Hi everyone, I had my surgery less than 24 hours ago and writing this in the hospital now. I made it very clear to my anesthesiologist and care team nausea is a concern for me and they’ve done everything they can to mitigate. So much that I’ve only felt one bout of nausea. The pain I’m feeling is uncomfortable but not unbearable. Feel like I did crazy ab exercise and feeling sore. Overall I feel good but this could be the fact I have an IV. Am I dreaming? Will I feel like crap when I get home?

Yeah I wonder if they’ll let me move to full liquid diet and then purée a lot faster since I am having zero issues getting liquids down.

Hi everyone! Still feeling great. But I’m feeling like I have such horrible cravings for real food. Like I just want some peanut butter, or a chicken breast. Even a whole wheat quesadilla. Is this normal??

ACEs is my passion in life. So glad you brought this up!

Yes that’s exactly it. I feel like I did an intense workout. Thank you!

Update: They discharged me! Still feeling good.

I’m cautiously optimistic. Thanks all!!

Hi!! Lots of trauma here 😃 I’m trying to think of each pound that is shed is me taking back my power. I have had tons of therapy and I’m going to start my book. I Hope that’s healing too.

Congrats!! Good luck on the preop diet! Surgery day for me. See ya on the other side.

Surgery day for me! Had a dream last night I couldn’t make it to the hospital. And then when I did I scarfed two slices of pizza hahah

How much did you save to get your work done? Hope you’re recovering nicely!

Same!! Jan 13! On the pre-op protein liquid diet. Thought I was doing well but my energy is so low.
