3 more days until I start the brand new me! Anyone else coming up this month?

Good luck and prepare for a lot of gas pain, as soon as you can get to our room and they allow you start walking immediately, I woke up after post op in so much pain but I knew that I needed to walk . I did not get very far but I was able to walk just enough to let teh gas pain start slowing down. You will hurt and have the driest mouth for 24 hours but it slowly gets better. Take it easy

once you get home.

Yep, I'm the 7th too!! One more day of pre-op liquids! I still don't know what time, the hospital is supposed to call me tomorrow around 5:00 to let me know. Really hoping I'm not the first one out of the gate that morning, that person has to be there at 5:00 am...my drivers (aka parents) would have a looonnnngg day

Day 2 post op! I have had some pain....nothing to big to deal with. Was on morphine for the first 8 hours then switched I've to toradol.. (Thy say it is like a really strong Motrin).. I had heartburn before this managed by Prilosec everyday...since surgery heartburn has been worse (that would be my biggest complaint) they have been giving me protons by iv...but today they say Prilosec with applesauce.... I am hoping that will work better today. Oh and very dry mouth for 24 hours after surgery...yuck.
