Pre-op testing?

[CountryGirl5584 115]

Thanks guys. I'm still at the hospital. I was scheduled to stay one night but I'm staying 2. I had terrible nausea so I haven't been able to get my liquids in and haven't been walking much. The nausea is staring to go away so I'm hoping by the morning I'll be able to get in more fluids, but I'm already walking more. I don't have anyone here with me and I'm just bored out of of my mind.

Good luck and speedy recovery

@@AhnaLucille -I'm home and doing well. I came home Saturday morning and feel so much better since leaving the hospital. I still have gas and incision pain, but overall I'm doing well. I'm obviously not at my target Fluid intake, but I feel comfortable about what I've been able to get in. I get in a good amount of Water daily, and yesterday I got in some broth and Protein shake as well. My goal is a little more each day.

I still take my pain medicine about once per day (it's prescribed for every 4hrs as needed) but I feel like I need it less and less. The more I move around the better and more human I feel.

I attempted to sleep in my bed on my side last night which was an epic fail though. I'm a lifelong stomach sleeper so it's been a challenge since surgery. I don't have a recliner but I have a big comfy chair/ottoman combo that has been serving as my bed. I'm going to give it a few more days and try again! Hopefully by next weekend my bed will be more comfortable!

Overall, I feel pretty good all things considered!
