Topic: RE: Gross Alert! 3 days after surg. no number 2..lol
I have been taking colace 2xs a day and while in the hospital they made me drink milk of magnesia and that did the trick.Once in the hospital and 2xs today and I am on an all liquid diet...Good luck to yah!
Topic: RE: Pre-Op Liquid Diet...omg I'm STARVING
I don't hate you; I was originally told I didn't have to do a liquid diet but the doc in the last two months changed his feelings on the issue because I guess there is new literature that says that liquid diets for at least 3 days pre-op reduce the risk of vomitting after surgery...
So that is my reason for doing the diet...reduce risk of vomitting with a sore stomach and incisions! :)

Topic: RE: all i wanna do is sleep - post op
I am 4 days post op today and I actually managed to stay awake today but I also only took one pain pill. I had a very hard time getting comfortable due to gas ans last night was the first decent nights sleep I had. (maybe that's why I stayed awake today)...I have a tempurpedic bed so it is very hard to change positions when your in pain!!! Anyways it has been getting a little better each day! good luck to you!!
Topic: RE: Pre-Op Liquid Diet...omg I'm STARVING
I'm lucky that I don't have to do a liquid diet. Please don't hate me =P
However - i have eaten very light today and plan on doing 4 shakes tomorrow and Monday, to make sure my system is cleared out =)
And I took a stool softener/laxative that will get most out anyways.
Also - I've been drinking lots of Crystal Light today, lol.

Topic: RE: 5 days post op
I don't feel hungry but my tummy is growling from a ton of gas!!! Although the food commercials do look good!
Topic: RE: Pre-Op Liquid Diet...omg I'm STARVING
I'm drinking instant breakfast with lactaid, broth, water...and had a berry smoothie today...I tried mixing some whey protein in to the broth but it curdled. :(
I was told I could have "full" liquids, not just clear, but I am not sure if that is really going to work since I'm now also constipated (tmi! sorry!)
What are you drinking???

I am starving too! I guess it is something that we have to do. After surgery I have heard that you don't get hungry like we do now. What are you drinking pre-op?
