I am having surgery on 9/25. I'm just ready to go and get it over with. What do you guys have ready at home for post op?

I tried the glucerna didn't go so well made my stomach hurt just crystal lite for now.

Im jus now starting liquids... all of it makes my tummy cramp up... im taking it really slow...

Fortunately No cramping here. Just tried some chinese soup broth and it's delish. Definitely Still on the pain meds though. Just make me feel so much better

What are ya'll doing dir protein? I tried the carnation instant breakfast mixed with 1 cup of milk and 2/3 of dry milk makes the drink have 21 grams of protein. My new tummy doesn't like milk!! Trying it tonight with soy milk. Don't know what I'll do if that doesn't work cause the protein drink they gave me in the hospital was nasty!!!

I tried the Carnation in the hospital and my stomach rebelled as well. I have no desire for it. I'm still having an issue getting the 64oz of fluids in. anything cold and my stomach spasms. How are you guys doing on your liquid intake. Mibe is a sad 10-15 oz

I think I only got maybe 10oz in... I really have 2 force myself... seems like everything maked my tummy flip out unless its warm

I don't have any issues with cold doing pretty good getting in my liquids not sure I made it to 48 oz but I sip all day!! Going to try the new whey protein drink today! Don't have a lot of energy. Trying to make sure I walk every hour!! Just wanna take a nap lol!!

I know I'm not getting the required water in. My pain is not in my stomach but my chest. Probably should be using the breathing thingy more. Hate it though because it is uncomfortable. Wish I was feeling better by now. Can't believe a lady from another site went back to work already. No way!

Just the breathing thing and walk every hour!! You don't wanna get pneumonia or blood clots. Have you been using the gasx strips? Maybe its gas. The walking will help! I hope you start feeling better

Getnskny, I think I remember you. I was sleeved at Forest Park on 9/25 too. You used Dr J, right?

Yes I did! I was with my mom for the upper gi that's the only time I saw other people!!

Yes, I sat next to your mom, waiting for my turn. I was the short one with long dark hair. Overall, I was very pleased with the facility & staff. They did try to kick me out after one night, but since I'm self-pay, & they already made me pay for a 2nd night in advance, I stayed a 2nd night.

I remember you!! Yeah I was pleased as well and pestered them until they let me out after one night lol. How are you feeling?
