Ok everyone since we are getting close to December I figured I would go ahead and start us up a post op thread

I finally came home from the hospital yesterday after surgery on Monday. My kidney function has gotten better since the surgery so that's the best non-scale victory I could ask for!! It's good to see everyone feeling better and better. I still very much need my pain meds unfortunately. I'm still on liquids and I'm drinking isopure for protein. It's actually pretty good and comes in different flavors. Non milk based' date=' no carbs low sugar, with 40g of protein per bottle at GNC. Hope this helps those of you having trouble getting protein in.[/quote']

Glad you are home and on the road to recovery. Hopefully the pain will go away soon for you. Which flavor of the isopure is most tolerable for you?

Isopure is my favorite and the best way for me to get my protein in right now! I like the red colored one, fruit punch I think it is called. I also like the blue one.

I fell in the shower today, just slipped, but caught myself. My right side hurt so much, felt like I tore something inside the small incision site, not fun, so back on the pain meds right now, hopefully it heals and I have no pain tomorrow or I will have to call the doctor.

Oh my word...I cringed just reading your post..I'm so sorry that happened to you..I really hope you feel better quickly

Please call your Doc tomorrow no matter and tell them what happened. I literally held my breath after I read that you fell. Please take you pain medicine today but if you feel any different kind of pain then before you fell call the doc. Or even go to the ER and get checked out. Praying that everything is ok

You need to call the doctor today! You could be in real trouble if you wait until tomorrow. There is a doctor on call that can be contacted.

So happy about the kidney function improving. I pray it continues. take good care of yourself this week. It is a bit of an adjustment not having the nurses there to do things for you.. But you will feel better every day. Gentle hugs my friend.

This is definitely tmi, but was/is anyone else kinda scared to poop? Lol.

I had horrible horrible back pain until I finally had a BM last night. I woke up this morning in absolutely no pain. It was amazing.

And on another note I am only 3lbs away from my weight when I went in for surgery!! So excited!

That is awesome!! I'm about 10 pounds down since my surgery, so that makes me happy. And thanks for letting me know about the back pain!! At least then if it happens, I'll know what it is and I won't freak out!! I think I'm on the edge of being constipated. Lol. So, if things don't get moving so to speak by tonight, then I might try something else. Not sure what would be safe though, you have any ideas?

My doctor had me use Milk of Magnesia....I got the cherry flavor cuz that stuff is nasty by itself. It wasnt too bad....best thing about it was the back pain went completely away.

Tomorrow morning surgery for me and more than a bit nervous. Liquid diet has me a bit nauseated too.
