soflgrl

@@prettyCali916 I'm struggling with food & water. Not even close to any goals. Just trying to figure out how to get it all in. Every day is a new day...and I start over again

Leaks can show up later out of the blue?! Seriously?

I am trying to nibble what I can. I'm hungry sometimes, but nothing really tastes good and it's difficult to get the whole 64oz of fluids in, so at this point, I'm just doing what I can.

What are you all eating/drinking today?

Do you need a special bike for that?

My doc said to focus on getting the 64oz of fluid because hydration is most important. It's easier to do it with clear fluids. I think that biologically our bodies can handle more, but since hydration is always a concern, he said to make that the focus. I'm drinking, but I'm still feeling thirsty af.

Tell me more about the biking thing. I may be interested in that

I'm on IG, @my_vsg. FB kicked me off for using soflgrl. I had that account for 9 years :-( The noises my tummy is making are insane. I swear there's a snoring bear in there. I was foaming nonstop since 4pm yesterday up until I passed out at midnight. This morning, just walking, walking walking and my goal is to get 64 oz of fluid in today. 4 down...60 to go.

Heading home from the hospital. Thank goodness I only live 20 minutes away!

I am still on IV and they took me off morphine drip and gave me Lortab, but that made me sick to my stomach, so now I've been given liquid Tylenol. My incisions and body is sore and I think everyone gets that thing down their throat. That's sore, too. Lol. I guess it all goes with the program... nothing but room temp water for me at this point. We'll see what tomorrow brings. I'll be discharged probably early afternoon.

@@tross10779 I had a hernia, too! Wth? Congrats to everyone! Now on to the next chapter for all of us!

I'm ready!

@@mommamissy They told me to be there at 7:30am and I have mo idea what time I'll actually be operated on. My stay is three days. I'll go home on Wed.

@@prettyCali916 Thanks for the reminder! Did anyone else's surgeon tell them to remove nail polish? Wth? Why do I have to do that?

So....finally woke up today WITHOUT a headache...cause it's a MIRACLE and started cleaning my house like a mofo...because, you know....I could die in surgery and I don't want anyone who comes to my funeral to see how I live....and then BOOM, got my period. FML

@@kayla.velazquez I guess just tell your doc to be safe

@@kayla.velazquez I had a few bites of chicken and a few green beans, too due to the headaches. What did you eat?

Good luck to everyone tomorrow.

@LifeWhichIsMine. I've been using a water tracker on my phone. I'm migraine prone. I think some of it is tension/nerves. I usually treat with advil/excedrin migraine before it gets bad, but because I can't take those before surgery my headaches just climax.

I'm 43, SW 212, CW idk, GW 125. I'm SO MISERABLE. I have had non-stop headaches since Wed. I was told to report to the hospital at 7:30am.

So the headache continues today... I go to a relexology spa to try and get the pain massaged away and I give the asian guy a jar of tiger balm to use. When he finishes my back and tells me to flip over, I look up and he has toilet paper jammed in both of his nostrils because apparently he doesn't like the smell of tiger balm ????????????

I don't know about you guys, but this pre-op diet has been torture. I'm not necessarily hungry, but I suffer from migraines and have had nonstop headaches for two days. That + no food = misery. I'm scheduled for Feb 1 I pray that these headaches don't continue.

ssflbelle What's your email?

Same. Tried to join the meetup group, but it's not there. I'm scheduled for Feb 1 with Shillingford and I live in Boca. Are there any other local support groups? I don't have much support at home and I'm looking for a mentor & a buddy.

Thanks for the update. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
