Hi everyone who is having surgery in October 2014. We can start a new topic for those of us who have had surgery already.

This is the spot were we will all end up, were we'll share our stories and recovery. It will be a new dawn for so many of us. Let's stay close as united we will conquer anything that comes our way!

BEST WISHES GLADIATORS

@@layknee, I hope everything comes back ok. Prayers..

Was talking to the patient care tech here in the ER who had the surgery 10 months ago and she said it could be a problem with me being able to drink thin liquids

@@layknee hope they figure out soon. Water is not my friend post surgery, cramps and liquid burps immediately, though powerade zero is ok so far.

Same as Smiley. Gatorade 2 works really well for me.

they'rv keeping me for 1-2 days. I'm very dehydrated.

Oh no layknee, so sorry my friend. Drinking is so hard with a tiny pouch.

@@smiley922 and @@AuriP or anyone please

What are your favorite flavors of Powerade zero? I am making an epic shopping trip tomorrow. I feel like I live in Alaska and I am making my yearly pilgrimage to Anchorage from chicken (a real place named Chicken, wow). Last time there were so many colors of "Gatorade" and so on, I was overwhelmed and in a hurry, I gave up.

Sorry to hear this but glad you went to the ER. Right now you are where you need to be. Take care and keep us posted.

Hey all, weighed in at 168, haven't seen that in 15 years. With my short height and lower bmi at surgery time, it did not take long, long ways to go.

get better love.

Also, had to get a treat for some guys who repaired my bumper while I was not driving. Went to a gourmet cupcake shop. Amazed that I could not even smell the buttery sweetness u know was there. No desire at all, and I love cupcakes.

Last amazed at no headhunger, and really no appetite. Hope everyone else is the same.

I like the blue, orange and strawberry. The red fruit punch tends to be too strong and the lemon lime reminds be of the bowel prep at this point

@@layknee you are going thru my biggest fear at this point, god bless and be strong, this too will get better.

@@layknee take care of yourself! Please keep us updated. Get some rest!

Thanks everyone. Love you.
