Good luck for today's surgeries!!! Mone I tomorrow!! Will be waiting for the call for my time this afternoon. Good luck again everyone!!!

hello everyone, I had my surgery on Monday, it went well, better than the doctor expected, I had a hernia repair done last year and he was worried that may cause problems but he said it wasn't bad. I tried to get on here yesterday with my phone but the app wouldn't work I came home late last night, had to wait for my dr who was on call and busy I had thought that I wouldn't go home because my blood pressure was running way low even without the bp drugs, i was a little worried but the dr said it was probably because i wasn't having the salt I was used to and my body would adjust in a day or two.

Now that I'm home I am having a bit more pain, I didn't think the pain meds were doing that much in the hospital... I was wrong. But I can deal, at least I'm home and comfortable!

Yesterday I had felt a little hungry which was scary because I know it wasn't real. I didn't really do anything about it except for 'eat' my 'lunch', broth and jello. The speech the doctor gave me before I left scared the hungry out of me tho!

For the person having problems with pain if you are still in the hospital ask your doctor when he comes by or ask the nurse to call your doctor. If you don't think you are getting anywhere ask for the charge nurse, they should hopefully be able to help or give you more info. I hope it gets better!

Thinking about everyone!

Question everyone...I am on day 3 of pre op liquid. Headaches daily and having hard time concentrating. Is it alright to eat watermelon? Low calories and 92% water? How about soup? I can get same amount of protein from soup as shake, with fewer calories. Having hard time finding shakes I like. Is it that I need to eat 800 calories, or only liquid? Seems like I could do this easier if I just restricted to calories, and not liquid. Just trying to keep sanity for 11 more days!

They told me liquids for two weeks. Sf Popsicles and jello ok. Didn't say broth. I have been chewing gum like crazy. Think I just feel the need to chew something!

What kind of medication did you all go home with? Don't doctors usually give pain and nausea medication? Freaking out because I just found out at my preop appt that my doc gives neither. I was told to buy Tylenol. That does nothing for me, Motrin is out of the question now.... So I'm stressed. Pain after surgery seems pretty darn likely. :/.
