amaggie 8 Posted October 25, 2012 Thanks everyone! As far as prepping goes I followed the recommendations from people on the forms and did not use any of it! Was too tired to mess with my phone or laptop. They gave me a lip moisturizer so I didn't use my stuff. I brought gas x but found out walking was just as effective. But I never had the sharp pains people talk about. I am finding it hard to sleep for more then 3 hrs at a time so I take a few laps around my house' date=' sip on some Water and go back to bed. I was cleared for Protein shakes right away but I am not using them cuz it's hard enough for me to get my Water in right now. I'm more worried about dehydration then Protein right now[/quote'] Good luck with your recovery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gaye jarvis 751 Posted October 25, 2012 Way to go Donny! It sounds like you got this thing licked! I'm with you on the sweet drinks, I am 4 months out and I can't eat or drink anything with sugar in it, it makes me sick, but I guess that is to my advantage, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to lose 87 lbs!

I was fortunate enough to not have a catheter, drain, or blood thinner shots. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
