August Sleevers Check In

If you're having trouble stomaching the pre-op Protein Shakes, try blending the shake with ice in a blender. Fuller consistency and it is more like a smoothie. Plus, ice keeps you hydrated!

I am having such a hard time not cheating on my pre op diet I'm so ashamed

[marilynsasha 6]

I had the worst time trying to pee in a bedpan as soon as my surgery was over. I swear I tried for like 4-5hrs. As soon as they unplugged me so I could leave recovery and go up to a room I went into a bathroom and it was sweet relief.

Finally on liquids today. Onto the 3oz part of the 4x4. Should be leaving tmrw AM.

Pain is at a 2-3, 4 at the worst. I had nausea only once. I've been walking to try to get this gas bubbly feeling out. They have me orange Jello 3x it's the worst flavor ever, that made me feel queasy. I told my parents to bring me another flavor. And I keep falling asleep and they keep taking my broth and tea lol. I've been drinking mostly Water it's fine.

Incisions don't look too bad, one was more swollen than the rest but my surgeon said it's bc that's where they stitched into muscle.

So far so good.

Hope everyone else has a smooth surgery and recovery.

Well had surgery this morning. Doing good. Tired but that is expected.

Surgery went great this morning. Had some decent pain earlier and was using my PCA, but now it's tolerable without it. Only been nauseated twice today. First time was after the incentive spirometry and the second was when I sat at the side of the bed for the first time. Much better feeling tonight and boring to go home tomorrow :-)

Me 3. I actually cheated and had a piece of cheese. So I am even more ashamed. The sad part is that I can go all day without even thinking slot l about food but now that I restricted, I am having a hard time. Tomorrow is a new day and I'm sure I will be okay. The slip up helped me because I feel so bad that I don't want to slip up again. Good luck you guys!

[mskiesha29 91]
