My surgery is the 21st. Is there any other late June people here to share stories and support? Could use buddies!

Much the same for me only early morning surgery helped me only have one night in hospital. Glad to hear others had phlegm thought it was just me. I was so over the iv fluids all I did was pee pee pee. Plus the fluids brought my blood pressure up. Now just achy when drinking. So far have had one and 1/4 protein shake and some water. Trying to walk more tired. Doing the breathing thing.

How is everyone doing with the gas? I'm burping like non stop

i had my surgery yesterday (the 22nd) and arrived home late this afternoon.

so far just a lot of discomfort from the gas still and some nausea of i sip too much Water too fast.

going to stay with clear liquids (water) tonight and try a Protein shake tomorrow morning for some energy.

whew!

Moderate to mild gas some burping worried that no poop for days now though!

Anyone have one of these stupid pump things attached like a purse to stomach?

That pump looking thing is a drain, my was removed before I was discharged.

My gas isn't too bad, but I'm doing this weird almost hiccup thing that hurts like heck! I've got scopolamine patch on that's good for 72 hours, plus taking Zofran and promethazine, so there's been no nausea at all.

What are you all using for clear liquid Protein? I actually like several flavors of Isopure Zero Carb, so the sipping part is a little more tolerable, although I'm really missing the hospital ice chips.

You might go as long as 10 days with no bowel movement, since nearly everything you're drinking is being absorbed.

I am on same protein drinks as pre op so using premier as easier to take smaller amounts. I had protein broth and protein jello at hospital. Not completely clear liquid then like others I guess.

I'm over a week post op and still hiccup like crazy. It hurts so bad! And I had my first bowel movement 5 days after surgery. Once you start on Protein shakes it'll help. Plus I drink egg drop Soup which helped too.

My "pump" thing is a ball of pain meds. It is for six days post surgery. The ball gets smaller as days go on and it says on-q pain relief. They explained that it is meds so definitely not a drain. It is annoying and it is not like I want to go outside to walk with my little "purse" attached to stomach! I may have gotten because I distinctly remember whining in pain immediately post op.

Just got home. Went well. Going to get some sleep and will post more later

Good luck suzzzzz mine is Tuesday, keep us posted
