Home and in my own bed. Pain is pretty much minimal, almost gone. I can't imagine eating anything. Sipping is a little challenging because all I want to do is sleep! Walking and bending are easy though.

yea I an an April 1 surgery too. sipping small enough is a challenge for me. and yes I am so tired.

I am not really in pain, just have trouble getting comfortable.

I am not getting in all my protein yet, but attempting to get water in. I hear that staves off nausea.

Keep updating! Hope you and I are just a little better tomorrow

Saw my surgeon today for the final visit before Tuesday, does anyone else have to have shots after surgery? I have to give myself a shot for three days when I am home it’s a blood thinner not heparin it starts with a L I also have to drink potassium and take Pepcid for 4 months

Me too, I am sending you best wishes too. As for me, I finally released some gas today, apparently that's a milestone and a big deal. Just sipping, walking and sleeping. The worst part of this is just the boredom. Laying around, thinking about protein and dehydration, or reading. I like the idea of eating "real food", but tbh if a whole platter of Chinese food was in front of me I wouldn't want it. Before surgery, Chinese food was my favorite food, my total downfall, lol! Now I don't know what I like anymore. I want to chew on something salty but all food is disgusting right now. Hope it lasts! Best wishes to everybody here.

Oh and I lost 6 lbs!

I got hit with a lot of heparin shots yesterday but they made me drink some phosphorus and potassium. Maybe your blood came back a little low?

No everyone that is in they’re program has to do the same thing, well for the bypass

How are you feeling

I have to do blood thinner for 2 weeks. They didn’t give me the rest at my appointment on the 27th and I have no more appointments before Tuesday.
