I'm having surgery in December and wondered if I had someone out there to go through this with?

I had mine on Dec 5th. I'm doing great. I started pureed foods today[emoji847]

The gas was terrible for me the first 3 days! I'm feeling fantastic now though! Good luck today. Please share how it goes!

Well, I was a little disappointed. My weight was actually 1 pound heavier than presurgery. The doctor did point out I was retaining fluid. Pretty badly. So shifted a couple of my meds and work from there. Full liquid diet until Christmas Eve then to puree foods. Yay! I am so worried about screwing this up.

Oh no. I'm so sorry. Hopefully the med change will help. My follow-up is tomorrow. I'm on full-liquid for 21 days post-op, so I will be liquid until January 1. I'm beginning to get creative!

Hey every body I had my bypass on the 10th. I had to stay in the hospital 4 days. First day after surgery I was up walking and doing well. 2nd day I went into Atril Fib so that stopped everything no walking until they could get me back in regular heart rhythm. Then my I.V infiltrated with that harsh heart med and to this day site is very hard and painful But now I am 1 week out and doing good getting my shakes and fluids in and feeling so positive about the future cant wait until I can stronger and stronger.

I'm doing well with the fluids but not so much with the shakes. They're thick. It's hard to get them down. Got any tricks?

I stayed 2 days. Blood pressure and oxygen levels both really low. I have to keep an eye on both at home. Feeling good getting most all my protein and water in most days. Enjoying the nicer weather here and walking outside. Oxygen level is fine. Blood pressure depends on what day and time I guess. Congratulations and best wishes for you to keep moving forward.

I use Muscle Milk protein powder. It makes good hot chocolate or with ice in the blender. I like the tast of it. Second best is Premiere Protein shakes real icy cold. That is what works best for me. My sister also got me some unflavored protein powder to add to other things. I have like a ton of water flavor packets so it makes the water more interesting.

Oh yes I love creativity. Have you seen the Campbell's Well Yes Sipping Soups? Love them. I have sugar free jello and pudding, popsicles. Broth makes me feel good and warm tea. For some reason yogurt doesn't agree with me right now anyway. Create, create, create. [emoji3] [emoji274] [emoji3] [emoji274] [emoji148] [emoji188] [emoji148]

I had my pre-op today... surgery date of 12/26. Merry Christmas to me! So excited! Today the lady doing my EKG gave me one of the stickers from the hospital with all my info on it, plus my surgery date. She told me to go home and put it in my Bible and every time I see it thank God for this time to get a new lease on my life. So sweet. Incredibly true too. So thankful!

And on December 26th( which is also My Birthday) I will be praying all goes well for you! ?Keep us updated on this journey!???

Will be praying for you as well. It will be an honor to welcome you to the loser bench. We will be starting a new life for the New Year.

Just got home from my post-op. 10 days out and he said I'm doing great. I've been cleared to go to the gym! Up to 15lbs, but hey! That's so exciting to me. I am 20.2lbs down since November 26th, which I'm excited about. Still full liquid until January 1.

In hospital they gave me a compression band. The nurse was so nice and the wrap was a dream. I still have it and though I can go without it I wear it especially when walking or extreme moving around. I will have to get the spanx suit. I know it will also help the stoma muscles.
