Just got home yesturday, someone plezzzze help
I might as well get a pillow and strap myself to the toilet! Someone plezzze advise!! I tried Immodium, less H2O, sipping protein more slowly. No releif. My husband is going to get me some Lactaid.
I am using the Carnation Instant Breakfast. I am afraid to put anything in my mouth right now.
I also have Serious issue with meds. Dietitian said I would be able to crush meds and put in applesause. Well that isn't happening. The Hospital said "NO". Before leaving the hosp attempted to give me some of my regular meds "crushed" and mixed in "Jello". I take A LOT of meds. That was NOT going to happen. Well last night and this morning I cut them up a million times!!! One of my meds actually turned out to be 8 pieces. I just slowly took them over several hours. When I can have applesauce I think it will be better.
So my abdomin is "sore:, "bruised". I have pain pills but can't tell if I'm in pain or just uncomfortable. Also when not in bathroom I have gas worst that a man, if that's possible. ANYTHING ELSE ANYONE CAN TELL ME!! ESP FOR "RIGHT" NOW!!!
FYI : the two answers that are good for almost any question: 1. call your surgeon and 2. drink more water. Both apply to your dilemma. smart for getting the lactaid milk, hopefully that helps.
Hopefully you have talked to your surgeon already, but if not, at the very least, keep sipping the water (try it at different temps, sometimes pouches get particular).
Walk as much as you can to work out the gas. any movement will help - knee bends, swinging your arms, whatever!
