Theres a thunderstorm in my bed-wait that's my tummy!

I woke up because I thought I heard thunder, but it was my tummy grumbling and rumbling..   Actually I have decided this is a good noise, because that means things are "moving" and shaking instead of sitting still and making me sick to my stomach.

Wasn't able to "eat" anything yesterday.  At about midnight I tried 1 oz of grape juice mixed with 1 oz of water and VOILA!  Apparently the little bit of sugar in that gave me the boost I needed - it ended the nausea and got things moving and dispersing. 

Did anyone else have a problem going from liquids to "full" liquids?  I wouldn' have thought it was that big of a jump. . Wondering if I should try again today or give myself one more day of liquids.  I shall call Dr. Benn's office and report back to you later.

I got about 55 ounces of water in yesterday.. pretty good!!!  Well I think I will head back to bed. 

Before I do I have to share one more thing - the whole time while in the hospital I kept hearing Rick's words of wisdom ... "never trust a fart"  and you know what.. Damn if he wasn't right.  Thanks so much for that Rick!!!!  LOL

"Never Trust a Fart"......I have not forgotten that quote as well! Has that become every WLS patient's mantra???

Glad that things are moving along, so to speak!

It's one of those things "they" don't tell us about pre-op.  It's a talent that emerges (so to speak) once you have WLS.  Eventually, you will be able to tell the difference between a true "fart", and the much-feared "shart".   You know what they say.... liquid in, liquid out.

Until that day, it's better to be safe than sorry!
