Oh no! Good thing you heard it fall on the floor!

Did it hurt?! Looks pretty sweet!

I've lost 8 since surgery. 18 since starting preop liquids.

I didn't gain any weight from being in the hospital. I've lost about 2 pounds since morning of surgery! My pain is minimal just having a hard time with getting liquids in. The nurse is going to call me tomorrow for an ounce amount! I need to be getting in at least 48 ounces a day. Yesterday I only got in 32ish :/ hoping today I get more!!

I was told my first bm would be 3 to 5 days. Last night I was passing gas pretty bad! I kept apologizing to my hubby. He thought it was pretty funny because I was so embarrassed!

I got to come home yesterday. I am doing great. Only needing Tylenol for pain today. Having to force myself to get enough fluids. Don't feel like eating or drinking anything, I'm not hungry.

Today went amazing! I cannot believe I'm on the loser's bench! My pain has only been at a 2 all day. I'm able to get up and go to the bathroom and I've walked around the nurses station twice already! Get to go home tomorrow. My amazing husband is here with me and helping me out A LOT!!! I am sooooo blessed!!! Hope everyone else is doing well! I've been thinking of all of you

Amen!! Thank you!!!

Amen!! Thank you

5 am here in MN. Up and at it! Took my shower. Leaving for the hospital in a few minutes!!

TOMORROW AT THIS TIME I'LL BE CLOSE TO BEING OUT OF SURGERY! Surgery is at 7:45. Have to be there at 5:45. Staying in a hotel tonight since the hospital is 2 hours away. Cannot wait to be on the loser's bench!!! Good luck everyone!

Oh ok. I am going to have Dr Chute. Thanks for the advice on the pillows! I'll add it to my packing list!

I'm having my surgery at Abbott Northwestern in Minneapolis. I live by Rochester MN. Anyone from around here?

Have any of you had dreams, nightmares rather, that you were pigging out with food you can't eat during preop? I've had a few, I wake up panicked!

I'm the 22nd as well! I'm on 3 protein shakes, half cup apple sauce, half cup jello, half cup pudding ( all sf and ff of course ) each once a day. I've lost 10.4 pounds since starting. 26 total since January! How are all of my fellow 22nd ppl doing? 3 DAYS!!!!!!!

That's awesome! Great job!!

We were told 1 week minimum even if we aren't on pain mess. The reason is because the steering g wheel sits right at the surgical sight and it something happened we could injure our incisions.

Welcome to the 22nd club! How are you doing?

They all are!
