I tested negative for Covid... so that’s not it.... thank goodness

I am 16 days post op and everything tastes bland... and then i don’t want to eat it!!! I knew some of my tastebuds would change... but this is crazzzzyyyy!! 😩😩😩

So I am 3 days post op... and yesterday was awful!!! I knew i needed a small hernia repair... but it was actually a large hernia!! Dr said he had to pull my stomach out of my diaphragm and reposition my esophagus and then stitch everything in place. I kept liquids down just fine in the hospital... but when the good surgery drugs wore off... the nausea was uncontrollable and everything made me vomit, including the pain and nausea meds. Call the dr office and they said i may need to go to the er... i told them i just needed something to control the nausea and the vomiting would stop. They called in liquid med and it worked. Today was soooo much better. I never really had the gas pain, but i could keep the pain meds down to control the incision pain and the hernia repair pain. I got about half my liquid and half my protein in... so i will take it!!

Today is the day! I am registered at the hospital and waiting to go in!!! Wish me luck... PS... my nerves are making my stomach bubble

Covid test is negative and I am all set for surgery tomorrow at 10:00...

Had my Covid test yesterday and it was horrible... my right nostril is still hurting..... and i was STARVING last night. I had to mentally chain my body to the bed because i was craving potato chips... i rarely even eat potato chips.... i even said i will get them and just lick the outside.... arghhhh.... today has been better... but i have always been a night snacker and i feel it coming back. Surgery is on Friday.... i am struggling

Hope everything went well!

I’m on the 26th also

I’m on the 26th and feel the same way!

I get migraines... so my dietitian told me I can still drink a cup of regular coffee in the mornings to keep them at bay without medication.

Yes. It is supposed to be more accurate and cause less pain after surgery. The dr is looking through a very hd screen and controlling robotic arms

Alot of us gained weight after being cancelled...... You are not alone! I am still having a daily food funeral . My surgery is June 26 and i have to get back on track also

I am at Northside also with Dr. Lytle. Just found out yesterday that it will be robotic

What hospital is your surgery being performed? I am having mine done in Atlanta also.
