  1. Headed to ER. Pretty intense left side pain. Doc wants me to get a cat scan to rule out infection /leak.

      Ct scan of abdomen and chest ruled out leak, infection, blood clot and pneumonia. So I'll survive :) thanks for the prayers.

      I'm allowed SF pudding thinned down by milk. But instead of milk I thin them down with premier shakes. I use the caramel with vanilla pudding. :)

      Day 3 is my least favorite so far. Gas pain is terrible. Left side where large incision is sore and I'm EXHAUSTED! Just took a 3 hour nap!

  8. Day 1 post op. Hoping it goes as well or better than yesterday

      Thanks for the words of encouragement! This morning started off rough with some nausea and throwing up water but I took a 3 hour nap as soon as I got discharged home and that seems to really have helped. I'm almost at 30grams of protein today and around 40oz of water. Keeping my eye on the prize :)

      Surgery went well! Pain has been tolerable and knock on wood I've had no issues with nausea and taking fluids like a champ.

  11. Pre-Op apt with surgeon went well this morning. Helped put my mind at ease some... ready for Wednesday!

      Of course: confirmed if he requires a catheter (no!). Asked about blood thinners or compression socks once I return home (hospital only), confirmed I can still take my normal meds the night before, asked at what point during pre op I would start getting the happy / relax drugs (not until I'm making the trek to the OR). Confirmed I will receive a abdominal binder ( this was based off all the positive things I've read on here, he said not everyone wants or needs them but they do have them so just ask the nurse). And then I asked about returning to different activities such as sex, he said let your body be the judge based on how I'm feeling.
