3 DAYS TO GO!!!!!

Hi everyone, I have 3 days to go till I'm on the LOSING SIDE!! Getting kinda nervous, does anyone have any advice for surviving the first few days after surgery?? Any advice will be greatly appreciated, have a WONDERFUL day!! --Terri

Terri, Hun I know how you feel and I was worried about getting through that time but ya know you just do. You can also think about this thing is behind you now and it is time to get on with learning about your new life, the excitement and trials...... Hang in there hun and you will be past that time before you know it. Also please know that your emotions are going to going crazy and that is normal.....Knowing that was a big help because I was just tired, cranky and upset that I did that to myself, but that will pass and you will remember why you are there....~hugs~ I will keep you in my prayers and thoughts.....May you have a uneventful surgery and a speedy recovery....~Hugs~ Debra P

Terri- Wow a few more days and you will be on the losing side. My biggest advice for those first few days.... sip plenty of liquids, and REST!!! Don't stress over protein (you wont be able to get the 60-90 reccommended grams at first anyways), slowly sip liquids, and peppermint herbal tea was my savior! Rest, but also walk around (to prevent blood clots). PLease email me if you have any questions! Janet
