April surgeries?

[Frustr8 7,886]

Yeah you, Aprilgal, I figured by now the "brand-new" glow is settling into reality, day to day become your mode, and though you're still a little tender, life seems at a slightly off- balance level, things are starting to resolve?

Hmmm. Let's see. I am still sore. I have timers on my phone set to keep me on target liquids wise. I am trying to get in 5k steps a day but always find that I am fatigued after being active sometimes. To be honest, I didn't have any expectations pre-surgery- I do think things will be more clear about my new reality once I am no longer in pain.

So, I think things are going okay. I did put on about 10 pounds worth of fluids due to iv while in the hospital, but I am happy to say I reached my pre-surgery weight yesterday.

How are you doing?

I'm doing ok, My surgery is in 2 days. It's on Monday, April 22nd. Good to hear that you are staying active. From what I read, each day things get better.

Hi, new member. Surgery was April 16, UT Davis Clinic in Houston.

Recovery is going well so far. Just been staying on the pre-surgery Protein Shakes so far. Had three today which is the most I’ve eaten since the surgery. Did have some cream of potato Soup (threw it in a blender we added some extra water)

I feel like I’m drinking Water too quickly but 1 oz every 15 minutes was too slow. Drinking the shakes slowly though - trying for 20-30 minutes per shake, though I instinctively want to drink faster.

Tomorrow is the big day for me. I will be so glad when it is finally over. Mainly because I think one of the worst parts of waiting is having had all this time to think of all the things that could possibly go wrong, and wondering/worrying how the pain and nausea and such will be for me. I pray that all of you who are about to have your surgery that all will go well and a speedy recovery for you all. I pray that all those who just had the surgery will have a speedy recovery as well.
