How are yall feeling Todday? Did everything go smoothly and as planned

[Ritcheycop 37]

I am so sore and tired they kept me an extra night because of nausea. Hope tomorrow I feel better I am walking about every hour thanks to my husband! It helps a lot release the gas and make sure I don't get blood clots!

Glad they are keeping you another night. That way they can make sure your doing good..I'm here till Monday.temp just came back at 99.2 so ihope nothing is going on with that. They wanted me walking 100 ft. 3 times a day and I walked 1000 feet each time . 4 times today. So far no release of gas .not sure why but this page keeps crashing on my phone.I had to copy and paste this 5 times just to post.good luck with everything. Hoping for a speedy recovery

Well I am feeling better today not as sore as yesterday and the nausea is gone ???? just still super tired but think that's the meds will be glad to go home!!! Which will be sometime today!!! I have six spots on my belly how many do you all have?

[Fiesty redhead 3]

Dr came in and said xrays looked great and I got my first tray of food ( nothing edible except the hot tea) but they will be taking me off of the iv fluids and pain meds today and I will be released tomorrow

[Ritcheycop 37]

That's good to hear! I had to eat the Protein on my tray it wasn't too bad I chased it with Water or tea! Then had 3 spoonfuls of broth and my tea and I was full!! Honestly I really want hungry to begin with! Just have had the worst cotton mouth from all the meds I have been on! I'm glad your doing so well! I am waiting on doctor here too I should be going home today yay! I just showered iv is out and I have my own clothes on!

[Fiesty redhead 3]

I was able to put on my own clothes yesterday but today has been amazing because Iv is completely out and I was able to shower .that was a lovely moment. Now I can run around with nothing attatched. The worst thing about this whole this is this horribly juicy cough .it hurts so dang bad to try to cough

[Ritcheycop 37]

Oh yeah I agree!!! The gas is starting to break up today

[Ritcheycop 37]

Ok guys on night 3 soreness is starting to break reality has set in and now can't wit to see results!! How is everyone doing with the post op diet? I found muscle milk is great! It taste awesome too! chocolate that you mix yourself has a nutty flavor the banana is my all time favorite! It's light and just delish strawberry and cream is pretty good too! I am literally having to drink all day though to get in my 70-100g of Protein and 64oz of fluids. Had to take gas x today the gas was rumbling horrible my chest was hurting so bad because of it! Wondering too how well these six spots are going to heal up.... Still on pain meds to be safe hope to come off those by Wednesday though???? have to say I am doing pretty good! Hope all of you all are too!

This cough is still going to be the death of me. Coughing up some dark nasty stuff when it does come up but super painful and causes cramping after the fact. Pain is so so but most are just the crampy type pains that I'm getting after coughing. As far as the diet I'm still on full liquids (no Protein Shakes until Thursday. Before the surgery my fav. PProtein shake was Premier Protein ,boost and then the muscle milk. But I only like them room temperature,otherwise I think when they are cold it brings out a lot more of the Protein taste. If you have never tried premier ,do a searchonline and they will send you one for free also comes with a coupon. 30 grams of protein,5 carbs and I think it was 160 calories

How are you doing now? You have a few days more experience than we do. Would love to hear any tips and tricks and how your doing with pain management and weightloss ?
