Well after 2 kidney stone surgeries, and a sinus infection, I finally get my date. February 25th. I'm scared to death now. I was fine until now. How am I gonna do this liquid diet for 2 weeks and get the protein in that I need? How will this affect my sugar? I take 2 shots a day. I just got out of the hospital and now I will be back in there again. I guess god will seer thru this some how.

FArEEkking out! Only 48 hours.... Not scared, just super excited! Good Luck everyone!

Tomorrow is my day eeeekkkkk :/

Saying a prayer for all of you!

God bless all who are going in today....still in a lot of pain, just wanted you to know I'm thinking of you...hugs I'm sorry I haven't been on...I am really struggling. Love to all

Kat

sorry you are having difficulty, thinking of you

First....I feel so bad for not keeping up with how you are all doing. Please forgive me. I have been reprimanded by the nurse for not taking potassium and not getting food or Water requirements in, but it feels like a kick in the stomach every time I put something in there.

And officially on the losers bench. All went well' date=' a lot of adhesions to clear out and SURPRISE had a hiatal hernia that got repaired as well (no one knew I even had a hiatal hernia!!) Hitting my morphine pump on a regular basis, would kill for ice chips right now (10:00 tomorrow morning I get ice chips).

Will be heading out to walk for the first time in just a few minutes. I did end up with a JP drain and my catheter is still in. All in all doing much better than expected on night ....so happy to be done with it!!![/quote']

I'm so glad the surgery went well. Ice chips are so good when you haven't been able to drink. Morphine was OK but they added torodol on top of that when I was in there. Now I only have the liquid lortab....can't wait till we are all on our feet feeling good.

OMG Kat77 is this you that is having the problems with fluids? You did have a hernia?

Yes' date=' I can't seem to drink that much. I love water but it hurts to swallow anything. I feel like I'm swallowing a walnut and getting a kick in in the pouch. I did have a hernia repair...didn't even know I had a hernia. I have 6 incisions instead of 3.... I am setting a timer today to get more fluids in.....it is helping, but the pain is a big issue and I threw up some of my Protein supp yesterday so I'm sore and scared to drink it again.....just two sips and I was throwing up in the bank parking lot....embarrassing. How are you doing?

Kat, have they given you any anti-nausea meds? That's such a yucky feeling. Hope you feel better soon!

In the hospital they gave me several meds for nausea, the patch worked best. They only sent me home with suppositories.....No thank you. I'd rather throw up. Thanks for thinking of me.

Surgery was a success! Can't believe I'm finally on the other side. The pain is pretty bad' date=' I've been up all night trying to get it under control.

Kelly, so glad you are through safely. Speak up if your morphine isn't working....God bless. I hope you recover quickly

sorry you are having difficulty' date=' thinking of you[/quote']

Thank you spunk.....how are you doing? How is your pain and are you able to get your fluids in? This timer is really helping me. I'm taking three tiny sips every ten min....working good so far. Oh and I'm drinking warm lemon water. Recommended by nurse....feels better than the cold in there. Thanks for thinking of me.

God bless all going in today!
