I was told to use the soap the night before and the day of.

Today is Day 7 for all liquids. Tomorrow I can only do Clear Liquids. Not getting nervous yet but I'm positive I will.

Hi all! I feel like we are in line to get on a crazy roller coaster and waiting our turn! Today I got nervous - but as I'm dropping of my kids at our neighborhood pool, I can't wait to get through the hard part of recuperation and regain my confidence.

Hope everyone does well on Tuesday!

Arriving at the hospital too. Good luck everyone! Talk to you when we are all done!

On my way to the hospital. Good luck everyone

Ok I got done and back in my room around 11:00 this morning. Had some nausea and vomiting upon waking up but gone now. I've been up and walking twice so far. I feel really good. I wanted to wish everyone belated good luck!!!!

I hope each of you comes out of recovery doing well and comfortable. Not hungry but my mouth feels like cotton due to dryness. No real pain just sore.

Throat rough due to intubation but even that is more nuisance than any real pain. How is everyone else doing?

Hey Michelle

My name is Julia.

I also had my surgery today. I went back around one and was in recovery around 3 and in my room by 5. I haven't had any nausea and I'm so thankful. Sorry you did. I can only imagine how horrible that was. I have had pain in my side that I'm having to deal with, they tell me it's from the hernia repair. Like you, my mouth is soooo dry and my throat hurts a bit and texting is much better over trying to talk. I feel like my breath is horrible!

What sucks they have a Starbucks in this hospital and advertisements up all around. Lol

I'm so excited to see where this journey takes me and wish everyone else the best on their journey also ????

Hi guys. I'm really struggling with the pain. How's everyone else doing?

I'm right there with you! Got home today from the hospital and or getting the meds through the IV is killing me! I'm not having fun with crushing up the pain meds but I have to because of all the pain!
