Sunday

I am so sorry to hear about Gail doing so poorly. It makes me frightened, truthfully. I will keep her in my prayers. I saw her at the hospital, when I was up there for my surgery. She seemed in good spirits then. I can't imagine why they haven't had her see a would specialist before now. I have been home since Friday now. Yesterday was horrible. My bowels started working again, and I was so FULL of gas. It was really quite painful. Today started out better, got down some sugar-free chocolate milk and some yogurt. I am finding it hard to get in all the liquids and meals and supplements in a 24 hour day! Did anyone else have trouble with that? I'm just doing the best I can. Linda Vicory

Linda, Congrats on becoming a loser! Both the gas and the not feeling like you can get everything is normal! Walking will help release the gas! Just keep working at sipping, sipping, sipping and do the best that you can, no one can really get it all in, in the beginning, but they want you to get the most that you possibly can, it does get easier to accomplish as the time goes by. Just be patient! It will work! Just spoke with Gail, SHE IS THINKING ABOUT GOING BACK TO THE HOSPITAL, I WILL POST AGAIN ASI FIND OUT MORE! Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers! Hugz Dawn

oh boy...both ed and i needed stool softners i bet i had them daily for 6 months......ed certainly is much gassier than i am as well.....another gal i know is always gassed up... it is so hard at first but it will get better

Linda, I just wondered what brand or where do u get your sugar free Chocolate milk. Ive found fat free but not sugar free here. I would love to know what it is so I can have my local store order it. Thanks Mariah

I used sugar free Nesquik added to regular milk. It tastes pretty decent. I am really discovering what people mean about your tastes changing. Things just don't taste very good to me for the most part. Linda
