Good luck!

Welcome to the losers bench! I hope you can go home soon. Molly (10/2/13)

Just happy to know you are doing well no matter where you posted!

DebbieDenise -how are you doing day 2 post-op?

I just saw that Lynn73 posted (in another thread) that her surgery went well today and she's already up and walking.

The morning of surgery my Wii Fit weight at home was 257. They didn't weigh me there, just jotted down the Wii Fit weight. While in the hospital post surgery, they were worried about my low urine output, so they doubled the boley IV bags for 1.5 days. I developed a cough and my surgeon recognized it was because I had too much Fluid. Off the IVs and 2 diuretics later, no cough, I could breathe better and then I went home later that night. When I was home, my Wii Fit weight was 268! This morning it was 256. :-) Molly 10/2/13 5'6" HW 2/13 288 SW 257 CW 256

Yay! For the first day post - op I weigh less than I did pre-op. They pumped me so full of fluids, I HS gained more than 11 pounds. Molly 10/2/13

Good luck everyone joining the losers bench this week!

I'm so glad that you have done well since the surgery. No one is perfect. Time to dust off and move on, eh?

My pre-op diet was 3 Slimfast shakes (meals) and two Protein Shakes (snacks) plus broth, Water, a little juice (4-8 oz) a day. I could also have decaf tea, sf Jello and sf popsicles. The last day before surgery I followed that diet through lunch, then had Clear liquids until 4 hours pre-op. Molly 10/2/13

Good advice! My family and I had our flu shots about two weeks before my surgery. Molly 10/2/13

I have an adjustable bed upstairs. I was able to climb the stairs yesterday on my first night home no problem. I've been up and down the stairs a few times today. Get plenty of pillows to prop yourself on, if you have a normal bed.

I've been thinking about your question a little more. Again, don't beat yourself up but you probably should mention this to someone at your clinic, too.
