ashelaine 383 Posted November 19, 2012 Hi everyone! I hope it's ok I join in here. I had my surgery 11/13. I'm doing decent getting my fluids in and I'm starting to feel like a real human again. I had one of the not fun early recoveries and I was nauseous from immediately after surgery until day 3. I woke up in terrible pain in recovery. But that has subsided. I did start my TOM yesterday and I have had diarrhea for the last 2 days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ozeedonkee 145 Posted November 19, 2012 Ok, since we're talking poop - used a microlax yesterday (charming), which worked immediately. This morning had a bm as normal. Great start to the day I was afraid of leaving it too long Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

allthatjazz4u 204 Posted November 19, 2012 I was sleeved on the 14th. :-) so far so good. I'm just having a tough times getting in my 64 oz of fluids and the Protein ...but I haven't had to take pain melds since friday and finally feel well enough to drive Sent from my iPad using VST Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fallenangel2904 494 Posted November 19, 2012 I don't know why I was so excited for number 2...because now I have diarrea. Bleh. Aside from that doing really well. Finally able to stand straighter today and not look like the hunch back. My back had been killing me since this pulled muscle when I got home and I've been hunched between that and the pulling in my dent/middle incision. The incision still hurts and pulls but I'm able to straighten out and actually walk around a bit. Felt well enough to cook some home made Soup today. Every day is getting easier yay!

The thought of Protein Shakes makes me ill since I woke up the other day totally hating everything that was sweet. So it's a challenge. I only had about half of what I should have yesterday. Today if I follow my plan of foods I should have almost 60 which is a huge improvement. Water not so great still. Only gotten about half in today so far.

TaraInDC 55 Posted November 19, 2012 I had my first follow up appointment today and the doctor is not happy with my Fluid intake. I'm hustling today trying to get more in. I'm totally sick of Jello, Protein Shakes, broth and crystal light but hopefully I can get everything in today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I actually bought some unflavored protein that I'm sprinkling on everything! I add it to the broths, creamed Soups and plain yogurt. I've actually created my own little "parfaits" using plain Greek yogurt and crystal light...they are super yummy! And packs protein! 1 TaraInDC reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ozeedonkee 145 Posted November 19, 2012 Yes, I am going to get some unflavoured Protein too. It surely has to be easier to add a bit to everything rather than trying to choke down shakes. I am also only managing 32oz of Water. I don't think that's too bad only being less than a week out. I hope by the end of week 2 that I can get the required 64oz.

missy-la 7 Posted November 20, 2012 I had surgery on the 14th, went home the 16th. No nausea, but they always made sure I had anti-nausea meds. Sore! Like someone else said, feel like I've dove a million situps! And still haven't pooped. BUT . . I am diabetic, was on a combination oral med and a small bit of nightly insulin before surgery. HAVE NOT NEEDED ANY DIABETES MEDS SINCE MY LAST DAY IN THE HOSPITAL! Completely normal blood sugars ever since, I am so happy!!!!! 1 nishia99 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
