H I everyone! Had my surgery yesterday morning went pretty well in pain was worse yesterday. Eating chips so for. My gallbladder was taken out he said I had alot old scar tissue but I t never bothered me at

I will be eating sitting up drinking for the first time today. I hope everyone os feeling OK after their sugeriesbthus week ! The worse was getting my period the day before my period ugh z!

My surgery is Feb 20th. I have a 3 day preop diet

February 18th. From Louisiana and having surgery in Tijuana, Mexico. Excited and nervous. Good luck to you all!

When do we start feeling normal. Energy wise. I'm tire easily. Even walking. I upped my walking and made my self dizzy. Ugh.

Surgery is Feb 16th. Surgeon approved FMLA paperwork for 4 weeks!!! I only am hoping for 2 weeks. I really hope she will sign me off at my 10 day appointment assuming no complications. :-(

I have short term disability pay at work, but I have so many project to attend to--- even 2 weeks will be rough. :-(

My surgery is Tuesday 24th, and I am going back to work that following Monday.....if I don't have any major complications. I do not have any more time to take off. So I am hoping that I can sit at work (I'm and admin), instead of fighting off my 3 year old that is very "mommy" when I am home

I'm day 2 at hospital I improving staring to walk but my oxygen level gets in 80 do I have to wear9 oxygen. Might have to wear it home

Does anyone else find they can drink mor liquids than the 5 ozs and hour. I felt dehydrated at only 5 ozs so I've been trying more water and clear liquids.

@ Tall Girl 74....my surgery is the 24th too. I have an appt. On the 26th and I hope I can make it. Best of luck and I will check back in with you to see how everything went. Are you on a liquid fiet yet? Have you done any of your Pre-Op tests at this time?

I'm on day 2 of pre-op diet and I'm hungry. I went to bed early last night so I could ignore my growling stomach. Surgery 2-25. How's everyone else's prepping going?

Chrissy bug my doctor it takes about 2 weeks to get over the fatigue. Your low on potassium and feel lifeless tired and lathargic. My Dr requires v8 juice, tomato juice or tomato soup. They are all high in Potassium . I heard less painful than drinking water. I'm on day three after surgery I am still in the hospital but will be coming home tomorrow. Will start my potassium regimen once released.

That explains why I recovered so fast. I was already on a potassium regimen for almost 2 yrs preop. And tomato soup is one of my favorite things. Lol. I don't want to brag, but I was back to my high pace lifestyle last weekend, minus the housework. Lost another 2lbs since surgery too.

That is interesting.... my dr has never said anything about Potassium
