Glad to hear MollyF22. Everyday gets better! My first two days were very rough too. Actually I told my Dr the pain was right up there with the 5 back surgeries I've had!

Hi every one. Been sleeping alot. Trying to stay hydrated and walk as much as I can. I feel like I couldn't sleep in the hospital since the nurses or whoever comes in like every hour. I am home now. Stayed an extra night since I couldn't keep my pills down. I've been staying away from the medicine anyways since I kept throwing up.

Hi Molly...hopefully u will feel better soon and be able to keep your meds down. Take it easy and rest

[Bloomer723 75]

Thanks for the update. I've been thinking about you.

[MollyF22 62]

I am doing much better then am. Taking my meds and been walking. Staying hydrated too. I've been sleeping in the recliner. Having some random spasms but I just feel like ive pulled my left side. Nothing even on the right hurts. It's horrible throwing up on iv medicine. At one point I didn't take anything because I was tired of getting sick. Each day is going to be better

[MollyF22 62]

I'm still doing good. It's about 1040pm. About to get in my recliner for a bit. Been drinking alot more and ate some Jello.

[Bloomer723 75]

When is your follow up? I can't believe tomorrow is my last appointment. Any regrets?

[MollyF22 62]

That is so exciting that your last appointment is tommrow. I hope you hear something quick too. I'm gonna say you will be getting surgery early March. I definitely had regrets after wards. I miss food so bad. My husband and daughter have been eating pizza and chicken nuggets. It smells so good. I have until March 13th to go for puree foods like smooth pb and baby food like stuff. I haven't been doing my Protein Shakes but I plan to start them sometime. I started taking my Vitamins. I have my 1 insicion that hurts pretty bad but I kind of moved alot and wrong last night in the recliner trying to get comfortable. I'm trying to tell myself that food will be my reward soon enough and just relax. My stomach kind of starts hurting when I'm hungry like when it wants to growl but obviously cant. We are gonna have our bad days for sure but I hope it's enough for the outcome

[MollyF22 62]

Well I went to my in laws tonight for a bit and then to Kroger. The store was horrible. I ended up dizzy and we didn't stay long. I felt better once I got into the car. I carry my Water every where. Just never know what can happen. I started Greek yogurt and it was heaven. I miss food so bad. Everything sounds so good. I can't wait until April 13th lol.

[MollyF22 62]

Also, I have lost 12 pounds all together since pre op. 2 pounds since surgery.

[Bloomer723 75]

Glad you get to eat something other than broth. I saw on YouTube a lady who mixed the chicken tortilla broth with cream of chicken Soup and said that was delicious. My last appointment was today. Dee said Diana would submit for precert today or tomorrow. Yikes! It just got real!

[kyboo1972 90]

Wow...so excited for you Bloomer!!! And glad to see you are keeping a little more food down Molly!

[MollyF22 62]

Bloomer that's so exciting and I'm so happy. Did you lose anymore weight as your last weigh? You will get weighed 3 more times though before surgery. It's weird because in the hospital they have scales in the bed. They weighed me in my bed while prepping me friday morning. The nurse said i weighed you , do you want to know what it is ? I was like what? Lol. I was confused.

[MollyF22 62]

Thank you Kyboo. I'm trying Soup tonight since it's on our list and I'm tired of all the sweet stuff. It's gonna be harder with the soup though since I haven't tried something so filling. We will see how it goes.

[Bloomer723 75]

I was down .4 so not much of a change but at least in the right direction. Molly did you gain between your last Ivan appointment to your last pre-op?
