To All My Fellow June Sleevers........

[NikNakMcCants 62]

It has been a very good day. I have walked 1.5 miles. I got moved to my stage 1 diet. I have had chicken broth, Jello, iced tea, and popsicles. I have little to no pain nor nausea. This has been way better than I prepared myself for. Hopefully I will go home in the am. I wish that your surgeries all go as smoothly as mine.

Hi Nik. Congrats I'm so glad your surgery went well. Look forward to seeing more post from you.

Yay! How exciting. I'm having my surgery in less than a month. Excited but nervous. I will be looking for your post:)

I am 5 days post op. Getting over the minor pain of swallowing too much it too fast is my biggest issue.

Tonight, I had cream of wheat. I had yogurt earlier along with a small Soup and Apple juice.

Getting out of the bed is a little interesting. I say have someone videotape you for future laughs.

I pushed reply. Lets see if u get this!

With surgery just a few days away' date=' I decided to write this post and PROMISE to post my immediate pre and post op experience. I have followed several "pre sleevers" only to have them stop posting once they had their surgeries. I get it. We all have lives and have those things that come up. I place no blame. But, I also know that there are others, who have upcoming surgeries, that will benefit from seeing the experience of others posted immediately. If I can calm the nerves of just one person, well then I would be happy.

So to my fellow June Sleevers....... I promise to post my daily experience (God willling..... and I soooooo hope he is!) on this thread for the entire month of June.

In closing, I hope you will join me on this journey. Cheers to a new you!!!!!!![/quote']

I was given Percocet last night due to my vicodin allergy. I slept soooo good. I have no pain at all. I have 5 tiny incisions with a drain. I am getting released as we speak. I can't wait to get home and sleep in my own bed. I am tolerating everything well. I had tea, beef broth, and Jello for Breakfast. I will keep in touch once I am home. Trying to get in all my fluids will be tough. I am just so tired. Gotta find a way to stay awake so I can stay hydrated. Have a good day all!

[NikNakMcCants 62]

I have been at home since about 2pm. Very tired and a little sore. I keep icing my left hand side incisions. It seems to help. I have to keep getting up to go to the bathroom. It is starting to get annoying. I just want to sleep. But all the trips help with the walking. I am now passing gas. I have been sipping on Water, diluted raspberry juice, chicken broth, and a chocolate Protein Shake. All go down well. I am hesitant with the Percocet. It gave me a really weird dizzy out if it feeling. I am trying to manage pain with extra strength Tylenol. If the pain gets worse or I become restless I will have to break down and take the Percocet during the night.
