Nerves have been setting in for the past week or so....But shoo! They are full blown today. I am so ready to be waking up from the surgery and starting my life as a "sleever". Can you guys leave me advice on what I should buy to "eat" for the first couple weeks? Liquid diet, puree' stage, soft food stage, etc. I'd really appreciate it!

Has anyone heard from Tiffany? Her surgery was Monday and I haven't seen here online since then....I'm just wondering how she is doing.

I'm having a rough time. Puking a lot, I puke every time I take my pain medicine which is liquid, and even sometimes when I only drink the smallest sip of Water I puke. I've been in a lot of pain, and can hardly drink anything due to throwing up and all the pressure in my chest. My follow up appointment is tomorrow. I'm going to explain what's going on and update you on what they decide to do. Thanks for checking on me!

I'm feeling better today, day 3. I actually started off feeling somewhat okay yesterday but the nurse gave me some morphine and two other drugs through my iv and it was downhill from there until it wore off I guess. I'm hoping to go home today.

Keep us updated Tiffany! Sending prayers your way

I haven't vomited any more, still pretty sore. My doctor said me dry heaving probably made me more sore than I would have been. I've been able to pee, but still no BM. The gas pains are rough...feel like my chest/stomach are exploding at times. I just had my post op appointment and they said I'm doing good, beside one incision that's red around it. I have to keep an eye on it and if the redness spreads any more they'll put me on some antibiotics. I still feel bad....but I feel better than I did. Hopefully I keep improving! Getting all my Water and Protein in is hard with all this pressure in my chest and stomach. I'm doing my best. I hope everyone else is doing okay!

@@tiffanymarie6997 Glad to hear you're starting to feel a little better. I haven't had my surgery yet, but from what I've seen on this site from folks who have, it gets better each day.......Hang in there and walk as much as you can..,,,,and when you can't rest.

Keep us updated.

Try and walk as much as possible to help with the gas pains! Glad you feel better - hope things keep improving!

If your pain medicine is anything other than liquid Tylenol then that is probably why you are puking. Opiate pain medicine has several side effects chief among them: nausea and vomiting. You should be taking Zofran for nausea first then liquid Tylenol for pain in that order. Scopolamine patch is a transdermal system so that you get your nausea meds even if you can't keep anything else down. And yes you need a prescription. Pain meds make me so sick I had to get that patch BEFORE they gave me any anesthesia.

If you are looking for protein get some Premier Protein shakes from Amazon. They will ship to your house. Also I could not bear plain water so I got "Vitamin Water Zero"... the Rise Orange flavor was and still is the best. I hope this helps. Take care of yourself. If that redness or your pain gets any worse you call your surgeon and if he is not responsive go to the ER. If your urine gets dark go to the ER. I hope that you are feeling better, but please take care of yourself.
