Frustr8 7,886 Posted April 15, 2019 Yeah you, Aprilgal, I figured by now the "brand-new" glow is settling into reality, day to day become your mode, and though you're still a little tender, life seems at a slightly off- balance level, things are starting to resolve?

Aprilgal 91 Posted April 15, 2019 (edited) Hmmm. Let's see. I am still sore. I have timers on my phone set to keep me on target liquids wise. I am trying to get in 5k steps a day but always find that I am fatigued after being active sometimes. To be honest, I didn't have any expectations pre-surgery- I do think things will be more clear about my new reality once I am no longer in pain. So, I think things are going okay. I did put on about 10 pounds worth of fluids due to iv while in the hospital, but I am happy to say I reached my pre-surgery weight yesterday. How are you doing?

Duffman 3 Posted April 21, 2019 Hi, new member. Surgery was April 16, UT Davis Clinic in Houston. Recovery is going well so far. Just been staying on the pre-surgery Protein Shakes so far. Had three today which is the most I’ve eaten since the surgery. Did have some cream of potato Soup (threw it in a blender we added some extra water) I feel like I’m drinking Water too quickly but 1 oz every 15 minutes was too slow. Drinking the shakes slowly though - trying for 20-30 minutes per shake, though I instinctively want to drink faster. 1 1 MorningLight and Frustr8 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MorningLight 11 Posted April 22, 2019 Tomorrow is the big day for me. I will be so glad when it is finally over. Mainly because I think one of the worst parts of waiting is having had all this time to think of all the things that could possibly go wrong, and wondering/worrying how the pain and nausea and such will be for me. I pray that all of you who are about to have your surgery that all will go well and a speedy recovery for you all. I pray that all those who just had the surgery will have a speedy recovery as well. 1 ItzBing reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
