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.

Glad to hear that both of your are doing well! It seems like most are able to get up and get moving rather quickly that's great.

I have to be at the hospital my 11 for 1:00 pm surgery. I am thirsty already.

@ you will do great. They found problems with me. They said when they went in they saw that my intestines were in the wrong place and kinda twisted plus my colon was floppy and shaped funny, which is why I'm always constipated. So they had to fix somethings up. They removed my herina and ire firmed the bypass as normal.

@@irishaggie what was the puree?

@@CHELLB33 I guess I am a bit nervous too since I am a revision patient. What we do know is that my stomach is twisted. He said it could be longer than normal surgery time because they don't really know until they get in. I have a hernia repair too!

I am glad they were able to get you all fixed up and on the road to recovery. How are you feeling this morning? When will you get released?

I got through surgery just fine and have been taking walks around the nurses station on a regular basis. If I pass the swallow test this am, I upgrade to broth and jello - whoohoo!

Hey guys, my surgery went well. I woke up with a lot of abdominal pain but it's manageable now. I walked twice yesterday and trying to sip on water. Hopefully I feel better today. I don't like pain.

So glad you both did well!! You will be through this before you know it! Gets better every day!!!

Sending hugs!!

Going home today! Finally passed some gas this am and I just wish more would come out. The surgery doesn't seem bad really- it's the gas! I'm drinking ok though. Not really looking forward to the 1 1/2 hour drive home but I'm sooooo looking forward to home.

Congrats to everyone and happy healing! Sip sip sip!

Haven't posted in awhile post-op not going so great I was very nauseous past week unable to even get water down was throwing up had to get iv and vitamin bag they did endoscopy thought my intestine shrunk was going to dilate it.wasn't the problem is I already have ulcer the pills are real expensive to coat it really having second thoughts about surgery. Up until this was following everything to a t definitely starting to second guess this.

I'm feeling ok just lower stomach pain. I've been walking and should get released tomorrow. I taste some jello but it's super sweet so I don't want it. I heard that my taste buds would change I guess they have. Lol

Sorry to hear things are not going well. I hope it improves for you soon. Xo

@@sweettooth2015 Glad you are doing well!! If you don't have any gas prices ains it should be pretty smooth sailing!!!

@@anewme2015 Glad your doing well as well!!! Did your doctor give you a patch for nausea for behind your ear before surgery? Mine did, just wondering if other's did. I only had nausea this whole time with my first sips of water & protein drink.

I got the patch behind the ear too.

I had the behind the ear pTch and they gave me zofran before sipping anything so no nausea yet

@@irishaggie what was the puree?

@@edie091371 - I'm kinda embarrassed to say, lol… kinda a desperate for something different - or something familiar, more like it - kinda recipe. We all got home from one of my son's football games and I made them protein pancakes (Kodiak Brand, lots of protein, little sugar)… well, there was one left and I had not eaten myself. I grabbed the remaining pancake, put it in a bowl with Fairlife skim milk and some sugar free syrup and went to town with my handheld mixer stick… and voila! pureed pancake, lol! I scarfed it. It was only about 1/2 a cup, but I ate too fast and too much and was uncomfortable for awhile. Still learning

@@irishaggie it's okay I think i just did a big no no. Bought broccoli cheese soup today at Jason's Deli, pureed it...ate about an ounce and a half way too fast and now I am suffering...not my best moment thus far.

First day home and there's just no way I'm getting in 60-80 grams of protein. I'm struggling with the fluid as is. I'm sure this is normal. I keep walking but no relief as of yet. My stomach is huge and stretched! Ugh.

Lol @ puréed pancake!

Why is everything I'm tasting so sweet? Has my taste buds changed. They brought me jello it's so sweet and now the chicken broth is sweet as well ugh and leaves a nasty taste in my mouth. Did anyone feel this way right after surgery?
