Anyone else have a surgery date of November 13?

[M!@ 320]

Good Morning All,

My surgery on the 13th went well. And today is 4 days post. Wouldn't you figure I would be trying to go back to work today. Well, honestly I feel okay physically. I do get the urge to vomit every now and again but I am working on that. Apple juice helps...working on getting the rest of the post op diet to work, since apple juice is the only thing seems to want to stay down. Going to try a Protein shake for Breakfast to see if we can get some stability.

So glad to see you guys posting again! ???? I have been drinking seems like all day on shakes so I took a stop an drank some broth yum it was so good I made it from bullion beef it was super good! Mia I hope you get to feeling better with the nausea I know how you feel I was the same way at first! That's why they kept me an extra night! They didn't give you anything for it?

Feisty, I was told to stay away from acidic flavored, orange and lime. I did really well at work, had a nap when I got home though. I managed to down most of a vanilla Protein Shake and sip apple juice and crystal light all day. Regarding Vitamins, my doctor says give it a few days, focus on finishing the antibiotic first, then add it vitamins. Which I will begin tomorrow or the next day. The antibiotic is horrible by the way : ). Anybody weigh in to see if they are losing the Water from op.

Ritchey, I am glad you are feeling better as well. The nausea was better yesterday afternoon. I have been sleeping with a heating pad which has been helping with something-couldn't tell you whether it is the gas, or nausea or ...but it helps. I actually went grocery shopping yesterday and found the ice pops they told me I should keep on hand. This is awesome because they usually only have them in the summer. Can anyone else believe they had surgery 5 days ago? I mean, the pain is minimal, I am up moving around quite well. I mean aside from getting nauseous spontaneously or being on edge when you have to pass gas and there is not a restroom near, I feel pretty freaking great.

Mia,so far I'm down a little over 5 lbs since surgery but still on full liquid diet. I just can't seem to drink enough so hopefully tomorrow the Dr will release me to add other things because I'm so freaking tired. It seems like I have a cup upto my mouth 1/2 the day and mucho stays full. Lol I don't even understand it. I'm probably taking in maybe 16 oz a day . I wishi could just hook up to if fluids here at the house and not have to worryabout it. I went grocery shopping last night and found 3 different sugar free popsicles that look tasty just haven't felt up to trying one yet. They did have a Sugar Free Chocolate onNext »
