  3. Everyday is a new day. Dog hurt me last night but woke up to little pain like last night. Fatigue plagues me but I still can't get vitamins down without the heaves. Went back to clears yesterday. To attempt to move today or not to? Hugs. Have a great day!

      My cat jumped on my belly and after that I started sleeping with a pillow on top of my tummy. Try to walk and see if the chicken broth helps. Gas-x strips will help too. My vitamins are chewables they are better for your tummy. Good luck

  6. Anyone out there dealing with sleep Apnea with a CPAP. What issues did you encounter post op.

    1. Jenelle

      Jenelle

      When I woke up from surgery, I kept dozing off and the nurse would tell me wake up breathe, hard breaths. She said everytime I feel into my deep sleep I stopped breathing she thought it was because I was very sensitive to medication until the other nurse asked if I had sleep apnea and then they realized why I stopped breathing. I am very sensitive to meds as well as it took me almost 2 hours to be completely up and she said the norm is 15 to 20 minutes. I should have taken my CPAP machine to the hospital but I didn't want to carry extra stuff.

      Jenelle

      I got sick three weeks before surgery and my Dr said only to stop 10 days before surgery so I took Mucinex and all the other stuff I could find. Took my vitamins and lots of water. And then avoid all the sickies. lol

  13. Doing laundry and last minute things, getting my bag ready I go in tomorrow. I am so scared and thinking OMG is this the right thing to do? Every 5 minutes I'm talking to God in my head, praying that it goes well.

      LOL...Girl I hear you, three weeks ago I started getting sick and I panicked, My surgery is tomorrow. I started taking my vitamins, Since it was three weeks from surgery I took all the medicine I could and lots of water...Then the I became a germophobic at work..lol I carry the lysol wipes with me everywhere. And if someone was coughing I would stay away from them..I even went as far as to telling my son to stay away from anyone coughing in school..LOL So I can totally relate.

      I did nothing for the headaches, after the third day they were gone. In the seminar I went to one of the girls said she had been trying for years to have a baby and a year after the operation she got pregnant. Good luck with yours I will be posting how it goes for me. I can't wait.

      I started mine about 4 days early just to give myself time to adjust and of course to cheat. And I did cheat during those 4 days but not a lot...The first 3 days (with no cheating) were hard and the headaches were horrible. Thennnn on the 7th day I cheated with a big plate of mac and cheese LOL..but since then I've been good. I have not lost much only 5 pounds and Im starving but I think it has to do that with the nerves last month I totally lost my period. Just think if you stick to it and you shrink your liver you only get 4 incisions instead of 5.

      It's day 6 and at the beginning I lost 4 pounds (water weight Im sure) then yesterday I gained 2 back..How is this possible? Im following it to the teeth...I'm hardly eating compared to what I used to eat. It made me so mad I wanted to go and eat something out of my diet...I got a skim milk string cheese instead...watch tomorrow that cheese stick will cost me a pound. :-(
