Same with me!

What kind of meals are you eating at 6days postop?

I'm only 5 days postop and I'm majorly tired. I could have slept all day if my husband hasn't woken me up after a 3 hour nap. I wish I had energy!

Good luck this week to all of you!!

4 days postop and I went poo! I tried to do all day with no pain meds. Took them at 5 am and then just now at 6 took some. I feel so sore, tired, and run down. I wish I could take a hot bath. Otherwise I'm doing really well. The gas in my tummy that's rolling around reminds me of being pregnant and the baby's arm or leg moving across my belly. Very strange feeling! Looking forward to Wednesday and going to stage 2 liquid foods just for a change. I have ZERO appetite and only drink the broth, diluted juice, and jello because I'm suppose to. I like not being hungry and even smelling the wonderful cooking my husband has been doing for everyone else doesn't bother me.

I'm 3 days postop and am wondering how long it will be until I no longer need the pain meds. I'm sure it's dependent on individual pain and recovery, just don't want to stay on it and then rely on it!

Ok, just got home yesterday. Hurts to sit or stand up or get up from laying down. Hopefully I won't need them after Sunday. I so wish I could take a hot bath!

That sounds yummy!

I went to the store with my husband after we left the hospital. We grocery shopped! I got juice, and broth. He bought everything under the sun, ribs, pork steaks, bacon, sausage, meat meat meat and the entire time I was thinking how gross it all looked and sounded!! At least our fridge and pantry is stocked!! AND I'm thankful he will be cooking this next week for everyone!

I'm home!! Doing really well! Sipping sipping and walking. I'll be on a week of clear liquids then ill move to full liquids. Other then the left side pain and my crazy loopyness from the meds I'm feeling great!

My RNY was on Wednesday- I'm post-OP!! In the hospital until tomorrow. I started clear liquids today! I've been walking as much as I can without falling to sleep. And I've farted today!! Wahoo! Looking forward to being home in my own bed to snuggle my husband!

Yay!! I'm excited to be a cheap date! My husband can order and ill nibble off his plate! Loving the little bonuses!!

I'm on the losers bench!! Yesterday went pretty good. Surgery only took 1 hour and in have 6 little tiny cuts. BUT for the frat 4 hours after surgery they had me in morphine every hour and it did NOTHING! I was in so much pain I was tense and my back was starting to hurt. I begged for something different and finally they have me another med and WOW the change!! I'm going 3-4 hours in between pain meds now! I've been walking the halls, sure with there was wetter scenery down the halls Today I get to tart the liquid postop diet! I'm kinda scared to swallow anything!! But am excited for some flavors! Hope all of you out there are plugging along! What a great decision we have made for OURSELVES!!!

I just had surgery yesterday and for the first 4 hours after surgery I was on morphing and was hurting so bad! The morphine wasn't doing anything even after she upped it. So they called the surgeon and put me on something else and it's been like night and day! Ask for something different then what they have given you. I was so tense my back was starting to hurt and I couldn't sleep. Hope you are feeling better soon!

Ok I've got my IV, some seriously happy meds beaches I had a headache and I'm waiting! yay!!! Good luck surgery peeps- may God hold us ought and guide the doctors!! Ttfn see ya on the losers bench!! Xo Wendee

Husband took me out for sea food tonight! Was DELISH! Just got home with low carb high Protein yogurt, 2% milk, 1% cottage cheese, fruit cups in light syrup, sugar free Jello. I've got my deli meats and will go get protein for shakes tomorrow! Yay for the next 10 days!! M-W working, off thurs, Friday, off for the weekend, work Monday then have dentist in afternoon, pedicure after that. Work Tuesday and surgery is Wednesday! I'm doing this!!

Think this is turning into my own blog thread This morning I was 206- down from 222 in preop diet. Surgery is at 9 am tomorrow! Excited, scared, worried, mostly excited!!

Good luck ECU! I arrive at 7 and surgery is at 9! Whoa!! How did this all happen so fast! I'm ready! Ahhhhhhhhhh

Praying for you Tursday peeps!

Love carbmaster! My FAV right now is the banana cream pie!! Yummy!!

So surgery is Feb 20th. Preop diet starts Feb 10th. I'm consumed with wanting everything I know I will not be able to, and will not allow myself to eat!

Only 2 day?! I've been on my preop diet for a week now and have surgery Wednesday also!! Preop hasn't been bad, 3 oz meat, low carb yogurt, Protein shakes, cottage cheese yellow cauliflower and broccoli and cups of fruit. I've lost 15# so ill take it!

Ha! Yes 209- as of this morning I'm 207! 15 pounds down in a week on preop! Loving this!

7 days on preop- down 14# I found a decaf, no sugar peach tea to add to Water and drank two 33 oz bottles (1 packet per 33 oz) and was up all night with heartburn! Yuck. I'm cleaning out my lower kitchen cabinets today. Organizing, cleaning, decluttering. Trying to keep my mind from wondering to what Wednesdays surgery will be like. Laundry, floors, bathrooms will be up next. I look around my house and wonder if anything happens to me what will my husband do with all my stuff/furniture. We married in 2011 so basically I do have a lot of my own stuff. Have to stop thinking like that....

How's everyone doing in their preop diets? I'm 6 days in today. Haven't cheated. Feel pretty good but starting to get all weepy at everything! I did start my period Wednesday so maybe it's just hormones. I was at 222 and was 109 this morning. Nice to see the bloat is wasting some. I'm excited. Today I spoke out loud about what I was worried about- only worried about what will happen to my husband, 4 girls and 2 step children if something happens to me. That's all I'm worried about. Makes me cry thinking about it if I were to leave them. ;'( Ok enough for now. So happy or everyone postop and excited for us all this next week. Wednesday may get here a little too quickly!
