5 day Post - Op. Wow what a Feeling!!!

Well, All is well and and recouping. I am exercising by walking and eating the things I am hungry for. Which is not much of anything. That is a good thing. I ate my first peanut butter and cracker for supper tonight. I was some what scared but it went down okay. I just nibbled and chewed and nibbled and chewed. Now ready for my water. Wondering how everyone else is that is about at my stage in the game. I need some encouragement I think mostly. I have been in the house without many people coming in and out like it has been the past few days and I miss folks. Oh yea is it completely unnormal to not have bowel movement as of yet? I am passing gas and hopefuly for once ready for a movemment. Sorry to bore those of you who are not having to worry with it. Well It is time for a shower now and some easy chair time. thanks for listening. Hear from someone soon. Dana

Dana: So glad to hear things are going well for you. From everything I have heard you may not have a bowel movement until about a week post op. Since you aren't eating much there really isn't anything to put out yet. The gas and burping are also normal. I am lucky I have my sister who had hers March 1st to kind of be my mentor in this. Take care Patty
