2 More Days!
Best wishes to you Pam. I will be thinking about you Wednesday.
TAKE LIP BALM!!! Your mouth & lips will be very dry and you will only be able to have the swabs which doesn't quench your thirst but will keep your mouth wet for the first day until you can start on water.
The other thing is to be sure to get up and walk. The gas in your stomach hurts and walking helps 100% to get it moving.
Its a lot to get your head around about what a life changing/saving surgery this is. Im one week post op and even though Im still getting used to drinking my food I just keep my eye focused on the end result. It will all be worth it, you'll see. You'll also be suprised at how "good" you feel. I thought I would be down and in wrenching pain. In fact its guite the oposite. Im not sure if you are having the open or the Laproscopic (I had Lap RNY). Maybe that helps.
I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
Kym
ps. enjoy the bowel prep. Ugh! No one prepares you for that!!!
