for tomorrow. I love him so much and im thankful he is taking charge of his life God willing everything goes as planned for him and for all of you scheduled for tomorrow. God bless you and you will all be in my prayers!!!
