In my prayers.

Hi all i'm 5 days post op and have been really lucky. Never needed meds for pain nausea or gas since leaving the hospital. Most days i get 48 ozs of fluid but struggle with the protein. I would say i get about 40 grams a day. My NUT wanted me to drink isopure but it was awful Now i been living on g2 with half a scoop of unflavored. I tried the chicken broth but hated that too. Now once a day my great husband goes to our local chinese place and gets me a quart of the broth they use for wonton soup. I drink 3 times a day with unflavored protein added. Its yummy. I also drink plain water. Been walking about 30 minutes a day. Wishing us all a speedy recovery

Michelle what is the name of the vitamins you are using. i"m on day 4 post op. Having no issue with clear liquids but i only get about 30 or 40 grams of protein

Good luck.

Can't believe today is the day. Soooooo excited and a little nerves. Need to be at the hospital by 9:30. I will post later.

I'm scheduled this morning. I'll let you know how it goes.

Wishing you a speedy recovery. Amz85 good luck. You will do great My surgery is tomorrow.

Thanks. May you both continue to have a speedy recovery.

Just sitting here waiting for the hospital to call with my time to report tomorrow. Nerves aren't too bad. It's time to get this party started. Wishing all of you having or who have had surgery this month a speedy recovery. See you all on the other side.

Please excuse my last post. Fat fingers on little key boards get me everytime. I'll try again. My NUT told me that Aetna uses you weight from you initial consult with your surgeon. I met 3 times with the NUT and at my first visit i had gained 5lbs. By the third visit i had lost 9 lbs, so when my papers were submitted to Aetna i had lost a total of 4 lbs from initial consult visit. I was approved and my surgery date is this Wed the 18th.

I have Aetna also. My Nut told me Atena uses the weightes by the weight you your initial consult with your surgron

Thinking of all of you having surgery today. Good luck and keep us posted.
