Hello everyone,

I've been reading this forum for a few weeks and I cannot thank you guys enough. Well, tomorrow morning at 7:30 I have to report to the hospital for surgery. I just packed my bag with items that I will need. I'm nervous and excited at the same time. Hope everything will be ok. Please everyone keep me in your prayers.

I'm so sorry for you're pains! Do hope being home will help you. Take care and let yourself heal as long as you have help. I know you will be feeling better soon and looking great!

Thanks for caring. I am in my bed taking Lortab elixir for pain and Protonix for gas. So far so good. It's getting up from the bed that is a killer.

Hi Ellody,

I had my surgery on Monday so I'm a day ahead of you. I feel you on the recovery room pains...OMG!!!! Thank goodness for morphine pumps! I feel a little better today, only taking the elixer in the morning and at night to help me sleep. I have belched my head off but seems to be getting better. I don't have a drain, do you? Thanks goodness, I was dreading the removal. My doctor does a three week clear liquid diet after so all I am getting is sf Jello, sf popsicles, Water, G2 and crystal light. It all tastes way too sweet to me but I'm getting it down! Good Luck to you

Hi,

I take the elixir every four hours. No drained for me as well. I'm on stage 3 now. Eating 1 oz of Protein 3 times a day. I had broth, Jello, popsicles, crystal light and one tablespoon of scrambled eggs. Waited 30 minutes to drink. So far its going well. Also walking is my best friend. Hope you are well.
