How are you getting your Protein?

Does anyone sit there trying to get your Water in and smelling food from what others are eating? 2 days post op and the smell makes me want food.....back to my water [emoji849]

I know there were several others here set for the 15th--how did you all do? [emoji4]

One of my sutures has bled. How are you all taking care of the holes?

2 days post OP. Happy to be in med last night and able to sleep more than a couple of hours before someone is coming in your room for something. My stomach is one big bruise. I'm easily getting in my fluids. Each day gets better

I'm good. Battling the gas pains. I can definately meet my Water intake. Even want more water. That's hard. Next hour I advance to 4 oz an hour

Leaving for the hospital in about 20 minutes. I will see you I'm able to feel like getting online! Good luck to all having/had surgery today

Good luck. I am tomorrow too. Not sure of the time, just I am second up for the day

Had Pre op at North Vista hospital today. Nicest group of people. Greeted as I walked in door,escorted us by member of team that preps you for surgery. Surgery on Wed. Calmed me down. Not as nervous. Surgeon has 5 of us that day,guess I will have company!

This clear liquid is not great. Nothing after midnight tonight and surgery isn't until 2:15 pm. Crazy but I'm pushing thru. I've done so much laundry. Netflix is my friend. I need to try and sleep to make the time pass

I got the BRACEABILITY compression garment from Amazon. I really like it and it worked well.

You know what’s even weirder.....I put my abdominal compression garment on and it hasn’t happened since. Is this gas?

I'm 51 and surgery Tuesday. I should've done this years ago but moving forward and not looking back.

Night gown! So nice not to have pajama bottoms rubbing against incisions. Fairfree milk has 13g of Protein. Skim. Lactose free. I mix two cups of this with one vanilla Pure Protein (30g of protein) which equates to 56g of protein in total.

Yep that was me too. I spent one night in the hospital. You might get a little nauseous the first and second day post op but don’t worry they’ll give you meds and it will pass. Honestly my BIGGEST advice to you is every morning first think get up, boil a regular size coffee mug of Water, dissolve 3 bullion cubes in it, pour it back in a coffee mug, and sip the entire thing down using a spoon. It literally makes 100% difference. I have energy. Am moving. No pain. Feel great. Getting fluids in. And it’s all because my doctor gave me that advice. The one day I didn’t do that I get awful and dehydrated. I’m only 6 days post op :-)

Definitely GASX, Tylenol, dry Shampoo and wipes to clean yourself with since you can’t shower for a couple days. A heating pad is a MUST and a good pillow. Also, make sure you have SUPER comfy jammies that are not tight around your incision.

Good luck

I'm trying to put together what I will need in the hospital and what I will need when I get home. I'm going to the store tonight for some sugar free Jello, popsicles, Protein Water, broth. I trying to figure out what else I will need. I'm afraid I will be forgetting something.

What should I bring to the hospital? Dr says as long as I'm doing good with Water, I can go home the next day. Send all you good vibes, I can use them!

Hi! Surgery went well. I was a little nauseous after but not a lot at all. I honest have like zero pain except for 1 spot which is my diaphragm. I have an incision very close to it so I’m not sure if it’s the incision that caused the pain or if it’s that trapped co2 gas. Either way it’s literally the only think achy. I was walking around an hour after surgery. I’m having no problem drinking Water and eating popsicles haha. The anesthesia is finally starting to wear off so that’s good. Its not bad at all.....that damn diaphragm just needs to stop aching then it’s REALLY nothing haha

Hope all is good. I met with my surgeon for the last time before surgery on the 15th. Now I wait for surgery and try to keep myself calm and not too nervous. I know I've read it before but what did you take to the hospital with you? I'm anticipating one night. All depends on my Water intake. Thanks again for all the help and support I've received on this forum

I go in on the 15th. I also keep having second thoughts. I guess it's normal. Good luck to you and I'll catch you on the losers bench soon

I'm scheduled for the 15 and I have to do 2 day clear liquids for a prep. And Pre op..its getting close and I'm getting nervous but I've come this far and I'm not backing out now. I'm tired of yoyo dieting and putting so much effort into dieting for it to fail me over and over again
