Surgery twins, LVB! I'm soooooo hungry today, lol. Are you on clear liquids too?

Today is my 14th day of pre-op liquid diet. Actually by now managing fairly well.

That's commendable. I only had to do 5 full and 2 clear.

Same to both of you.

Remember to walk and walk. Go slow and follow your medical team's instructions for diet. Also, just breathe you are going to do great. Looking forward to seeing you on the loser's bench. God Bless!

Wow!!! Are you nervous or excited? Or both?

I’m both lol can’t sleep i don’t know if it’s nerves or the fact that i can’t eat or drink right now and I’m beyond thirsty lol

Mel and Jdy how did your surgeries go?

I was out of recovery and in my room by 11:45am, and then taking my first walk by 12:30pm.

I’m taking water, ice, tea, and Jello without issues. Took my first pain medication by mouth this evening. Did find out ice cold water for swallowing pills is a little painful — warm water works much better for me.

They indicated I should be discharged by about 10:00am provided I can get 4oz of protein shake down within 1 hour — and keep it down.

It went great just took my 2nd walk... I went into surgery at 1 PM then came out around four or 5 can’t really remember Since then a lot of gas pain but for the most part I’m doing good swallowing eyes water is definitely painful I don’t think I’ll get discharged until tomorrow
