My pain has been bad. I tried to lay on my side and I felt some burning sensation. I want to stick to the diet but I dont have much help or support here and it's hard.  I will try some protein now but I was told that lots of protein at first  makes you queasy.

I also had my surgery on the 17th.  I have felt hungry at all, although the dinners my family have been eating look really good.  Maybe when you start drinking the protein shakes you will curve some of the hunger. 

I'm having chest pain, I think it is from the anestesia and the free air.  I wish this feeling would hurry up and pass.

Hang in there and don't eat.  You don't want to cause problems that require more surgery.

Hi Deborah,

I'm sooo glad the surgery is over and i'm finally back at home.  How are things going for you?  I'll send you a friend invite if you want to keep in touch  and work through this together...

Had surgery on the 17th just got home today the 20th. Turns out I'm a bleeder & bleed inside & outside of the intestines.  I woke up the night of the 17th spitting up blood.  I don't post this because I want to freak anyone out I just want others to realize how very serious this surgery is.  Thankfully I have been able to avoid a blood transfusion but I was scared & in pain.  My Dr had me on morphine which didn't help, switched to demerol that worked but I only had it for 24 hrs.  after that it was liquid Loratab every 6 Hrs.  Now I will tell you I felt it the pain return every 4 hrs & insisted that if I had to walk they had to medicate me.  I'll stop whinning for now.
