@@Swamprat You're lucky if you get ice chips!

@@tlyons72 I enjoyed the versed and I liked the propofol used for my endoscopy. That was the best sleep of my life! So you're not alone on that.

I'm on day 3 post op and got in 69 grams of Protein and 81 oz of fluids today. They're going down easy. I'll keep sipping Water until I fall asleep. Kind of amazed that I'm not having any issues with fluids. Must be one of the lucky ones.

Are you getting the majority of your protein from shakes? I'm having trouble taking in all my protein. It's like I have an aversion to protein

@@aree1020 shakes yesterday and this morning. Tonight I put unflavored GENEPRO Protein in chicken broth. I'm assuming protein will be just shakes and broth for the next 7 days until I hit purees.

I was doing so research and I read that biotene mouth spray really helps after surgery with dry mouth, since you will not be able to have anything right away.

I had my surgery July 6th! You'll be great, guys. The bowel prep wasn't nearly as bad as I had anticipated. The stuff wasn't exactly gross, but it was very strong. I had it through a thick straw over ice and took 30 minutes to drink 15 oz of it. I was able to play video games between toilet visits. The next morning I woke up, brushed my teeth carefully (so I didn't swallow any), and wore an optimistic t-shirt to the hospital. They took me back at 11:11, and I had to wait until after 3 to roll out to surgery. This is when I was the most scared. But then they gave me "margarita mix" happy drugs to help me relax, then the anesthesia hit and I woke up in recovery in under 2 hours. I slept a lot right after, but they had me get up and walk twice that evening. I spent 2 nights in the hospital, walking every hour and sipping fluids after I passed an upper GI to make sure I had no leaks. I wish you all the best!

Note: I gained about 5 pounds from all the fluids they pumped into me. Don't weigh yourself when you get home unless you can handle seeing a gain. It's just because you're super hydrated!

P.S. Yes, I posted this in both July threads.
