today

TOday is a much better day for me some of the pain has subsided and my mom sent over a recliner for me.... Hubby went yesterday to get me some patio furniture and a canopy swing... so I can sit outside still can't keep down the pain meds so I am going without. This will probably be TMI but I had my first bm today I was so excited because they had told me it could take a few weeks...... I feel like I am slowly but surely getting back to normal... I am still only eating about an ounce at a time I am going to start trying to have 2 ounces. heres to better days

Mindy, Glad you're feeling better today. Many of us were off of the pain meds completely within a week. Once we got that darn drainage tube out, life was wonderful! lol! Dont pu**** on the food. If you are still full and contented with 1 oz, don't be afraid not to pu**** for the 2nd oz. Look at it as in you need to get 1 oz in but CAN go up to 2 oz if you need to. Your body will tell you when it wants more. Aren't recliners wonderful post-op??? Sherri

I wouldn't pu**** for the two ounces. You will get there in your own time. I'm glad you're starting to feel better. Linda Vicory

well I tried o eat 2 z of oatmeal and i COULDN'T GET IT ALL DOWN i GOT 1 OZ AND 1/4 OZ DOWN AND i FELT LIKE i HAD A ROCK IN MY STOMACH WON'T E DOING THAT ANYMORE...... i MA GOING TO WAITA LITTLE WHILE BEFORE ATTEMPITING AGAIN BECAUSE i JUST DONT THINK MY TUMMY IS READY FOR IT

So glad you are feeling better today. Glad you were able to find a recliner. I'm sure that has made life much more comfortable for you. Sounds like your tummy is not ready for more than the ounce. When the pouch speaks, I guess ya listen! Peg
