Menelly 56 Posted June 11, 2015 Anyone else starting to get REALLY nervous? I'm suddenly all "what am I going to do when I don't have food to turn to?" It's being a hard day today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alindsey 230 Posted June 12, 2015 (edited) Surgery was a bit miserable the first day and night! I also had more pain than expected but after the first night it was sooooo much better and tolerable! I'm post op day 3 and have been shopping all day!!! You get better fast I feel great! I'm not hungry at all and I find my broth Jello and Popsicles easy to get down and i stay satisfied and hydrated! Walked over a mile today! No dehydration or headaches! I'm so happy Edited June 12, 2015 by alindsey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peteyrulz 82 Posted June 12, 2015 I know, right? I have been jumping insurance hoops & dealing with officious medical office personnel here in the US since March 2014. Finally throwing all caution to the wind and heading to TJ. I can't believe it's here in less than a week! We've got this!! ???????? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Walked over a mile today! No dehydration or headaches! I'm so happy Glad to hear you are healing well. I'm pretty sore but going to walk a little more today. Surgery went well but really sore now (1 1/2 days home) Trying to get the liquids in and start making shakes. Any tips for getting going? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DisneyDreaming 42 Posted June 12, 2015 June 16 is almost here. I still can't believe I'm doing this. It doesn't feel real. I am right there with you @@smiranda!

Surgery went well but really sore now (1 1/2 days home) Trying to get the liquids in and start making shakes. Any tips for getting going? Stay on top of your pain meds. I've been taking tordol every 8 hours. It's a miracle drug! I literally sip Water all day every couple mins I take a sip of Water or Jello or broth. I was a big water drinker before I've always drank about a gallon a day anyway. This is harder though the small sips are difficult because I want to chug! I've also taken a couple lortabs at night cause I find I'm more sore at night and I sleep better. These were left over from kidney stones. But I'm 4 days out now. Everyday get so so much better! Walk as much as you can I could only do like 5-10 min on day 1 and 2 I've worked my way up to about 30 min now. It's super slow but it's moving. I figure every calorie I burn and the more I use my muscles the better! Good luck Hun. The fist 2 days are for sure the worst! It gets better everyday!
