Why joke...why not believe it?! We WILL bring sexy back to US!!!

How long is your per-op diet? Mine is only 2 weeks so I start on the 12th....my surgery is the 26th

Mine is 3 weeks...it's pretty rough, hoping I'll get used to it soon!

Loose clothes to wear home. A small firm pillow to hold against your stomach getting in and out of bed and to put between your stomach and the seatbelt. If your hospital allows it: dissolvable Gas X and a heating pad.

Thanks , very good ideas thanks, i loveto have my favorite pillow at the hospital, i'll try to get the gas X too.

Ok guys' date=' I DID IT!!! I have to be honest though yesterday was not fun. Everyone is different and I was hoping to be one the lucky ones and whiz right through but not the case. It took 6 different tries to get my IV in, and coupled with my anxiety, wasn't good. The incision pain I can deal with, but this gas pain is all over my abdomen, shoulders and back. It really does help to walk although it is very painful gritting in and out of bed. I vomited many times yesterday and that hurt so bad. So if you can do anything, try not to, I just couldn't do it. BUT..... Today is much better, I already had to drink the leak dye and I keep telling the nurse I was going to throw it up, but I didn't, I actually kept it down. My heating pad I brought has helped me immensely with my shoulder and back pain so if you have one pack it.! so I'll try and post later and tell you how today goes.[/quote']

Thanks for the advice regarding the heating pad!

Hi it is second day post - op. I am feeling pretty good. All the anesthesia has worn off so I am sore. But not terrible pain. I started my Protein Drinks today. Had a Premiere chocolate one in the morning and am finishing a nectar Ice tea lemon flavored packet. Not too bad. I took a half dose of my pain medicine so I told hubby I could even run to the store with him. And then naptime when I get back. I weighed myself this morning and I don't know if it was the IV's or my body is holding on to liquid but I was up to my weight starting the pre-op diet. Hope that goes away quickly. It is hard getting out of bed. Anyway hanging in here.
