I'm finally at the hospital being admitted. My nerves hadn't kicked in until now. Surgery is in about an hour and half and the nerves are kicking it with a pinch of anxiety. Trying to stay objective but this is my first major surgery.

Please send positive vibes this way.

Hey Krestel! From what I have heard, I believe that the nurse will give you an injection, before the surgery, that should help prevent blood clots. Regardless of that, however, I will pray for you!

Try Premier Protein powder. The pre mixed ones are gross to me now after surgery, but premier Protein has 30 grams of protein, and I use unsweetened almond milk to make mine. Also PBfit is a lifesaver too. It is powdered Peanut Butter. I make my shakes into a choco peanut butter Protein Shake. Give it a try!

I guess I do not bruise easily...
My surgeon and his assistant were so gentle,

My surgeon also told me same thing. Day after surgery shower then take off bandages keep steristrips on until they fall off. I’m post op day 7 now and I’ve only had about 1 fall off.

it'll get better, just don't make the mistake of rolling onto your stomach like i did one night and screamed out of my sleep in pain. I had minimal pain except for the one where my stomach came through and that one was the bruised one. just take it easy and happy healing

Hi! I'm only 3 days post op. I was asking out of curiosity sake. Thanks for the information. I have significant bruising around the incision sites, which is making it very uncomfortable.

Don't give up, Daisy, it still is doable, my friend!
