I Finally had my surgery yesterday morning. Is it weird that I am excited to finally post a thread in the post-op forum?!? Haha

I just got my tasty Breakfast of beef broth, Jello, bottle of war with crystal light packet and unflavored Protein powder to put it all of it. Before, I would have already finished and wishing for more. Now I have had two sips and am pretty full. I get one ounce per hour for now. Maybe up to 2 ounces per hour later today. Mostly I am just bored, but the pain is a bit better, when I am not moving anway. Hopefully will only get better from here!

Happy for you!

Postop day one was the hardest for me. Sounds like you're doing great! I hope it only gets better for you from here!

my surgery was monday too! they gave you a lot of food. i was given orange jello and ice chips, and i was fine. i have been in major pain though, and really just want to sleep a lot. good luck in the coming days!

I too am on day 1 post op. Needless to say, I feel like crap. I am attempting to eat some jello but it's little bites and the sensation from it makes me nervous but I was told I would be feeling it. I too want to just sleep. My best friend had the procedure in May and she is my cheerleader. Please tell me it gets better because right now, all I want to is cry like a baby and curl up on the floor.

Had my surgery 14 hours ago. I feel much better than I expected. The pain is tolerable and I have walked 2 times. I think I had so much anxiety. I had never had any kind of surgery. All went smooth incetions are small. Mouth is very dry and Chapstick was my lifesaver. One problem is sleep tonight. Sleeping for about 15 minutes and waking. Slept on and off all day. But overall a great day. Keep us posted I hope things get better for those of you having a rough time.

Wow you were allowed a lot . 5 days post op today. 3 days in the hospital and all I was allowed was room temp tap water.

Mostly it was just for options. I didn't drink most of it. Which now, I may not be able to go home today as planned. I am not tolerating enough liquids and Protein. I am trying to get more down today, I really want to go home.

It does get better - promise!!

Bethin PA...I certainly hope so. I felt better today as I got to take a shower. Walked with the hubs approx half mile. I know it gets better. My main issue is that I am having a hard time getting in the protein that I need. I had almost 8 ounces of protein chicken broth so it was a start..

It's only day one! I was really stressed about getting the protein and fluids in from day one also, but the reality is that the majority of people can't achieve their goals for a while - it took me weeks. So please go easy on yourself and just focus primarily on fluids for now, because they are the most important. The protein will come later.

Congrats n goodluck ... Everyday gets better trust me n everyday you are able to consume just a little bit more
