Well I am on the losers bench now. Had my surgery yesterday and I have to say the worst thing I am dealing with is the gas. That pain is something bad but gets better little by little

Woohoo! Welcome to the bench you loser!

1/19 date and im battling a head cold!!! Anyone know the rules for surgery when you're sick?

What's a belly binder for? I have one that goes around my gut/apron to hold everything in as I lose... But should I have one to wear up higher near my incisions?

@@cab127 It's good to be home isn't it. Glad to hear you're keeping down fluids. I was worried about that too but it hasn't been much of a problem. Just remembering to constantly sip every few minutes is the challenge.

I was doing pretty good until last night when I was faced with Constipation. Unbelievable. I'm drinking Water as much as I possibly can and taking all the Senokot and Colasce that they told me too but still, this is awful. I just had my dear hubby go out this morning to buy Milk of Magnesia. I hope that makes it easier. All part of the journey I guess and this too "shall pass" sometime soon I hope! :(

Thin-for-kidney, doing well. Still in hospital. Surgeon is conservative and likes to have all her patients tolerating meds orally. And tolerating a full liquid diet before leaving. I'm like when is the last time I just laid around and relaxed and took care of myself???

@MissforMimi lol I hear ya!! I know I will be in the hospital from wed1-28 to sat 1-31 it appears that I'm a "special" case as I'm on dialysis for my kidneys, as for me in just glad I'm not getting discharged a day after surgery as that supposedly is getting more and more common!! I mean come on, we all just had major surgery not like we just gave birth, I want to know that I am totally OK with EVERYTHING before I go home, right??!!!!????

With all that said, (grin) I'm glad your doing well!! Keep me posted

thin-for-kidney, there is no way under the sun I was going home the day after. Let those nurses and technicians take good care of you. If you leave on a Saturday. You'll be able to get all your meds. The hospital pharmacy is closed on Sunday and not many pharmacies have liquid oxycodone. Or whatever they will want you to leave on...

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
