Re: Can you Post Ops answer a question for me??

[Guest guest]

After the MOM I ate only soup and crackers and a little salad. It

nearly killed me, but Dr R says it makes it easier on you during and

immediately following surgery as far as nausea is concerned. It must

have worked. I had absolutely no nausea. Well at least not until my

hormones got out of whack about 3 weeks later! lol A hormone patch

took care of that though.

Lots of people eat a " last supper " the night before surgery,but it

isn't advised by DR R.

Terri,

Just my two cents worth. Between the MOM - don't stray too far away

from a bathroom - and my day before nerves, my stomach didn't really

want to have a last minute splurge. The lighter you eat the easier

the bowel will be for him to work on the next day.

Hi Dinah...

I think my " last supper " is going to be about 2 weeks before surgery (unless

I can think of anything else I REALLY want)... I have been CRAVING a philly

cheese steak and fried mushrooms with cheese over them for WELL over a year

now.. But, driving over an hour just to go to the place that has the best

ones is not a very easy task and every time I decided I wanted it, we didn't

have gas money or something would pop up and we just didn't get to go.. So,

On wednesday I will be doing the grocery shopping and will pick up the stuff

to make it with!! So, I definately won't have to worry about that aspect of

it... As I was telling another person who wrote me, the main thing I am

worried about now is HOW BAD the MoM is... I mean, I had a colonoscopy done

a few months ago and took that dang Fleet phosphosoda twice and I was

absolutely MISERABLE!! I would have rather had the flu! It was so bad that

when we moved, I left the glasses that I drank that stuff out of at the old

place.. Everytime I even THINK about that stuff let alone look at those

glasses, I literally start gagging... PLEASE tell me this stuff isn't that

bad!!!! I have a very sensative stomach anyways and if my tongue/nose don't

like it, it don't either!! Go figure.. I'm more worried about the pre-op

PREP than the surgery itself! LOL

In my thoughts and prayers,

Terri

PRE-OP!
