finally after all that running around I got a date. Im scheduled for January 20th, 2014 with Dr Koshy at St Lukes Hospital. Thats in NY. I was expecting a sooner date but he will be on vacation on December.

I am so glad to finally have my date. what about you guys? anyone else has a date for January?

Share it!

Update: 3rd day post op and feeling so much better! Still not keeping everything down but have found if I sip while standing it stays in. Again, since I am breast feeding I am not on l anti nausea meds. I'm very happy with how I feel today. Hope to be released from hospital today, drains out Friday.

Good luck to everyone, stay positive.

Well my surgery date is quickly approaching (January 27th) and this pre-op diet is really proving to be a challenge. Tried muscle milk & that stuff is awful! Now moving onto boost & slim fast high protein shakes, wish me luck!

If it helps I am using premier protein and syntax nectar. I buy both on amazon. Premier is ready to drink and syntax is a powder. Both taste pretty good.

Try Body Fortress super advanced whey isolate. Chocolate or vanilla are both good. I mix it with Lactaid skim milk. No gas, and taste great. 30 grams protein per scoop. You can buy it at Walmart for about $22.

EAS carb control is pretty good. I've had chocolate and french vanilla and they both are pretty good.

Sorry for late reply. Had surgery 1/13/14 Monday. Was drowsy and Painfree all day. Slept day away.

Yesterday - was horrible. Felt like death. Iv infiltrated. Was dehydrated and became a hard stick. Didn't have iv for hours. No meds! No Pain or nausea meds. Was vomiting bile and mucous continuously. Also hurt abdomen by vomiting. Couldn't keep down ice chips. Finally got 2 ivs by anesthesiologist after several ppl tried - got scopolamine patch and Toradol and zofran etc, felt like 200% better 2 hours later. Had visitors and was even walking by evening. Even could handle ice chips! Totally an isolated incident.

Today cream of wheat and juice. Burping a lot. Probably full after a few spoon Fulls? Have a headache though. Hopefully discharged later. :-)

So glad your feeling better...at least your medical team was able to get it under control quickly so you didn't have to suffer too long. After first try and no success with IV they should have called in the PICC team, but as long as they got you hydrated and medicated thats all that matters! Best Wishes for a speedy recovery!
