Good Luck on your surgery tomorrow. I am new

Here as of

Today. I have to start a two week liquid diet. I imagine all of us have

To do this? Or are there anyone who has a different plan. Just curious.

My plan is different. I have to do it only for the day prior to my surgery.

I too have a two week liquid diet prior to surgery so your not alone???? My doctor told me yesterday 7-10 days. And 2 weeks after also. How new into this are you Sinnombre723? I'm half way through. I'm planning for an April sleeve

I am very new. I just got my surgery date which is January 19th. I start preparing tomorrow.

Good Luck to you Sinnombre723!! Sooooo exciting!!!

My surgery went well yesterday. I had no complication. My surgeon did the leak test while I was still in the OR so when I made it to my room. My urination was green. Kind of weird it started returning back to yellow in time. I got up and walked around a lap around the floor twice yesterday. I tolerated small sips of Water, Propel, chicken broth very well. My pain was manage with liquid Lortab every 4hrs. The surgeon saw me this morning told me I was doing exceptionally well and I could go home. So he gave me a bolus to give me a head start on hydration and I made it back home today. I must say surgery wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. ????

My surgery was delayed from 12:30 to 5:30, didn't get into my room until 10:30 pm on Tuesday. Spent all of Wednesday sleeping. Dr kept me a second day because of this and the hernia repair. Not hungry at all so getting broth down is a challenge. Can't wait to be home.

@@cindyw41 - Push a pillow to your tummy when standing up. Many hernia repair people swear that helps. (learned about it here).

@@PageRN - Congrats, very glad to hear it went well.

What a great post. I wish you well and focus on the big goal of health and energy while you go through the process. My surgery is scheduled for next Thursday, midway through my two week low carb, high Protein diet. I'm determined and I know my adherence to this stage is indicative of that determination. The house never looked so cleaned and organized!

How are you feeling today? Any changes? What kind of hernia did you have? Were you aware? Did he tell you it would be being fixed at this time? I too have a hiatal hernia. Haven't talked to my doctor yet about needing it fixed.

I hope your day has gotten better and your tummy isn't so so tender. It's going to take some time. I think the pillow against you is a great idea! Try it! I have a feeling it's kinda like a CSection! Get well soon!!

I had a hiatal hernia repair, I new it would be a possibility. He made the final decision once inside. I'm feeling better today, one of my incisions it hurting but I haven't taken much pain medicine. I slept with an extra pillow for support and it helped a lot. Thank you!

So glad your finding something to help you feel a little better today. Hopefully each day gets a little easier. Have you been able to wak around yet? I'm very surprised about the pain meds. That's great tho. I've been thinking about you

I haven't walked much except for around the house. Can't drive anywhere yet and it's cold and rainy out. Clearly not thinking well with all the typos though lol

Wow I didn't even think you were home yet. Good for you! No worries about the typos believe me. I don't even notice them truthfully. It's been pretty gross here too. Good excuse to stay inside for a while and heal up and get stronger
