I had the regret in the beginning too but believe me you will start to feel better and the regrets will start to fade. I had a real rough time thought I would die from the pain but it does get better. Just rest and try to keep your pain meds in and a week from now you should start to not regret it so much. Good luck

Topic: RE: Help, I need advice!!!!!
Well I had my surgery on the 17th and then had an emergency surgery on the 18th. I still feel like **** and weak. I went to the ER last night due to neusea and dizziness, they gave me some fluids and some neusea meds and sent me home.... I don't feel any better. I am having a lot of trouble getting those nasty ass protein shakes down and trying to get as much water down as I can..... I really hope this is just a phase and goes by fast any advise please help.

72-80oz here. It is not easy. Everyday I sigh at the thought!
Earlier I used caf.free tea to help get it down. I also count what goes in the shake. I have to get at least 72 in before my evening meal because it i**** or miss after that if I will be able to get anything else in, though I shoot for 8more.

Topic: RE: PCP appt ???
I think my surgeon said the same thing (I was kinda "out of it") - it was right after he told me to stop taking my blood pressure meds, so I assumed it was so my PCP could adjust my high blood pressure treatment.

First of all take a deep breath.........OK, now no decaf, you can have caf. free. Celestial Seasons has a Fruit Sampler that is caf. free and is good for variety.
Something warm, and soothing, Swansan's Chicken Broth with roasted garlic. Like one of my recent post op friends said, "You don't feel like your missing anything. It tastes and feels like you had the noodles and carrots and all."
Stop picking up stuff and kids that you shouldn't. You will end up back in the hospital or worse! Then where will your kids and hubby be?
You don't feel normal, because your body is not getting it's proper nourishment, your hormones are dumping and you just had your guts re-arranged!
Don't worry about the gas, unless you start noticing you can't get things to go down or stay down, then call your surgon.
Look at my profile page, there is a link to my youtube. On my One Week Post Op video, at the end I post photos of my incisions. They are red and swollen and I was upset to find out that the staples won't come out for another week, they itch and bother me, and the larger one is the one I fear infection on. The RN said they all looked normal. It may help you to have someone elses to look at and compare.
It gets better! You can PM me any time you want to chat.
