4 day since surgery

i had my surgery on 3-12-08 going fairly well, very little pain, stomach still swollen. Having a hard time getting in a the water, but will take a few suggestions of carrying water around with me all day. I have alot of gurling in my stomach I assume that is from the gas, and healing of the new stomach. No pain just gurling . Unable to sleep very good in the bed, so I find myself sleeping in a chair. So very excited about my new life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

congrats on your surgery. mine was on the 12TH as well. as you said their is very little pain. and i have the gurling and rumbling also. the water and protein is hard for me to get in also. i just want to GULP instead of sip. i guess that is what makes it so hard. if you hear of any suggestions please forward them on. This is a very exciting journey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
