Surgery hat on head lol

Praying for your surgery to go well and a speedy recovery. I love the step by step. I will be following you. My surgery is next week.

Congrats on your surgery day! Best of luck!

Hoping all goes well and that you have a speedy recovery.

Well 9:30pm. Recovery it's a little tough. I've had gastritis for years. I don't fart for some reason so getting the co2 out has been tough. I finally just burped for the first time thank God.

When I first got out the stomach pain was really bad but two hits of demirol and one of delotted (sp) and I slept and woke up better

Girls. To say you don't get hungry is a under statement. I've had nothing but Water all day. Zero appetite. Like literally zero. Gonna try broth and Jello tomorrow. I've gotten nauseous a couple times but held it back

Feeling ok right now. Blood pressure is a little high other wise I'm pretty good.

Yay burp. The gas is the hardest part of recovery but it's doable. Walk walk walk. Sip sip sip. And breath breath breath. There is this breathing treatment you di every hour to prevent pneumonia

I'll keep u posted! Thks!

My surgery is scheduled for 11/17th /15. I am scared. My husband does not support my decision. I will probably be alone for my surgery. Praying for God mercy and blessings.

Thanks for the information

Omg!!! Congratulations!!! So exciting. I can't wait to get mine!!! The pain of recovery definitely scares me. ????????

I'm glad your surgery went well. I hope you get he gas out soon. ????

Glad you are doing good and thank you for keeping us up to date. My surgery is in 11 days so your posts will help me hopefully not be soooo nervous! You took a giant step today! Best wishes!

Great to hear it went well. Get some rest (in between walking and sipping and breathing)! ????

Night was a little rough. Again due to being a no-fart person lol.

Much better today. Took last dose of pain meds and now I'm on Fluid counting. 4oz per hour. Started with protien shake. Now broth. Then Jello

Super excited becuz the liquid diet part is easy!. Cuz you're totally not hungry so not having to eat is almost a relief. Drinking much more appealing

Should be released this afternoon ????

So happy to hear that you are on the road to recovery. Stay strong and positive!

Good luck!!

Glad you are doing well! I'm up on Monday!!

Well guys. I have to say I was feeling really good in the hospital before my discharge but when I got home it was seriously rough going. I threw up twice was nauseous and in pain. Again mostly due to gas I think.

I took mylanta gas chewable and I thought it was working but then I threw up. What's making me throw up was the amount of mucus in my system.

In any case after a rough several hours I was finally able to get my pain meds and now I feel much better.
