Surgery over and home

Hi everyone I got home Friday and Have slep alot but I'm tring to get the 64oz down I ve done the broth water jello, I am learning about the small sips I can really tell when I take in to much liquid
It fills like I ate to much. and its hurst for a few seconds. The night in the hospital I was up about every 2 hours and walked. Dr Walton found out I had a hialtal hernia and fixed it while  he was in there and I was very pleased with that I didn't even know I had that.  I have had some headaches but I just take the tylenol and that helps the Lortab liquid is nasty so I had my pharmacy to add some flavor in it cherry and thats better. But i Hadn't  take much of it I usuall don't take meds.
I did walk about a 1 1/2 miles yeasterday  My oldest brother walked with me  he didnt know until friday That ihad done the surgery. Yes I'm still sore but really it isn't as bad as I thought it would be. My left side hurts the most . The worst part I got on the scales and I gained 5 lbs from my surgery. My Brother says it poop.HA HA  I  think  the hospital and all the staff are the best And when I have plastic  surgery Im  going back their They have   a dr  that does it their. YEA!!!! 

Sorry for the long post . Thank you for all your prayers.

Welcome home and glad the surgery went so well.  Yeah, Dr. Walton and the whole hospital staff is THE best.  Good idea about the cherry flavor -- I didn't know that you could request that.  Learn something new every day.  One thing -- STAY OFF THE SCALE!!!  You have gained the weight due to the air they pump into your abdomen, and just general swelling.  Liquid for the first week is hard, just take it slow.  The bloated feeling goes away in less than a week.  Take care, Michael

Your weight will be up for a week to 10 days due to the IV fluids they pushed in.  Don't fret!  You will lose weight.

Keep walking and sipping!  Make sure you follow all of Dr. Walton's instructions for the food plan and you will do great.

Welcome to the bench!

sounds like you are doing amazing!  And 1 1/2 mile walks!  Wow !  I'm totally impressed!  Thats just a couple of days after surgery!  You are doing really well! 
Thanks for your very inspirational post!!!

I had surgery Wednesday and went home on Thursday. Pretty much have webt through the same thing as you. Just think, it's all down hill from here!! GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!

Good luck-stay off the dang scale.  You are full of fluids and liquids from the IV's-just don't go there.....

Welcome to Oklahoma OH and weight wise. I am glad that your surgery went smoothly and I  hope that you have a speedy recovery. Does that cherry flavoring have sugar added to it. If you haven't allready, please make sure that it doesn't. I agree the Lortab taste awful, but it is better than nothing.

Hey Crickett I'm Lisa,

Lisa, Sounds like a plan. Best of luck and congratulations.

Thanks for all the support. I'm still having a little trouble getting the 64 oz in im not hungry thank goodness but i've drank chicken broth and had some jello and water but it's not 64 oz in yet im still trying and should I drink the protein shake or wait until im hungry.  I like to walk so we walked again this afternoon. i'm not sure if the is sugar in the flavoring but I've only had about 4 doses of the lortab it really burned when i took it the 1st  couple of times.  
Has anyone had headaches i don't drink caffine so I no that not it.  So i've taking liquid tylenolit's helped.  I just want to do everthing right. Its been a up and down battle with my weight  and now I know this is just going to be the down and hopeful never up again. Thanks for everthing you all are the BEST!!!!!
