July 26ers

Thought I'd start a thread for those that are having their surgery July 26th so we can all vent/compare how we are feeling at each stage of the journey. How is everyone feeling at this point? I keep getting this question: Are you stressed or excited? My answer is both!

    Nauseous. Pain isn't too bad. Mouth is dry and I just want to take a sip of water!

    I feel worse than I had hoped. I think it is only the gas though. I have walked a couple times and would LOVE some water right now.

    I can't sip or have ice yet, I'm so dry. I also have constant nausea. They have tried 3 different nausea meds and I'm still dry heaving. Pretty miserable. Convinced that it will get better every day

    I'm so sorry ChaCha, everyone reacts different to surgery. I hope it gets better for you soon. Walking really helped a lot for me to release the gas. Did you ask for a different pain med? That could possibly be making you nauseous?
