Finally made it to the losers bench!

Sleeved yesterday, getting released to go home this afternoon. So far everything is going well.

    VSGnewguy we had surgery the same day. I am wondering if you were released today as well? And also if you have gas pain? How much water were you able to drink today?

    Yes, was released this afternoon. Good pain meds have definitely worn off. Lol.
    Have been sipping all day but didn't track. I will start tracking tomorrow. I can say that getting in the fluids is tougher than I expected. How about you?

    Yes, getting in the Fluid is very difficult, this morning still causing waves of slight nausea each sip. I am right now just trying to get in the meds that I need, blood thinner and miralax both dissolved in Water, then need to take Pepcid and will have to wash it down because that flavor is nasty in the chewable. Seems so silly to struggle over a glass of water when during prep-op I was chugging up to 100oz a day. Last night pain was manageable, I took the provided pain meds, liquid acetaminophen, but it gave me nightmares I could not escape from so I do not want to take it again.

    The prescribed meds gave me nightmares also...

    No nightmares but the pain meds aren't doing that much for me so I'm trying to get off of them.
