I packed so much for the hospital and didn't touch any of it. Just comfy clothes to go home in. At home, a recliner to sleep in has been essential as well as a good stock of Premier Protein shakes and crystal light to flavor the endless Water. I'm 5 days post op.

That's for letting me know, makes me feel better that we were told the same thing. I'm going to try my heating pad tonight.

Hang in there. I'm 7 days post op and the liquid diet sucked for the first 5 or so days. After that, I felt great, had a ton of energy and wasn't even hungry. It'll get better.

Chicago!

I had surgery 4/12, im 10 days post op. I was scared too- the morning of surgery I started sobbing when my surgeon came in to talk with me. The first 2 days sucked and were a blur. I'm still in pain but doing better. I had no problem with fluids and have now moved onto purees with no problem so post op eating/drinking has been a breeze for me.

I had surgery last Wednesday and am going back to work this upcoming Monday. Little over 1 week off.

The anesthesia for endoscopy isn't bad. It's not full on general anesthesia like you will have for the actual surgery. It's a twilight anesthesia. You'll be completely out of it and wake up in recovery but it's much easier to handle than general in my opinion.

I have the same problem and also recently took a long flight. Like the other poster said, alternate putting the little airline pillow under you. It really helped me to wedge it between the seat and my tailbone to remove some of the pressure. Aisle seat was key for me.

Once I got insurance approval, I met with the scheduler and picked my own date. I had a work trip to plan around and it was no issue at all

I had surgery last Wednesday and went home Thursday. Friday and Saturday I would walk a few circles around my house each time I got up to use the restroom. I couldn't do more than that. Sunday I took my first walk outside, probably about a quarter mile. I hope by this upcoming weekend I can do more.

I had surgery last Wednesday and had the same thoughts. I was so excited, but started bawling when my surgeon came to talk to me pre-op. I'm day 5 post op now and easily getting all my fluids in and the heartburn I had before my hernia repair is gone. I'm off all pain meds. I'm sore but feel good.

I'm 6 days out and cannot wait to feel better and have energy. It's nice to see people say to hang in there and it'll happen soon!

I'm 5 days post op and on liquids. Honestly, I'm not even interested in anything else. It's easier to not want food than I thought it would be.

When I hit my goal, I'm definitely getting another tattoo. When my hair starts to fall out, I'll treat myself to a nice cut and color if I'm on track to my goals. Signing up for Stitch Fix when I reach goal will definitely be a reward!

I had my surgery Wednesday morning. Was allowed ice chips immediately. Had leak test at 6:30pm and was allowed Water immediately after. Started Protein Shakes the next morning.

I had surgery on Wednesday, went home yesterday. I'm doing ok. Not totally off the pain meds but spacing them out more. Fluids are going ok, but it's non stop to try to get them all in. I can't get up and down out of chair on my own yet but hopefully by the end of the weekend.

I had surgery at 7am Wednesday and had my leak test at about 6pm that same day.
