Surgery tomorrow!?!

[myrizzy 41]

Yesterday the 28th was my day. Glad it's over. Have to agree about dry throat and mouth. They just gave me mini sponge to wet mouth. I got very sick yesterday so slept a lot but last night nausea passed and I was able to walk a little. Gas X strip help do much, it's been hard to pass anything. All is well. So excited to what's to come in life now. Oh yeah..of course belly is real sore. Nonetheless...no regrets. Best of luck to all

You must be so thirsty you poor thing

Im hoping by now you have had some Water let me know how that goes each time I sip I get some either pain or noise or both I'm starting to get stomach spasms and pain in shoulders now

But no vomiting or anything so that's good it hurts to breathe deep and bend over but other than that I'm all good

Let us know an update on how you are going.

Yeah, I had to do the swallow test twice. That stuff was so nasty!! I'm drinking a little medicine up with Water, some Jello and/or broth. I should take 15 min just on one medicine cup. I'm getting spasms as well. No vomiting! I dry heaved so bad last night. Glad it's passed. Off the IV now too.

Shell- yes they finally let me drink but same as you it was painful. They also gave me some chicken broth and sugar free Jello but it was grosssss! Yuck hospital food. I'm probably going to be discharged by 3 or so and it is 11:20. I'm still in bed getting my morphine- now I have a headache. But they won't let me leave until I pass gas and that didn't happen yet so I'm just a sitting duck unfortunately. And I'm exhausted cause my lovely roomie talked in her sleep. Ahhhhh I'll be ok! Still Super happy with the decision despite the pain and being exhausted. Keep me posted on you as well!

Im 4/11 also

Hey everyone! I know there was a bunch of us getting surgery tomorrow 3/28 so I figured I would post and see if we can all maybe keep this thread going. I know we will be bored in the hospital and in bed the next week or so. And it would be great to share experiences because we all know exactly what the others are going through at the exact time- unlike friends and family who try to help and support us but they just don't understand. Feel to shoot me a message as well! Good luck!

Pleased to hear you can have liquids.

I'm not allowed anything but Water till later today it's 6.00 in the morning here.

I was awake every hour or two through the night gas pain in my neck and shoulder the heat pack helped some.

Have had spasms in my stomach all night I think the full effects of the drugs in surgery are wearing off so it's pretty painful. I just got some more morphine and another one for nerve pain nausea meds and an injection to thin my blood. I'm in hospital till Thursday today its Wednesday here.

I can burp but I don't think I could do the other at all good luck with that. ???? maybe if you can't do it you can stay in and stayed dosed up I've been bringing liquid back up a little like regurgitation maybe not pleasant all I can taste is yucky pills. Let me know how it goes getting home and settled ok

How's everyone feeling? I'm doing pretty well no nausea or spasms (knock on wood). I just had a cup of broth with some unflavored Protein. Soon some more pain meds and more rest.

My surgery went quick. Haven't needed as much pain meds as I expected. Yesterday's ice chips,water, broth... everything made me feel like throw up. Doing better today, they finally took me off iv fluids. Did not enjoy getting drain removed, not one bit. Managed to shower. Still so tired

I'm glad you are both doing well the spasms are awful and constant

Surgeons been today and I need to drink 1.5 litres of Water today not sure how that's going to happen. The heat pad was great for gas pain in my neck and shoulder am tired was awake every 2 hours. Keep me updated ladies as to what's happening for you

I'm still having spasms but doc said in couple days it should pass. Hard getting in and out of bed but managing. Sipping on Protein and Water but can't tell when full yet. I'm going slow and listening to my belly. So glad it's over. Looking forward to full recovery.

I was just thinking the same thing

How do I know when I'm full I've just had yogurt in hospital and I can't tell when to stop I've had about 4 teaspoons so far so odd they gave me that when my NUT said shakes only until Monday then I can go onto purée liquid consistency. I'm going home today so that's good

My sleeve was on 3/28/16 . Im having a hard time getting anything down and keeping it there but each day gets a lil better. Unfortunately for me, my hospital stay will be a little more lengthy than others. Because of my mitral valve replacement im on blood thinners which caused me to be admitted on 3/25/16 to thicking my blood up before surgery. Now im waiting for it to thin back out before i can return home.
