What time does everyone get off of work? I guess we'll go by the latest time and then allow driving time.

I'll keep you in my thoughts tomorrow. I hope you're more excited than nervous. Hopefully you'll be as happy with yours as I am with mine. Keep us posted.

Mia- You sound great. Just don't overdo it. Take a few days and let everyone else take care of you. If the gas gets to bothering you chew on some gasx. No one told me about that at first and it does help. Good Luck!

I took a gas x and some pain meds in the car ride home and am repeating that every four hours or so- I'm walking around a good bit when I'm not resting. I'm going to try to have some broth in a few minutes and then get back to resting. I am doing great so far! I am so glad it's done and I'm on my way to recovering! Look forward to meeting everyone on the 7th!

So glad to hear you are doing good. Keep up the walking and stay ahead of any pain on the meds and you should be great. Take care.

Hey Mia!
I am so glad you are home and doing well. I'm sorry I didn't reply sooner but today was Kevin's day off and we have been gone all day long, but you were in my prayers and I'm so happy for you. Just keep resting and even if you start to feel really good, don't try to do to much, give your body time to heal. Please let us know how you feel tomorrow and I hope you rest good tonight!

How much water did you guys try to get in the first few days post op? I know i'm not getting enough-my stomach just always feels full right now. I am trying popsicles and sipping water but I just feel SO bloated and full. I'm trying to ease off of the hydrocodone and just take the tylenol for my soreness because the hydrocodone makes my face flush and be hot and beat red. At first I thought I had a fever but my temp was 97 so we called elizabeth and she said it was probably a reaction to the hydrocodone. I've taken it before in pills and never had that happen but she says the liquid gets into your system quicker. Pain is not TOO bad, just a little sore. I'm tired alot, but I've been resting. I just want to make sure Im getting enough water in. Can I have a protien shake or slim fast this week? Or do I need to wait on that for next week? I was thinking maybe an ensure might help me stay hydrated and with some added minerals. I'm taking my vitamin everyday. I just want to be sure to get in enough water.

Mia - If I remember correctly didn't Dr. B say clear liquids for the 5-7 days? I tried to stay right on plan even though it wasn't fun the first week. Have you tried a little broth. Sometimes the warmth of the broth helps when you're a little tight. I'm sure I didn't get as much liquids as they told me to, but do your best. Just keep sipping. Once you're past the clear liquids it'll be much easier.
When you start the protein drinks, watch the ensure. I know they're listed on Dr. B's list but they are a lot higher in calories and carbs than some of the others. I had purchased some before the surgery, so I drank them. A good alternative is the low carb slim fast or some of the powder protein drinks. Just read the labels.
Remember, this stage will past before you know it.
