Bone Broth usually has more Protein in it.

When you are laying down and want to get up Togo for a walk, sit up first, sit for about 5 min then get up might help not to be so light headed.

Do they still have you on IV?

I am 4 days post op, so no IV. I'll have to find some bone broth. I am usually sitting already when I go to stand up.

My surgery was on the 25th. Vbg revision to roux en y. I just got out of the hospital today. 1 1/2 days without any type of liquid is tough. My swallow test showed no leaks so finally got to have liquids yesterday. I see what yall are saying now about not really wanting anything. Other than to wet my mouth I didn't want it. I also was hit with the gas pain...whoa! Wicked..but a gas-x strip did the trick. I'm feeling pretty good, and I haven't really needed the pain meds. It's still hard to get up and down, but getting easier as it goes. I also have to sit a minute or two before I stand to stave off the dizziness. First night back in my own bed will be interesting. Lol. I really got use to the adjustable bed in the hospital.

Open procedure is where they make about a 12 in incision as compared to a bunch of small incisions when it's done laproscopiclly.

Anybody have a sure fire way to get down the omeperzole?

[bigmoe99 33]

Not sure what that is but hot sauce makes everything better ????

[carelabra 36]

Lol...true dat bigmoe99. It's the prilocec that my surgeon prescribed...have to break open the capsule and there are little small balls of medicine inside...they don't dissolve so it makes them hard to get down. Constantly picking them little suckers out of my teeth..lol

I just had to drink boost diabetic for 2 weeks 5 a day. Dropped a lot of weight in 2 weeks my surgery is in two days, glad I didn't have to take that stuff but my energy stores are low and any movement gets me tired. Man I'd sure love a big juicy cheese burger lol

[carelabra 36]

Trust me, after surgery you won't want that cheeseburger! Hang in there..you're almost there. I'll be praying for quick recovery for u!

I just take some beads in my mouth and take a sip of liquid and repeat.

Or you could probably mix it in no sugar added apple sauce or yoghurt when you are allowed to have it.
