Hey everyone I guess this is it..! I have 24 hrs till my new life,.kinda happy kinda sad I just hope I recover well and everything goes smoothly! I need ALOT of support right now even if it's via txt. I really hope I'm making the best decision and I honestly believe I am..I deserve to be happy and not be in pain..I deserve to live a happy healthy full life! I deserve to not feel so insecure about my body that I don't even wanna go out during the day..I'm really hoping this first week is okay I know it prolly won't because I'll be in pain and sleep lol but I've got everything at I think I do im gonna need I got my myloplex powder shakes I have special k protein shakes both chocolate and fruity flavor, some broths (tomato and chicken) I have my sippy cups,baby spoons & bowls. I DON'T HAVE a food scale yet :/ gonna get one later when my first 2weeks are up. I have to get some mini waters too. But yea That's mostly what I have..hope I'm prepared enough for what's about to happen. These first 2 weeks is gonna be rough...is there anything else I should get? I'm still confused at what kinda Vitamines to get and if I should take them within these first few weeks or I don't have to or what? I'm TERRIFIED of loosing my hair or become malnourished in any way or something I know I ask a million questions over and over but I wanna be sure that I'm sure. (sorry its the over analyst in me lol )

Sugar free Popsicle. Best of luck to you

Good luck tomorrow! You will be fine. I am 6 days post op and feeling pretty good. No pain from the surgery itself but still have some gas pain. My doctor told me for the first week to just work on getting my fluids in, not to take any vitamins and not to worry about protein. I have my 1 week post op appt tomorrow. He said week 2 I'll still be on liquids but I can have protein shakes, yogurt etc.. The first week just make sure you get enough fluids, very important. You won't be thirsty (or hungry) but you have to keep sipping, you don't want to end up back at the hospital for dehydration. All the best to you and let us know how you are doing.

I'm giving you (((((((BIG HUGS)))))))))

What kind of fluids do u mean like Water, crystal light? And do u have head hunger since your not hungry or thirsty?

Yes, water (although plain water gets old pretty quick). Crystal light (lemonade flavor is my favorite). Sugar free ice pops and jello are great. Decaf tea (no sugar or milk but you can use sweet n low). I ordered chicken soup flavored protein powder from unjury.com, tastes pretty good and you get 21 grams of protein per scoop. Started to get the head hunger today (day 6) but not too bad.

Preshiz - I'm sending you a private message. Good luck! You will do fine!!

Yay! I'm sure you'll do great!

The first week you need to make sure your getting enough fluids in. Chicken broth and sugar free Popsicles will really help. I didn't start the protein and vitamins until the second week. Also walk much as you can. Even if it's just a little at a time. It will relieve the gas. Laying in bed too long only makes the gas worst. Good luck I will be praying for a speedy recovery.
