Home From the Hospital



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone! I was sleeved at 7:30 am yesterday and came home today around 2 PM. Other than extreme soreness and backpain from that horrible hospital bed, I feel pretty good. No nausea. The doctor told me to sip as long as I am awake (trying to get in 3 oz. per hour). I am disappointed that I can't take a shower until ater my drain is removed. He said sponge baths only. I hope all the others who had surgery yesterday are doing as well. Please keep in touch.

Congrats I am glad you are feeling well and on the road to recovery.

Yup me too, the nurses helped me into the bathroom area and told me to set the drain container on the seat next to me while I showered. It felt so darn good to shower too.

Welcome to the 'losers' bench! YAY! Hope you continue to feel well. I also showered with my drain with no coverings, but if there is one thing that this site has taught me is that EVERY surgeon is different. My rule...follow MY surgeon's orders exactly. Hopefully that evil drain will be out soon and you can shower freely! :)

WOW, you were home so fast!! I just got home today! I was also able to shower with my drain but like others have said, totally just follow what your doc says! My NUT said I could go home and be on full liquids but the doc says clears only until Monday. I'm following the Docs orders!!!

I had surgery yesterday too. I am home today. Doctor told me to walk. I walked yesterday and today. How is your drinking coming along? What are you drinking and how much. Also, how are you feeling?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
