yeah i am taking my vitamins between all that. its lovely. i dont even wanna have my protein shake today i cant even think of drink it. this morning i could barely keep down half a glass of my carnation instant breakfast ugh. so i had my mom pick me up some diet snapple so that i could atleast have something "real" as in in my previous life lol. i had chicken broth for lunch today and that was alright going down. im just sick of all this crappy "food" thank god i can eat again on the 20th. its only 9 more days thats all i keep thinking!!

My surgeon said bowel prep wasn't needed (I asked him) because they aren't working on the large intestine. He just said to eat light. I put myself on a self-imposed liquid diet for today and tomorrow. Also took a laxative/stool softener yesterday afternoon to make sure it's fairly empty.

I think it's because of the rearranging of small intestines (of C-section).

But I'm glad you are feeling better now! =)

Glad your surgery went smoothly.  Sounds like you seem to be at about the same spot I am.  Mine was only one day before you (rny).  As I approached the operating table I was saying in my head "you have 5 seconds to turn and run"; but I am glad I didn't.  Now for the recovery.  No major problems; just had some pain control issues that a change in medication helped, and I find myself feeling hungry about 10 pm.. Uping my protein shake in the afternoon just a bit and adding in fiber.  I will try eating dinner just a bit later too.  I am also into looking for the support; so stay in touch.

 i read this yesterday and was in the same boat as far as not having had one in 6 months.  guess who showed up today, the day before my surgery! UGH!  And yea they will go ahead with it, just be sure to give them the heads up!
