When that happens to me sometimes the only thing to make me better is to just go to sleep! Sleep it out if you can. Goodbluck

I agree with @@ready2B I had an infection in one of my incision sites and was back in hospital for two days

I woke up with the sniffles, and was wondering what everybody else was taking to help with the symptoms.

I'm not on any bp meds, there is talk if maybe putting me on some that RAISE my bp but not sure what the plan is. I just hope it goes away soon!!!!

The only thing is I have renal failure and can only have this one multi vitamin..........

I am four weeks out and the last couple of days to a week whenever I stand up my vision wants to black out and I get really lightheaded. It really sucks cause I want to walk, but can't. Anyone else having this problem????

At three weeks out I had to stop crushing, it was making me vomit! Was told as long as its as small as an Advil all is well

Don't get me wrong! I am having a hard time too lol, I'm not always getting all of my *six" meals in, I definitely get at least four to five, but boy howdy! That last one is really hard to nail down. I'm just soooo tired that its very easy to "put off" eating cause I'm not hungry at all!!!! I really wish I could have had like a two day simulation of what life would be like after surgery, I'm not regretting it at all!! but just so I could REALLY prepare my mind for what to expect

I totally heat you!! My surgery was 1-28-15 and I was in the hospital for seven days. When u finally came home I tried to schedule my day through my phone alarms. I started at 7:30 and every half hour it goes off. So, first alarm 7:30, then next one at 8:00 I eat a "meal" you are supposed to take 30:00 min for you meals. Then the next alarm 8:30 tells me to stop eating, then at 9:00 to 9:30 I have my fluids, then at 10:00-10:30 I eat another meal and so on all through out the day until I have had six "meals" for the day. It may seem over kill but for me I'm never hungry or really thirsty so for now this keep me accountable. Hope I helped

OK I'm 5 days post op and let me tell you about my ride lol. When I was on the operating table and had everyone going around me like bees in a jar lol. Then I "wake"/up but oh my gosh I'm soooooooooo tired all I can do is sleep! My left side hurts the most as that is where one of the cuts is in the muscle. Wasn't able to go potty on my own till day 5 post op and I've been having a lot of diarrhea but has been told that that is very normal lol. So today, there pain isn't really bad going to try to get me off o2 so I can go home, have to seriously make an eating schedule and stick to it, I just want to get the most out of this and want to be doing EVERYTHING I'm supposed to be doing!

Well I had to do hemo dialysis, and that makes me really tired. So I was really too tired to worry all day lol. I also gave a lot of peace so that also helps too. Sorry I can't give anymore help....

OK all!!! Today is the day!!! On my way to hospital, surgery starts at 10:30am so far so good with the nerves. Will post more later

@@MisforMimi lol you made me smile!! I know I will be the exact same way. Nice to know that they may give you something to calm your nerves a bit

@ begin Again oh I am definitely still doing the surgery! I'm soooo ready to "begin again"/(grin) with my life its not funny!! I guess a couple of sleepless nights then all will be ok

Two more days and a wake up till my surgery date!! My husband is starting to freak out. Cause all he is thinking about is the possibility of my not making it through the surgery! I keep telling him I've had other surgerys and have been fine, but now making me kinda nervous lol. (Big breath in and out)
