Hi I have my surgery the 25th had my enoscopy yesterday pre op on the 19th I'm really getting nervous now

Thanks...I am doing well but this pain ain't no joke...whew can't wait to get pass this stage!!!

Oh my GOD .... Pain - fluid gurgling up and down when I lie on my back ... Passing gas - but still constipated ... Just had a few sips of soup and paracetamol ...

Agreed^^ this pain is no joke. So ready for the positive side of surgery!!!!

Came home from the hospital this morning. Doing fairly well with fluids and pain. Had some problems yesterday with dry heaving and hiccups but I am having a much easier time today. When everyone said with each day it gets easier hey were not kidding. Ready to move onto soft foods that's for sure

Amen about the pain= no joke. Walking is the only thing that has helped me so far. Right now my guts sound like a cave full of angry bears lol. I felt a lot better today, but still sore and having those stomach spasms or whatever that hideous cramp pain is. I am SO GLAD i took this week off work. So glad.

How is everyone doing???

I am well, no pain, nausea, etc. I really feel normal, except that I can't eat. I'm dealing with head hunger, but working towards a better me is winning.

Happy one week sleeveavirsery to all I hope u feel as good as I do

I feel great - what a difference a week makes! I'm doing well with liquids, etc. The gurgling takes a little getting used to. I sleep with my head elevated a bit and try not to drink anything for at least 1/2 hour before going to bed. I start full liquids today and have had no problems with nausea, vomiting, etc. So far, so good!

What do u mean full liquids....

Full liquids on my plan are strained cream or pureed Soups (no chunks), runny cream of wheat, unsweetened applesauce (not chunky), smooth, low-fat yogurt, sugar free pudding.

I was able to start Protein shakes on the 28th and have been able to get 2 of them down each day (I use the pre-made Premier Protein Shakes from costco and put lots of ice in them - so I've been getting at least 60g protein a day, which is probably why I feel so good).

Oh my doctor has me on 2week liquids clear and then soft foods once I see him on the 9th

Only problem for me is I am not sleeping well. Boredom is high. Had tomato juice today. That was a awesome experience. March 25 was my life change and I am already fitting into shirts that didn't quite fit a few weeks ago. Already planning a shopping trip.

Bela.....way to go...I Dont drink tomatoe juice so enjoy....as for sleep......didn't they give u pain meds....I sleep real good

I am a hour from hospital. My follow up is tomorrow and spouse has to work. So no meds. I'm not in pain at all so don't really need any thing. But I am going to have to knock myself out some time. I hate late night tv. Thank goodness for Netflix.

My followup isn't until the 9th.....can't wait to eat cream of wheat
