Surgery is now behind me, yay! I am so surprised how tired I was. The end thesis took till about midnight to wear off enough for me to get up and walk. I would fall asleep within a minute of waking and I just could not seem to get myself together! The nausea after is the worst! A combo of not eating and the meds left me feeling like I would hurl any moment. But I never did! I just kept sleeping so that I wouldn't have to deal with it.

After about 4 I refused the pain meds because I really was not hurting and I think that contributed to my nausea.

About 11 ish I guess, I got up and walked around the floor. That was a piece of cake! It's now almost two am and I am awake.. Ready to get moving! Lol

There truly is no hunger or hunger pains after surgery which I am thankful of. Should be moved to Clear Liquids in the morning. So far so good guys!

Its 525am and I was just able to get up to walk. I have a lot of pain on my right side. And I have a little had not bad. But I am just so tired. Hope everyone is doing great.

Hello....I am post op day 3. I am starting to feel human today. I only spent one night in the hospital. Came home and went to bed. Only got out of bed to pee. My pain is under control, but I do think I am having some reflux problems. I did have a hernia repaired and the doc told me that may cause some discomfort and to take it slow.

I am starting Protein shakes today. I hope I can handle them okay.

Good luck to everyone!

I'm on day 2 and going home today. So far, so good. Really couldn't ask for a better experience and I'm excited to start this new journey!

I'm POD 2 heading home today also found a huge diaphragmatic hernia and repaired it at the same time. Had some issues with gas but tolerating clears just some with ascorbic acid seem to make my tummy burn so I have avoided some of those and stuck to Water and broth and sugar free Popsicles. So far those go down well not so great with Jello yet. So taking it slow. Have had to dilute the Isopure can't have it straight.....they said first week is about hydration so not as worried about getting all the Protein in but hydrating the first week.

Good luck on your surgery. Can't wait till I can eat something in a week or two.

(Warning TMI)Has anyone else experienced the Constipation? !? I was doing great! Very minimal pain, able to move and resume light activity. Until this afternoon, I went to the restroom and I am telling you it was 1 1/2 hours of earth shattering pain! Worst feeling ever!! It was so hard and so large that I could not pass it. An enema and a lot of screaming later it finally passed some.. I had hubby run to Walgreens and pick up Miralax to take. Gosh I hope the worst is behind me!!!

So if this hasn't happened yet.. I recommend taking miralax now!!!

Did you take a stool softener??? Or you can give yourself a fleet.

Milk of magnesia works like a charm! And really helps the bloated feeling!

I was sleeved on the 12th how's everyone doing?

[jolms 28]

I was sleeved on the 9th and going regularly. Hydrate is all I can say. The only day I didn't get all my fluids in I didn't go.
