How are my fellow June 20th Post Ops?

I'm doing well, still having a little gas pain. I'm off my pain meds except for Tylenol. Went to Wal-Mart today and lasted about 20 minutes. Feeling good, getting tired of clear liquids...I'll be happy to move on to full liquids. Although I'm NOT hungry, today I had the first urges to eat something besides clear liquids. Looking forward to hearing from others who had their surgery on the 20th! Cindy

Hi Cindy, I had my surgery on June 20th as well, I feel great. I was surprise that I was back home 2 days later and off my medication and feeling hungry.

Im doing ok....I really dont have a lot of pain except every now and then a pain on my left side..They say that's normal...Im scared that I am not eating enough???????????? I only had like 6teaspoons of grits for breakfast,lunch some refired beans(WONT DO THAT AGAIN) and maybe drank only 8oz????has anyone had really a hard time knowing if your full or is that just still the gas pain??? I felt nauseated today once i woke up from my nap and blame it on the beans. I am sooo scared that i am going to be dehydrated because i am not eating or drinking enough plus only getting in about 15-20 grams of protein if that...is this normal for the first few days post op????? I NEED ADVICE! thanks

Hi Julie, We have different post-op regimens...I'll be on clear liquids for a week...no protein or vitamins, then full liquids for a week, start protein supplements and vitamins then pureed diet for 4 weeks. I haven't had any nausea at all and am not dehydrated because that is all I'm taking in...I've been getting around 50+ ounces of liquids a day. Cindy

HI, i had surgery on june 20th too. I can't believe how good i feel, i went to walmart the day i came home from the hospital, and did pretty good i was a little tired. I am glad you are doing good, my dr. already has me on pureed, and it's not so bad. Good luck! mandi
