Enjoy the day Best decision you made -

After surgery get up and walk the halls trust me you will know why

Good luck today, congratulations on your journey. I didn't sleep well the night before either but couldn't stay awake afterwards, the nurses woke me up several times.

Good luck with your journey. I hope you have a speedy recovery . Let us know how your feeling and what you are getting down in. The first few days.

Thanks everyone. Got home about 12 hours ago. Was very tired, weak, and gassy but slowly getting better.
Few things I noticed. Also keep in mind that my surgeon actually moves you to the purred/Soft food diet the day after surgery. I know not a lot do that but for some reason he does. Two friends of mine also used the same surgeon and same thing happened.

1. Yesterday I only took in about 450 calories. Did have some ground chicken with low-fat ricotta cheese which was well tolerated but only about 1 oz total. Had about 50 grams of protein. Doc wants me at 90 per day. plan today is to incorporate premier shakes 2x a day at 30 grams per serving. In reality I know I may only be able to have 1/2 and then another 1/2 later. Not pushing it. 1 scrambled egg for breakfast, a no fat yogurt for lunch, and the chick for dinner.

2. How long does it take for the tiredness and weakness to get better? Seriously the past 48 hours since surgery I think I slept like 30-40 hours lol

3. Gas-x has also been a miracle for me.

Wow sounds like you are holding your own, keep up the good work. In answer to the tiredness, I was tired for a few weeks but not anything like the first few days. Had my surgery on a Thursday and the following Friday (a week later, not the day after lol) I was cleaning out my entire linen closet, a week after that I went to Atlantic City for the weekend, walked and walked and walked the boardwalk. So I. One respect I had energy to do a lot but when I needed to close my eyes I did. Listen to your body, or knows what it needs and if it needs rest let it rest. Be well, keep us posted

Yes I slept like the whole first 24hrs post surgery..

Great job! Keep it up, everything can be overwhelming, but you seem to have it all under control.
