Hey There! Any December 2021 Surgery Friends?

[LadyH 57]

I had to send a message to the “team” to get the diet instructions we supposedly “…already received at the pre-op class” but the class isn’t scheduled until Dec. 10, which is also just 5 days before my surgery. You’d think they might want to share that BEFORE the patient is required to start the 14 day diet. So, I get my Zoom pre-op class, diet instructions, virtual book, and surgery instructions just 5 days before surgery.

I’m guessing chances are slim the Zoom class format will maintain patient confidentiality so they don’t broadcast our names and faces to everybody in the program and across the web.

Yesterday was my surgery still very tired ( so I won’t go into too much) but that gas pain is the devil!

I just bought 4 cases of Premier Protein Water for post op. I couldn’t find any local so got it on Amazon $100 ouch

@NikoNiko do you still have a lot of gas today?

After surgery yesterday I slept like all day and tried to move while awake trying to get the gas pain to go. It finally let up today except when I’m trying to drink the broth-liquid Protein mix.

Not as much. But I’m still very full. I still have not passed any gas. Working on my Fluid and Protein goals and walking. So far I’ve taken about 20 ounces of Water. And half of a Premier Protein shake. I bought some concentrated protein that has 18 grams/ 1 oz. I took one shot of that as well.

Post-op day two… feeling the soreness of those incisions but it’s not bad. I think I will feel a million times better if i go to the bathroom or pass lots of gas.
