Is there anything you can tell me, my surgery's September 22, that you wish some one would have told you pre operatively? TIA

Everyone said it but really really take it to heart.....DRINK YOUR WATER! :-) :-) :-) it makes such a difference and getting dehydrated feels really bad. I was out of it when I came home and thought I was getting in all my fluids but wasn't. By day 3,4 I was in bad shape. My mom came to the rescue, took me to her house, read my instructions and got me back on track. By day 5 I was a different person. Doesn't matter if you eat but you have to get in your Water. Good luck!

Amen Ramona! Same, I was in bad shape as well. Took me a hospital stay to learn. It's SOOOO important to get that Water in no matter what. Also, it's not an easy way out. Surgery is changing your whole life, changing how you eat, what you eat, when you eat. It's not easy but I'm convinced it will be worth it.

A hospital stay sounds scary gustavio. I will make sure I keep track of my fluids. Thank you!

Just listen to your doctor and follow your plan you were given. The healing phase is so important to prevent potential complications. You will be allowed real food again and your life will feel like normal again before you know it.
