Neither did I. I couldn't. Not a wink. Then I had a 3 hr drive to the hospital.

My insurance wouldn't cover the pain meds in liquid form. Nice, huh? Lol I was just getting concerned Bc I'm getting like 150-200 calories a day. As for sleeping, I'm a side sleeper and that deep incision burns sometimes and pulls so it wakes me up.

I had the exact thing from my binder.

I find protein powders intolerable. I barf them up. It doesn't matter what I add it to, I get very ill. And I can barely tolerate protein drinks. I can handle 3 ounces of the RTD premier chocolate. The vanilla makes me barf. I just feel like if it weren't for cream of chicken soup I'd starve. Any ideas??

Thanks, it's just frustrating. I know I just have to take it day by day.

Softly scrambled eggs are on my puréed list.

I'm seriously tired. Absolutely no energy. I can get maybe 2 ounces of shake or yogurt in. Or 3 ounces cream soup. I'm pushing n pushing my water but it's never enough. I'm not trying to be a whiner but I'm pretty miserable.

What sort of leak tests do you perform? Will I have a drain? Will I have a private room? Will I have an abdominal binder? What will I be given for pain medicine? What is the average # of nights in the hospital?

My surgeon checks during surgery and then does the blue ice test. No blue dye in my drain so I was good to go

They pulled my drain n didn't stitch me up. It closed on its own. Now, the scar where they took my stomach out catches and hurts Bc they perform an internal stitch deep in the muscle tissue. That one still gets me.

Well, when the head and founder of this entire forum says to drop it, you might wanna drop it.

This thread is ridiculous.

It gets better day by day

I know my shakes are 11oz and sip on it til I'm too full. Then refrigerate it for a bit. Pull it out n sip more. Once it's all gone I log a complete shake. I drink til I'm full, though. However, I'm gonna have to start measuring 3oz portions of my soups Bc I get too full and it hurts if I don't.

I have really funky breath and a bad taste in my mouth all the time. I get lightheaded. I think it's from too few calories.

Sugar free wouldn't deter them. But I bet the fit I threw will.

I sent my son to go get me some yogurts. The son that doesn't even live here. I didn't have him get me puddings Bc those are more likely to be eaten by others. I got so lightheaded n then really emotional. I just cried n cried.

I'm really fucking pissed. I've had a total of maybe 40 calories today and am light headed. I go to get me a sf pudding or a chobani yogurt and there are none. I can eat soup, yogurt and pudding. Three damn things and THAT is what everyone in this place decides to eat. We have all kinds of food. All kinds of stuff and I don't have jack shit to eat.

Thought I had one but come to find out I didn't after all.

It was light. I know it wasn't over 15 pounds. It was probably only 5 pounds.

I just had to take some Bc I was a dummy and lifted a box and strained my stomach muscles

Glad to see you're up and staying busy. Today I started packing and picked up the box of stuff. It didn't seem heavy at all but I started hurting. Now I'm gonna nap or something. Maybe I won't feel as sore afterward.

I haven't sharted yet, but I'm pretty careful. If it feels like it's gonna be a volcano I am over the toilet.
