Is there any advise you guys can give me my wife and i are excited but we sure would appreciate any advice or info yall can give thanks everyone

I think as long as you have planned ahead with the food they want you to eat there isn't more more to do than lie back and enjoy it! Good Luck!

thanks just a lot to start with ya know

Just don't rush things. Try to stick to the eating plan. It's hard at first with liquids and mushies but there are more choices than you think. And walk a lot, even in the house to keep gas pains down.

Bobrocky advice is worth its weight in gold! I pushed things a bit and paid a price with shoulder (gas) pains etc. Follow the food recomendations as best as you can post op!

For me it was all about the Drugs!!!!

What I mean is, I was happy as a bug in a rug, snuggling into my Lazy-Boy recliner with a heavy comforter, plenty of water, some broth and then ice tea, and my TV remote control.

I took all my pain killers right on time. Didn't miss a dose!

I was happy (and zonked) to stay right there for 24 - 36 hrs following surgery, and heal!

THEN I started climbing the walls and just had to get out of the house. But that's another story.
