dzelaya90 17 Posted October 25, 2017 My surgery is in about 9 hrs! I am so nauseous and light headed I am not sure if it’s that I am nervous or just hungry from being on liquids lol. I wasn’t not one bit nervous until today. I can’t sleep! Ahhh! But at the same time I am excited to begin this new journey . Anyone else having surgery 10/25? 1 sunshinetinks reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FarmerJo 9 Posted October 25, 2017 I'm the same! I'm 9 hours until my surgery. I'm feeling excited, scared, but mostly worried about the pain. I'm also getting my hiatus hernia repaired. I'm only in hospital for 1 night so the fridge is stocked with Soups, broths, yougurt etc. Ready to start the new chapter. Good luck with yours. 1 ljeffery20 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That’s exactly what I did... even though I had a lot of issues with the anesthesia I still sucked it up and got my butt walking as soon as I got out of recovery helped so much with the gas pain.

FarmerJo 9 Posted October 27, 2017 Well it's now over and done with. I was done at 9.30am on the 26th. All day I battled though the gas pain, which after many hours they controlled it down to a 4 out of 10. Couldn't keep my eyes open to walk until though the night and then I felt dizzy. Home day 2 on pain relief. Trying to get comfortable was hard but I got more sleep than the night before. I know that this next week will be the hardest but it will be all worth it. Keeping my mind on the goal ahead which is a healthier body that I can love. 2 sunshinetinks and Apple203 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FarmerJo 9 Posted October 27, 2017 (edited) Just had my first few teaspoons of custard. Went down smoothly and tasted good. Full after 4 tablespoons! My surgeon says eat anything liquid that you can get though a straw that is really runny, e.g. Custard, broth, runny yogurts, the higher in Protein like Dairy is the better.
