I'm three days post op and starting to wonder why I don't have any horror stories as you guys are sharing here. Are they in my future? I haven't had a bowel movement yet and for the most part feel okay! I can only sit here read your responses and wonder what is in my future. It is also very interesting to see the different diets everyones doc's have them on.

I have been peeing more in this last week than I have my entire life. I have to admit I hardly ever made it to the recommend water intake before surgery and had a major addiction to Sprite. I haven't yet had my first bowel movement since surgery but I am thinking I may not being I haven't had any solid foods??

I just had surgery on Tuesday ( 9/16/08 ) and still trying to figure out how long it is taking me to do anything. The first day in the hospital I hardly touched anything they gave me. The cranberry juice in the ketchup size take-out container was the only thing I wanted. Thursday I ate a little pudding, broth, water, and ice pops. I drank 8oz of protein in skim milk. Today is just starting and going to go sip some water as I finish this up.
