Count down begins... surgery tomorrow!



Recommended Posts

So I'm pensive but happy to start this new chapter in my life.

I was throwing up earlier this week due to either truvia or sucralose so I dumped them both from my diet and sticking to Protein Powder.< /p>

I'm so giddy...I guess I need to pack, right? Lol not planning on taking much since the hospital provides most items.

Any last minute tips or advice??

Chapstick...you will be very parched after surgery but can't drink until after the leak test(at least with mine). It helped a lot.

And start looking for pants to wear post op. I'm 5 days out and can only wear loose waisted pants since three of my incisions are right at my waistline. Drawstring is my suggestion. I tried yoga pants this morning and they aren't going to work. Too much pressure on the incision.

Good luck!!! I brought my phone charger, Chapstick, my Kindle (never used - was in for 4 days), a nightgown(never wore), a few pairs of comfy underwear (which I needed since every time I vomited or wretched - I peed myself! Lol). I also packed pads in case I got my period.

I peed right after I checked in which was a mistake because I then couldn't give a urine sample for them to run pregnancy test.

Take a deep breath and enjoy the ride. Remember the goals and why you are doing this - you may need a reminder the first few days. Walk as soon as you can and keep going! Many prayers!!!

I feel for those who were so sick. For those of you waiting for surgery I was home from the hospital in 8 hours, never vomited or had nausea, very little pain, shopped two days later. I never had much problems at all. It has really been a. breeze. Good luck everyone.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
