1/31!!

Doing well, definitely need to take drinks slowly. Second and third day had a lot of stomach cramps with each sip. Today much better, but I have zero energy! Hope that changes soon. How about you??

SO excited for you!! Some quick advise based on my surgery experience (if you don't mind)...if you are typically nauseated after any surgery make sure to tell them so they give you extra meds before and after surgery to minimize vomiting risk. I did, but still vomited twice and it was not fun. And don't worry if you can't get enough liquids down 24 hrs aftercoming out of surgery, it will get easier the following days! You got this!!!

Well I'm 4 days post op! Zero issues with hydration and Protein. 80 0z liquids so far today and 65 grams of protein. Never had "sharp pain" but felt like I had an ab workout from hell that I'm still trying to get over the soreness lol. No nausea. No diarrhea. No leaks. No complications. Had surgery at 10 am the 1st and headed home around 9am the next morning. No issues with my chewable vitamins. No horror stories of gad pains from the lapo. Was belching day of surgery, passing gas by day 3, first BM day 4. Taking Miralax each morning, mixed w Gatorade zero. Taking just Tylenol, still have two "pain pills" just in case. Drove my car today! No temp or taste issues. I feel super grateful my luck so far! Down 11.6 lbs but I'm assuming IV fluids weight is alot of that number. I have 6 incisions like the first photo. The bruised one is the one they place the stapler through.
