    I didn't have my husband stay with me. It was pointless for him to be there once I was in my room b/c I was out for the count. I do remember most of my visitors, but I couldn't see straight or carry on a conversation. He would have been bored sitting there watching TV while I slept.

    Good luck everyone.

    I am two days post op now. Woke up with some discomfort around 6:30 am and went for about a mile walk around the neighborhood. I think it really helped and since then I've been having no trouble slowly sipping fluids and passing gas. Trust me you want to pass gas anyway you can.

    I'm supposed to start Protein shakes today and I was able to get down 8oz of fairlife milk mixed with half a scoop of Quest Protein powder. It took me about 4 hours- I napped somewhere in between. I'm sipping a cup of broth now and am also on my third 8 oz mini bottle of Water.

    I was in a lot of distress last night and when I woke up this morning but the rest of the day has been manageable. So hang in there everybody. I'm also keeping up with regular doses of Tylenol with codeine which I'm sure is helping.

    When I came home yesterday I was up 8lbs from my surgery day weight due to all the IV fluids but now I'm just 2 lbs up.

    Good for you!!

    Yes I was in terrible pain as well I had my procedure on Wednesday 7/6 I left the hospital a few hours after surgery.. I feel so much better on day #4 my right side is still sore and feels the worse but I'm unable to drink any Fluid.. Water hurts to go down.. Any suggestions on how you were able to take down your liquids. I did check the scale and I've lost 8 pounds since Wednesday but I'm still worried because of the liquids

    I was having trouble with my liquids too! I had surgery on 7/7 and have been afraid to over do it, however my doctor told me that if I warm them up instead of trying to drink them cold it would help and it has a great deal. I'm supposed to start on protein tomorrow, so we'll see how that goes down.

    I had to do a sleep study as a requirement also. I swore up and down I didn't have it and that I felt fine. I've been on my cpap for two months now and I sleep wonderfully! No more headaches, not having any problems staying awake during meetings, and I don't wake up drenched in sweat anymore. Another plus is my hubby can sleep without listening to me snore.

    I hated it at first, but now I can't sleep without it. I will be very interested to see if I still need it after.

    I'm scheduled for surgery on Thursday, July 7th and I was getting lunch ready for my kids. Without even realizing what I was doing I had eaten a few crackers. It was that stupid habit of mindlessly eating and I'm so afraid that I messed things up for my surgery. Other than this slip I have followed my 2 week pre-op diet to a T! Am I going to be ok?? I feel like such a dummy.
