Dave In Houston 199 Posted June 4, 2021 29 minutes ago, Raffmom said: For those who have already had surgery, any suggestions for what to bring to the hospital? Things to get ready for the return home? I just brought clean underwear, a pair of gym shorts, and a T-shirt. I didn't even wear my shoes on the way home, because they put me in traction socks. Maybe it's different for a woman. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not as bad as I thought it would be. I'm on day 4 of my LRD now, have lost 6lbs WHAT?! I'm allowed milk, yogurt, fruit and vegetables on mine and it really isn't bad at all. 2 1 Morachia, BeaUTAHful and SunnyinSC reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AnnaTM 25 Posted June 9, 2021 Just had my surgery on the 7th and I am back home. Seem to be okay with sipping liquids but doing it very slowly. I didn't take any of my Vitamins but plan to try and take them tomorrow.

Which ones are you trying? I like the Premier Protein and fair life shakes ice cold. Is your stomach not tolerating it? 1 Morachia reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My postop diet has me taking Vitamins a month after surgery. However I’m going to do the Vitamin Patch right after surgery. Are you feeling ok and drinking Soups and shakes? 1 Morachia reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AnnaTM 25 Posted June 9, 2021 So far I am drinking Water and a Protein elecrolyte drink. I will try some broth with Protein Powder tomorrow. I am relieved that I am able to stay hydrated but need to push my protein levels up. Still needing my pain meds but hoping I can switch to Tylenol tomorrow. I ended up having a hernia repair so maybe that is part of the reason my pain still lingering.

SunnyinSC 137 Posted June 10, 2021 Just checking in. I'm at home now and doing pretty good. So far no real nausea. Drinking Water and Protein Drinks thus far. Had some cream of chicken Soup, yogurt, and pureed turkey while in the hospital. Pain isn't too bad. Heartburn is gone! Most the gas pain is gone, just have some pain from surgery itself. So far no hunger. Hope everyone else is doing well! 3 1 1 ClarkKent, spatty, Shrink&Grow and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
