Losing in NWAR

I have Anthem. 6 months of appts with the first included. The only extra thing they required after my last appt was a letter of support from my PCP. I got approved last Friday and am scheduled for the 9th.

Gosh, I haven't had any except that. It's difficult because it's literally the best chicken I've ever had! If you ever make it to Northwest Arkansas it's a stop you should make!

Just try to increase your Water. Tuesday is soon enough to see your Doc. (Unless of course you develop other symptoms).

Mine was dark and stinky. In part because I was peeing out all the anesthesia and drugs and everything that I went on in my poor body. Keep drinking. My NUTR recommended drinking salty broth to help with dehydration.

Many surgeons use the 'pee test' to know if you're drinking enough. Your urine should be very light by mid day. If not, drink more.

just because you're drinking "throughout the day" doesn't mean you're drinking enough.
one way to be sure - get a 64oz water bottle. fill it every morning. finish it by the time you go to bed every night. if you do that for a few days and your urine is still dark, it's doctor time... there might be a kidney issue.
but def do what i said before going to the dr so he doesn't just tell you "you're not drinking enough". take one variable out of the equation so you aren't wasting his time or yours.

My surgery was a week ago and today is the first time I've craved anything. One of my friends opened up a chicken & waffles food truck. He has the most amazing chicken I've ever had. I visited him. I want some of that damn chicken. I can't wait until I can eat solids! But, thankfully, I haven't been hungry or craving anything otherwise!

Yeah! Glad things went smoothly. It gets better every day.

Everything went smoothly! Just in quite a bit of pain from the gas. Otherwise, things have gone pretty fast! Should be going home around 11 am! 🤞🏻🤞🏻
