Still waiting on #2 Pms started today so exhausted finding it hard times get all my liquids in. Hope ur doing better

Is that on time for you? My TOM came my day of surgery!!! A couple days early... Sooooo annoying! Stupid body lol

Hi everyone! I hope it's ok I join in here. I had my surgery 11/13. I'm doing decent getting my fluids in and I'm starting to feel like a real human again. I had one of the not fun early recoveries and I was nauseous from immediately after surgery until day 3. I woke up in terrible pain in recovery. But that has subsided. I did start my TOM yesterday and I have had diarrhea for the last 2 days.

Ok, since we're talking poop - used a microlax yesterday (charming), which worked immediately. This morning had a bm as normal. Great start to the day I was afraid of leaving it too long

Oh! And over 15lbs lost!! My stomach no longer protrudes further than my boobs! Yay

I don't know why I was so excited for number 2...because now I have diarrea. Bleh.

Aside from that doing really well. Finally able to stand straighter today and not look like the hunch back. My back had been killing me since this pulled muscle when I got home and I've been hunched between that and the pulling in my dent/middle incision. The incision still hurts and pulls but I'm able to straighten out and actually walk around a bit. Felt well enough to cook some home made soup today. Every day is getting easier yay!

I'm having a hard time with the water and my protein too. The thought of protein shakes makes me ill since I woke up the other day totally hating everything that was sweet. So it's a challenge. I only had about half of what I should have yesterday. Today if I follow my plan of foods I should have almost 60 which is a huge improvement. Water not so great still. Only gotten about half in today so far.

I had my first follow up appointment today and the doctor is not happy with my fluid intake. I'm hustling today trying to get more in. I'm totally sick of jello, protein shakes, broth and crystal light but hopefully I can get everything in today.

I actually bought some unflavored protein that I'm sprinkling on everything! I add it to the broths, creamed soups and plain yogurt. I've actually created my own little "parfaits" using plain Greek yogurt and crystal light...they are super yummy! And packs protein!

Yes, I am going to get some unflavoured protein too. It surely has to be easier to add a bit to everything rather than trying to choke down shakes.

I am also only managing 32oz of water. I don't think that's too bad only being less than a week out. I hope by the end of week 2 that I can get the required 64oz.

I had surgery on the 14th, went home the 16th. No nausea, but they always made sure I had anti-nausea meds. Sore! Like someone else said, feel like I've dove a million situps! And still haven't pooped. BUT . . I am diabetic, was on a combination oral med and a small bit of nightly insulin before surgery. HAVE NOT NEEDED ANY DIABETES MEDS SINCE MY LAST DAY IN THE HOSPITAL! Completely normal blood sugars ever since, I am so happy!!!!!

That's brilliant what a fantastic start

Hey guys! Since surger on the 14 and having times stay in the hospital til Sat the 18 things have very slowly been improving. They had me staying in the hospital an extra night due to high heart rate. Which came down as soon as they said I could home. While in the hospital I was using an over head bar to help lift myself in and out of Bed and my ended up getting horrible pain in my left shoulder. Did xray everything was fine. Finally the PA came in and say she was going remove my drain that when lifting myself the tube might have got stuck around diaphragm. And can cause shoulder pain. So she removed the drain and instantly shoulder pain went away. What a relief. Since being home find it hard to get all fluids in and have to remind myself I dont have to finish them in a set time. I can take it slow. A surprise for me was I didn't know how exhausted I would really be from this. I am so tired after the smallest task. But even takin a shower knocks me out lol Tomorrow will b 1 wk post op and I do an official scale check! Good luck everyone!
