getlownurse 105 Posted June 21, 2013 Yep, same here. sleep, sip, walk, sip, sleep etc. haven't slept more than two hours at a time. Not sure why? Maybe because I'm still in the hospital, but I get to leave today. 2 Cheer Mama and nursesettie reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
takingbackcontrol 137 Posted June 21, 2013 Because someone wakes you up every two hours in the hospital!! I spent my first night home last night in my own bed and even slept flat w no discomfort. It was great to be in my own bed:) 3 Cheer Mama, newlife27 and nursesettie reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was great to be in my own bed:) I was lucky on this front. They only woke me at 3am and moved vitals to the same time as blood draw while I was in there so I could sleep! My hospital was great!

ratrita 45 Posted June 21, 2013 Good luck to all! Post-op soft food diet isn't too bad. It is nice to have some different flavors. Added GNC's Isopure Zero Carb 40 Protein flavored drinks to my daily sipping. Flavors aren't too bad and it is better than all the shakes. It helps get all the Proteins in! Looking forward to adding a variety of foods in about 3 weeks. Hope everyone has an easy road!! 3 SheWins1, nursesettie and brandnew reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Reberm 29 Posted June 22, 2013 I am day 14 post op having been doing pretty good. tomorrow I start soft mushy so moving out of puree's each step is sure a change. The last 3 days or so I am having back pain right in the middle close to my bra back. I think it must be gas. It hurts and thankfully goes away when I lay down. The weather has been awful this week and so maybe I haven't been walking enough. 1 Aline728 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
