    Is 8oz too much?

    I'm in Utah - yesterday I was a little slow but today I'm back to great !! I'm not lifting or eating cheeseburgers ( which I need ????????) but I feel really good.

    Is 8oz too much?

    @@atontor I had surgery Friday and feel great !! Very excited about this journey and I love learning from everyone ... I was able to go home same day and I've been a little sore - but nothing like some of the comments I've read. I had no idea some people stay 2 days. I even drove myself to the store after I got home Friday. Takes a lot to get all the fluid down but I'm not hungry and able to do laundry and things. I walk my dogs a lot. I use a Vivofit to track my steps and Saturday I did 6000 steps but Sunday and so far today 10k + .... You look really good. I'm excited for you !!

    Sleep aids

    Try sleepy time tea. I have used everything and this stuff works well for me anyway
  14. I had surgery Friday 9/11. I went home same day. Minimal pain, no nausea. Drove to grocery store after I got home. I think it depends on how active you are prior to surgery. Walk as much as you can. I'm 2 days post op & feel great !! ** Sip sip is tough - that didn't sink in when I was told. ** Tying my shoes for a walk - not great. ** I love Popsicles now - sugar free tropical flavors. ** how amazing it feels to get moving, I walked 9k steps today - and feel really good. No longer taking pain meds. Stay active before and walk as much as your body allows after - you will feel great
  15. Took Emend ( nausea ) 0230 Checked in 0530 Surgery 0630 Wok up 0915 Not nauseous ( due to Emend ) Walked, chatted with nurses and doctor. Check out 1345 ( 145p ) Been home almost 7 hours. Slight pain where drain is - have been walking dogs and made dinner for my family !!! Nurse had this surgery and we compared notes about Emend ! We both went home the same day as surgery. I'm not a sales rep for Emend - however, I hate the nauseous feeling and this is the best !!! So happy for me and for everyone on this journey ... thank you guys and gals support !!!

    Surgery today !

    I asked several doctors about this actually I was on a pre op clear liquids for 1 week. He said its asked on your percentage. Higher % longer liquid diet Going home also depends on the anesthesiast ( spelling ). He spoke w me for 30 minutes before surgery explaining everyone and getting to know everything about me. They have lots of before surgery nausea pills - and when I had a lumpectomy 3 years earlier I got really sick - so he gave me a different dose of things during surgery. There were 9 people in the operating room 5 were from the anesthesiast office. I was groggy but not sick. I haven't needed any of the pills except for 2 pain pills so far

    Surgery today !

    Truth. Staying over was never a plan. I'm a cash patient and the surgical center where it was done ( on the grounds of a hospital ) doesn't have sleep overs. Dr Cottam has been doing the surgeries at this location for 12 years. As long as the Emend is taken prior to surgery and a good anesthesiologist is good - yes. I walk my dogs a mile every other hour. I take 1/2 pain med every 3-4 hours but I'm good. I have a drain bag attached I empty out - but overall I feel great !!!

    Surgery today !

    Since we can only sip - seems it takes forever to finish a glass of water ???? but I finish and I have 2.5 dogs so I'm definitely walking. Slight pain this morning but no nausea and I have 5 scripts for nausea. So happy. No I can catch up on everyone else's stories !!! Thanks guy
