Hey everybody I'm supposed to be going home today I had a pretty rough morning. I had throw up and drain my g tube 3 times i don't know what caused the nausea. I did just take off my anti-nausea patch last night and i'm wondering if i would have been feeling this way every morning. I've got a headache that won't quit. I'm going to take a shower around noon and hopefully my surgeon will release me to go home. I hope you are all doing well.

Hello everyone. I am 48 hours post op and just started my clear liquid diet an hour ago. So far do good. I feel so much better today. Yesterday was rough. I just felt like I couldn't wake up and couldn't get into a comfortable position. I'm praying the surgeon sends me home today. I need my own bed. My poor roommate had the same procedure and is not doing as well. It has been hard to sleep because of the nurses coming in and out.

Hope everything goes better for you today. It's so hard to get comfortable in the hospital. I hope you are home to your own bed soon :) at least you'll get a little more sleep at home without all the interruptions. :)

Pixie dust to Janel! How long to first BM? I'd laugh but it hurts. RNY 3/11 and I've had no BM' date=' just completely liquid explosive diarrhea, 5-10 times a day. I feel like the bottle of liquid colace my doctor sent me home with is mocking me![/quote']

Don't know if that was good pixie dust sent my way. I'm peeing razor blades. I am getting in all my Protein but my fluids are really lacking. I think its a mental issue of avoidance to the razor blades. Hubby took off from work to take care of me because of the pain and fever and is being a pain about keeping my schedule.

Note to all TURN OFF your phone's otherwise spouses tend to be pain in the ass when you have everything programed with announcements of what your suppose to be doing. IE drink, eat etc etc.

Sorry for posting 3 times it wasn't showing that it was posting all it said was connecting

I'm home from hospt. Had surg on Tuesday. Did clear liquids ( 60cc's every hour) all day. Today I started full liquid diet for 2 weeks til my post op. I'm to get 120 cc's every hour and increase as tolerated a little at a time. I haven't had a BM but I did pass gas once. The gas pains are still a big issue it hurts really bad but no nausea so far thank god. I came off the more phone yest bc it wasn't helpings and started the loratab and thy seems to help but it tastes nasty so I have to take a drink after that. All in all it's going good. I did gain 14 pounds in the hosp bc of all the gas they filled me up with and the amount of fluids I got. I did have to get more fluids than normal bc my urine didn't look good and my kidney function levels started to increase. I'm happy to be here.

I wish the best for everyone.

I personally would love to poop! Surgery 3/11. 400mg of colase, Miralax, Mineral oil, and glycerin suppositories and I still have not been since surgery. My MD is not that worried, but when she blows, she is gonna blow!

Hope u feel better soon!!! (HUGS)

I'm home!! My surgeon was hesitant, but he decided I could go. I'm super tired, and FULL!!! I've been trying to walk a little here and there, but I've decided it's nap time. Just wanted to check in with you all, and wish the best for every one pre and post op!

Yay! Welcome home. Glad you're doing better. Just remember walk walk walk and drink drink drink! I'm 10 days post op and am finally getting something besides the clear liquids....eating cottage cheese right now, so I am one very happy girl :)

Finally on the other side. My pain is tolerable at the sites its the gas pain that is killing me!

Finally home in my own bed. Just passed gas for the first time and I am hoping there is much more where that came from. I am still sore but feeling a lot better than yesterday. I had to do 30cc of liquid every 15 min and then I switch to fill liquid tomorrow. I can't tell you that I havent been hungry but I haven't really felt full either. Looking forward to sharing these pounds.
