Hey all! I'm new around these parts

My surgery is scheduled for January 7th and I was wondering if there are any others schedule for the big day in January 2013 ...?

So has anyone over done it yet? I think I did yesturdat and I didn't even do much. Resson I ask is because I was in pain ALL NIGHT. A sharp pulling pain, whereas the other night I was able to lay in certain positions with no pain. How long should it hurt before I start to worry

Has anyone started driving around yet?

Nope, gonna try later in the week. I'm not suppose to for 2 weeks

Hey, I was sleeved 4 days ago and I drove 3 days later. I haven't taken any pain medication since the 1st day so I knew I wasn't on narcotics. It hurted turning and some pressing on the brake. But I survived it ..lol

Today I started full liquids...so I attempted to drink my protein shake by total lean shake....I took about 4 sips and about 1hour later, I had those lactose intolerant bouts....feeling like I was having contractions...omg.... Diarrhea 3times...omg...the label read its lactose free, my Nutritionist said it should be safe since I am highly lactose intolerant. Omg....I'm afraid to sip it again...so I went back to my G2 and mixed my protein liquid in it.

I've been having to sleep on my side, kind of in fetal position with a pillow on my stomach. Not only does it help with the gas it seems to keep the pain away.

thinking of having some egg drop soup, (minus the egg), its lol

asifitsthelast OMG - what happened to you... that looks horrible!! I hope you have gone to the doctor - I hope you are on the mend!

January Sleevers. I went back to work full time on Monday. Both Monday and Tuesday I worked all day with no issues. Tuesday evening I tried to eat some of my mothers potato soup. She even puréed it for me!

It was so good I ate it too fast and I filled up quickly. I didn't get really sick but just didn't feel well. I went to lay down around 6:45pm. I was going to lay down long enough to let my stomach ache pass. I fell asleep and never woke until 7:30 this morning! I am sure my body needed the sleep as that is an important part of recovery.

My issue with this is that when I woke this morning I was already behind the 8 ball with my Water and Protein. It set me back all day long! Matter of fact, this is the worst day I have had since surgery. I'm just nauseous and feeling a little week. I did manage to get 70 ounces of water in today because I am afraid of being dehydrated.

I also just had a small portion of my moms potato soup tonight with some Protein powder mixed in. I couldn't get much protein in today because of being so nauseous.

Help? Did I do the right thing by at least getting my water in? I sure hope I feel better tomorrow.

Im back to my mom and student duties I cant pick up my kiddos but I can at least lead them to the school bus and all around, felt weak but would quickly get my broth, tomorrow I have Dr apt and I hope my doctor will let me get on full liquids I dont feel hungry but my body is craving protein.

I'm also back to mommy duties except lifting. I absolutely cannot get enough protein in. I'm doing pretty good with water..but even when I drink slow I'm still having gas pains. I have to stop and bend at the waste to get it out or stop and take a huge breath. Is anyone else having this kind of problem? I'm a week out and thought surely the gas from surgery would be gone by now.
