Day Six and doing Great!!
Hi all,
where are my other Jan 27th friends...and the rest of you of course! I am six days post op. I have been home for two nights. I am taking tylenol (regular strenghth)maybe twice in a 24 hour period. I have 5 incision sites with 18 staples. I am so not into body piercings!
I sleep in my own bed without difficulty and I get in 2000ml of fluid in a 16 hour period. Jello/applejuice/broth Jello/applejuice/broth Jello/applejuice/broth Jello/applejuice/brothJello/applejuice/broth. I am going to dream about these! LOL..I am walking around well...I dislike the hiccups and burps..they hurt! I get some gas pains...after I drink...It takes me an hour to get thru my meals of 300ml
But i am so afraid to dump so slow I will go!
I am on this clear liquid diet until the 10th of Feb. I am losing a pound a day...
Last night I dreamt that I put some thing in my mouth that I should not have....I cannot remember what , I just know that I should not have and I was waiting to see what was going to happen to me.....THEN....I woke up!!!!
The suspence is killing me! I am teriffied of horror stories...I am terrified of dumping...LOL
I hope you all are healing up quickly and ready to take this ride with me...it sure will be lonely to go it alone! The real people in our world are supportive (well most of them!) but only you my web friends know what I am feeling, thinking, craving,avoiding, loving.....They say you need to walk a mile in someone elses shoes before you can understand...Well ladies and gentlemen(if they are any)...we have filled our shoes....lets start walking......Chat soon..Laura

Hey Laura,
I had my surgery on the 28th. Still some soreness and sleeping in the recliner. I did take a nap in the bed today. I'm lucky not to have staples, my surgeon used the glue stuff. I've been eating protein shakes 1/4 cup every 2 hours and in between with sf jello, sf popsicles, etc. and water, water, water. My surgeon said I could have strained soups, so I've strained water downed chicken noodle soup and that was a nice change. It's amazing how good sf popsicles are. I've had no nausea just some pain in my left side. Been up walking and relieving the gas. TMI LOL!!!!! Good luck. Hope things continue to go well for you.

You really are doing great! Congratulations!
I'm a little farther out than you - I had surgery on 1/20. Surgery went smoothly - 6 incisions with glue closure. I've been keeping everything down. Some ocassional nausea, but nothing bad. I start pureed foods on Tuesday (thank god) and have my post op visit on Tues. If all goes well, I start work on Wed. I'm nervous about that - mostly because of having to plan my food.
Keep up the good work and I'm happy for you. Keep us posted!
