Surgery march 5...today is discharge day (hopefully!) just had my dye test everything looks good. Drinking apple juice and changed into real clothes...feel like a rock star compared to 2 days ago! Still painful to get up and down and tightness when I walk but not much pain anymore. Waiting for drain to be pulled, so not looking forward to that from what many of you have said!

Whoo Hoooo!!!! congrats!!

Wow apple juice? I have to drink three Dasani bottle waters before I can be discharged! Uuugh!

I was given Jello and chicken broth which I somewhat have been able to tolerate. My drainage tube was removed this morning, no pain at all and was able to have a cat bath lol.

I'm so wanting to go home!!'

You will be floating out of there! I cannot wait to be home as well. I got no sleep while I was here at all.

My ugi came out great! Drinking the liquid for it was the worst thing, def it being the first thing you have tasted in 48 hours. But I'm starting to drink liquids now, thank God i feel like i could spit sand

Hi all, march 5th surgery day and have to say I'm miserable. I have so much pain I don't know what to do. I'm getting better at getting up and walking around but an hour before its time for my meds I'm in tears. I never thought of myself as a wuss but then again have never had surgery. They changed my meds from Diluted--im probably spelling that wrong to codine and its not working and where as good. Ugh!

Definitely praying for you to feel better soon chica:)

[Kathy Pitcher 102]

Weeelllll, you seasoned vets!!! You post op peeps... have you any suggestions for those of us who are still waiting on our days? Things we should bring to the hospital, any suggestions at all?!! LOL!! I'm so excited for you all! My surgery was approved today so I can hardly contain myself! I think I'll use my excitement to fuel a good workout.

And about those suggestions....

They aren't kidding when they say you get full so fast. Two tiny sips of Water and I'm full
