I'm 3 days post-op. I was sent home yesterday. I only sent one night in the hospital, which was fine by me be a I got no sleep. Someone was on my room every 10 minutes around the clock.
So far the pain has been from gas. That has been my most difficult part of this. I walk and walk, but it's so hard for that gas to love. It's hard for me to breathe yesterday because of the gas pain. I walked a lot through the night. So it's much better this morning.
Today is my first day for Protein Shakes and Vitamins. I hope it goes ok. Other than that, my my body is just sore. Hoping it gets better day by day.

I wanted to wish all of you good luck on your surgery tomorrow. Hope your liquid diet went ok. I also wanted to wish you a smooth and non complicated recovery. Please keep us posted on how you're doing....and I'll do the same.
So far I'm still excited, not nervous yet. However, I think I'm getting a sore throat. I wonder if they'll cancel my surgery???? What do you all think?
Thanks

My surgery is Monday

Still don't have my surgery date yet I get my egd wenesday but I did found out I lost 7 pounds in a month so feeling pretty confident

YES IT IS! How long have you both been on liquids? Is it only Clear Liquids or can you have Protein shakes too?
I'm only on Clear Liquids. This is day 2 of 3, well actually 4. My surgery is Monday. You can't eat or drink anything the day of.
Hand in there! We can do it. It's definitely worth it. That's what I keep telling myself. I was texting a friend, I told her I was damn near chanting to myself, LOL! ????

@dancingqueene...congratulations! I'm so excited for you. I know you were concerned about getting approved. Congratulations to you again!!!

My surgery is approved! My liquid diet starts tomorrow. Surgery on Monday!

I'm allergic to whey Protein. So my options for Protein shakes are milk based (lactose free though) or plant based. The plant based have no disgusting! I've tried Vega One and Raw Fit. I've tried egg whites base Protein shake by Jay Robb...GROSS!!! Actually when I wasn't allergic... Jay Robbs strawberry Protein Powder mixed vanilla almond milk, tasted like a strawberry milkshake.
My daily choice now is Organic Valley Organic Fuel, they're already mixed, they come in vanilla and milk chocolate. Absolutely delicious! They're not too sweet, they don't taste like they're trying to mask a taste with sweetener. Definitely my favorite! You can mix the vanilla with different sugar free Torani syrups . Oh, they are expensive. I pay $5 for one bottle.
Good luck!!!!

That comment from a friend would've really and pissed me off....BIG TIME!!! That was supposed to be a friend.

@ Bostongirlforever I ordered my power recliner some time last week I think. Nevertheless it'll be here soon. I have a platform bed, I knew I wouldn't be able to get in and out of it easily. I also ordered a shower stool. My shower is extremely slippery and nothing to hold onto. I ordered it from Walmart or Amazon. Not really sure, I have ordered pretty much everything I'll need.

Congratulations! You're officially on the losers bench. I'm glad you're pain is subsiding. I'm glad to hear from you and you're doing okay. Keep us posted please.
