Topic: RE: 13th??
I got home on the 15th. Everything was good until today when I started having this awful burning gas stabbing like sensation....10 hours now and no relief. Not sure whats going on with it.
Topic: RE: For all of us May 17th Surgeries
I came home Wednesday evening. I spent my time in the ICU due to multiple medical problems. I feel better than I think I should. Hardly using the pain medicine. Drinking lots of fluids, had a natural BM. I'm able to sleep in my bed.
I'm still taking quite a few medications but did get to come off of some. One of them being my insulin pump that I have been on for the last 9 years.
Good luck of your recoveries.

I am also having gastric bypass on May 24. I have the same feelings. I didnt like the liquid diet, but lost 17 pounds b/c of that. Drop in the bucket for the big picture. Good luck on Monday and look forward to your post surgery posts...

Wednesday can't get here soon enough. I don't understand how they can expect us to be on 600 liquid calories for a week! I am following it to a t, but I have to admit, I don't feel so hot. Question for you, do any of you have kids and if so, what did you tell them. I haven't said anything to mine yet but they ask why I'm not eating dinner (I am still coming to the table to preserve some normalcy). Right now, I just have said I'm not really hungry.

congrats on ur surgery coming so soon..i will be 2 weeks out exactly to ur day..i think the best advice i can give ya is pillows..lol..i never realized how important they become once u get home..i slept on my couch for about a week before i could touch my bed from not being able to pull myself up out of bed..and pillows defintely helped me sit comfortably and a easy way to hold my stomach when it hurt and a heating pad if and when ur back starts hurting..and when ur ribs hurt from air they put in ya..trust me those two things will help alot..good luck!
