shaychelle got a reaction from gl12282 in 2 days post op---trying to get in liquids
Thank you gl12282. I've been sticking to warm and room temp drinks the last few days. I'm actually afraid to try cold again for fear of the pain. Maybe in a few months. I'm glad to hear that things do eventually get better.

The BEST calcium citrate chewable is below. It literally taste like a red Starburst! I got mine on Amazon!

shaychelle got a reaction from KristenLe in 2 days post op---trying to get in liquids
Thank you Joy and Kristen. I'm glad to know that I'm not the only person that's had issues with this. I was so frustrated trying to figure out how to make this happen. And how other people have been successful with it because obviously people were. I really appreciate all of you for responding. It's great having a support system of people that care enough to help even if we don't know each other.
Today seems a little better so I'm hoping each day does get easier. The last few days I was wondering what the heck I did to myself. Haha! But one day I'm sure I'll realize it was all worth it.

@@ecoreen94 I'm excited for you!! I am scheduled for 10/18. I bought a few things for post-op - a few different Protein shakes (prepared), some Atkins Lift Protein Water, sugar free Jello, and a bunch of different teas. I'll get sugar free popsicles to have too. I didn't get a lot - as I'm not sure what Protein Shakes I'll like post-op. I'm going to make my own broth and freeze it. I ordered comfy front closure bras as recommended for post-op and I'm going to ask about a binder at my pre-op teaching class next week. I'm going to have really comfy new sheets ready for when I get home and a body pillow. I'm cleaning like crazy and trying to get organized.
I'm going to wear comfy clothes to the hospital and plan to wear the same ones home (I'll only have them on for an hour). I'm bringing a few pairs of underwear, my cell phone, kindle, a long cell charger (also charges the kindle), chapstick, and my SO will be bringing a pillow for the car ride home. We're only 20 minutes away so I figure if I need anything else - someone can bring it to me.
I will be starting my pre-op diet on 10/4/16 and just want this done! :-)
Good luck with everything!
Kristen
