I came home from the hospital last night around 8:00pm. Thank goodness someone mentioned bringing a pillow. I took my meds and went to bed. Slept like a log! I didn't move until 6:30 am !

I feel like I was hit by a Mack truck! lol Overall, ,I guess I don't feel too badly considering I had major surgery just two days ago. I did great at the hospital. I wasn't in much pain at all while on the pump. I had something that was 7 times stronger than morphine. Since they took me off of that though, I have felt the pain in my stomach area. I drank lots and lots of sips yesterday. Overall, I think I had about 15 ounces in about 8 hours. It's hard because I was going by what my NUT said, and then the doctor said just listen to your pouch, and drink what you can. His goal for me over the next couple of days is 30 ounces Protein and 30 ounces liquid. Eventually, I will need 60 and 60.This is really going to be like a job.

Off to find some protein and get started. Hope everyone has a great day!

While on liquid diet did you experience muscle spasms?

Yes! I drank a lot of Water too. Because it is so low in sodium your electrolytes get out of whack. When mine happen a bullion cube in hot water helped. Good luck!

Just checking in and seeing how your doing. Hope you feel good!!! Remember' date=' morphine is your friend. Lol[/quote']

Yeah but still very tender.... they have been giving me IV tylenol and trying to get me off the morphine. .. but I am still to sore for that so then they had to give me a bolus. Also my bed was way too short which is odd because I'm only 5'3". So my back is killing me for trying to sleep with my legs Indian style

[msraza1982 24]

Did my 7 day liquid diet and at 8:30 am I will be heading into surgery. This whole journey so far hasnt been an easy one' date=' not as hard as I imagined tho. Im ready to step into my life. A healthy life, an active life. A life that feels like its my own. While Im as nervous as can be I'm also so excited for whats to come.[/quote']

Good luck today! It's not near as painful as I expected

Hated the bariatric bed...too short( I'm 5'10") and the inflation kept me up all night. They got me a regular bed for the second night. Hope everyone is feeling great this am!

I am one week away from surgery and I'm starting to get nervous. Right now I'm on my pre op diet and I'm starving :-(. Hoping tomorrow is better!

I am on my pre op as well, and feel your pain, I am starving to! Good Luck!

I joined the losers bench on Monday. Surgery went really well and I got home yesterday afternoon. I'm feeling decent except the gas. That is just horrible. So I'm trying to get rid of it the best I can.

I'm with both of you. These three weeks are going to be rough being on this pre-op diet. I'm so hungry! And watching master chef last night didn't help!

I'm now about 15 hours post op and doing well. I've been up and walked twice. First time just to nurses station (about 12 feet) then second time all the way to end of hall. I felt like I was going to vomit when I got to each "goal" point which is how I gaged when to stop and head back. Luckily no vomiting. Tomorrow I get to drink!!! Yay bc my throat feels like the Sahara. LOL.

I give all the honor and glory to God for my success today through surgery, starting recovery and having EXCELLENT doctors and nurses placed in my path!!
