sug7768 reacted to dreamingsmall in It's lose not loose (smh)
Ironic. Someone posting about others Grammer hasn't got their own Grammer right. Perhaps people should just focus on themselves so they don't end up looking silly. It's just a forum not an essay. There are people on here from all walks of life.. Who perhaps type fast as they are busy with other tasks. Or have a learning difficulty. I don't care how someone types. I'm here to support people.

I stayed 2 nights. My doctor would have let me go after the 1st night but I had a tough time with nausea. Then the rounding resident didn’t advance my diet on morning 1, and by mid afternoon when my doctor came in, I still hadn’t proved I could keep anything down. So I stayed an extra night.
It was a trade off. I would have been far more comfortable at home. I would’ve slept and rested better without people constantly rounding in my room. However there was a payoff. The nurses kept me on a strict schedule of taking different antiemetics and made me a list of mini goals (walking laps in the hall, drinking so many ounces an hour) and I would check them off when completed. It was helpful to be accountable for doing those things.

I should add, I cannot even fathom it as outpatient. Between the leak test and all the other stuff. I would be terrified to be home., having an adjustable bed was excellent.

I had to stay for 2 nights but stayed a 3rd because it was quiet compared to my house with kids [emoji12] plus, I had such bad acid that I could barely drink.

I have to stay in 2 nights. I’m happy with this as I think it’s appropriate and safe. I know people have done really well with day surgery but gawd I’ve seen too many complications in my career to be happy with that.

I was braced to be outpatient, leave the same day. I ended up staying two nights with the blessings of my doctors because the gas pain subsequent to surgery was so severe that overall crappiness ensued.
All good now.

Dont feel bad, Amb. I got very detailed instructions as well but never saw or was told anything about the teaspoon. Rainbow, the way you talk, you come off very angry. Instead, be supportive.

You may want to talk with your surgeon. Its normal to have difficulty adapting to foods, again, but at two weeks out, you shouldn't be having this much nausea and vomiting. You may have a structure, or some other complication getting in the way of recovery.
