  1. I had a hard time coming out if the anesthesia. I was totally out of it the entire time in the hospital. I felt so uncomfortable and being a control freak didn't go well. I expected to get right up and walk. I took 2 super short walks and could barely get out of bed. I was allowed nothing until the next morning after making sure I didn't have a leak. Then I had to drink about 4ozs of water so I could be discharged. I wish I would have laid off the morphine button a little.
  2. I will wake up coughing a few times a night. It hurts so bad and my anxiety over coughing may be even worse than the pain itself. Wondering if this is normal, maybe getting stuff out from surgery.
  3. I get the liquid and it didn't go well today are the chewable better?
  4. Gas pains. I have has them pretty bad but everyday is better. Sleeved 5/22
  5. My back has been killing me from the hospital bed, gas and not being able to get comfy once I got home.
  6. Thank god! I may sleep tonight. 4 days post op!
  7. All I could find that are sugar free are the Popcicles brand fruit or tropical. I feel Like they give me indigestion.
  8. I was sleeved the 22nd and just woke up from a small nap for the first time feeling pretty good. Hoping its a trend I have been feeling horrible!
  9. Both times I vomited (the first time right after my leak test) it was bloody with mucus. I hate not being in control it is making me insane!
  10. I just vomited a small amount and now don't want to drink anymore. I am giving it an hour. I am 3 days post op and had about 16ozs of Liquids today.
  11. Not as good as you but I am thinking maybe I am a wimp! Lol! My surgery was Wednesday and I am whining about the gas pains lie it is my job!
  12. I have a 3 and 5 year old and am 3 days post op. luckily he is off all next week because the thought of taking care of the kids right now by myself scares me!
  13. What did you do for gas besides walk? I'm not sure what I'm feeling. It happens as soon as I drink.
  14. I got nexium that dissolves in 15 ml of water and I can't stomach it. What do you suggest? Looking for something that you can dissolve under your tongue.
  15. That makes me feel better because right now I am feeling like I made a big mistake.
  16. They gave me a powder mix to mix with 15 ml of water and I can't get past the taste. These gas pains are a killer but they won't go away. Any tips? Also the pain meds before bed to help me sleep. Can't get them down either. 3 days post op here.
  17. I am day 2 today too and I feel just awful! I can't even stay awake!
  18. I am on preop. Tomorrow is my surgery. I didn't think I could have the protein powder.
  19. I bought the low sodium in a box and it was not edible. I am on clear liquids. Is the broth off of a can of chicken noodle ok?
  20. Yay we both had the same amount of preop and the same date! Good luck tomorrow!
  21. I have been on shakes for 7 days and today clears and it is killing me! I am so hungry and weak. I guess the shakes filled me up but this is the worst. I need to stay strong! I want to just sleep the day away. Anyone else feel like this?
  22. I am in NJ. I am ready for it to be over with also. Thanks everyone!
  23. Getting ready to pack my bag and get it all ready for tomorrow. The hospital will call between 2-6pm today to let me know what time. I am starving!
  24. Good luck! I'm Wednesday and starting to get so nervous!
  25. I really like GNC 100% Whey Protein shakes.
