I'm having my surgery Oct 5th my per op class is Sept 23rd. I'm getting super excited only thing that worries me is missing classes I just enrolled into two classes and they start the 14th I'll be missing 3 classes plus a whole week of surgery. Hoping my teachers will be okay and let me work it out so I don't fall behind or get knocked for missing class.

I just finished my last preop Nut visit. Great info! Day 4 of preop diet. Dealing with a bit of a headache today. Surgery day 10/21.

I hope all that have already had surgery are recovering well.

@@60&goin4it how are you????

I just saw you posted on other topic! Glad you are doing well. So it seems like most are spending only one night in the hospital. Has that been the experience for those that have had surgery thus far?

@ Yes that was my experience. I couldn't sleep there so went home as soon as possible.

60 how are you feeling did everything go well I want to hear all about it????

@SleevinChica I am still in the hospital. Had my surgery Thursday . Most likely being released today.

Finally at home. Surgeon said surgery went beautifully. Lots of drainage. Not much hunger. Otherwise feeling good!

So glad u guys are doing well keep letting us know what to expect 10 days to go????

Looks like I am staying another day..they are ordering chest xrays.

Hey guys I had my surgery 10/7 got released today!! It went well but can't can't really hold down the shakes not cause they won't just nasty!!! Also when did your doctors say you can go to cottage cheese ect..?

Congratulations and glad u are feeling well!

I will be on full liquids 14 days prior to moving to mushy phase

Hi everyone!! Surgery went better than expected!! The hardest part was not getting any sleep the night before surgery, & only 2 hrs. at the hospital. Very tired. My first sips of water & protein mix made me a little nauseous in the hospital, but other than that I did really well. Got home yesterday afternoon feeling really good but very tired. The hard part is drinking water & your protein mix. They gave me 5 -1oz cups to put my protein & water in. Drinking 2 of protein mix & 3 waters to be finished in 1 hour. Then I walk after I have those down around the house. Your time is spent sip sip sip you can't take the whole 1 oz at one time, thats what makes it so time consuming, you have to wait a couple of minutes to take the next sip. then walk take vitamins pills etc. I don't know how anybody could work or take care of other's during this 2 week time. My incision's are very minimal with no pain. My stomach slight pain, but I put a heating pad (not too hot) on it & it helped. One thing I did that didn't feel so good, I took pain meds when I went to bed last night. You can have 1or 2, so I thought I need sleep terribly & I took 2, one at a time, I waited 5 min. to take the 2nd one. I felt like they both got stuck for good 2 hrs. but it finally went away. They had told me to wait 10min. before taking a second pill, I will know better nextime. Well I better get off here, I have to go sip sip! Take care everyone! I've added the new dates for you who wasn't on the list!! Praying that everyone's surgery turns out as good as mine has!!

Glad things went well! I'm still very sore, and having a hard time getting all my water down. Lots of pain on left side stomach and back. Hopefully it gets better soon.

Cottage cheese is on my puréed list which starts week 3! I can only have full liquids next week! ????

Wait, I stocked up on premier shakes. I thought that was my go-to drink for right after surgery. That and water. Am I wrong?
