Holy smokes!

Good morning! I am feeling a LOT less gassy and feel liike I can sit and type some now, lol OMGOODNESS...the gas was/is horrid lolololol. My kids are all laughing and thinking I can bottle it we could get rich, lol I am feeling good. Sipping and getting some liquid proteins in. I am sore but more from the gas than the actual surgery. I have a cough that is driving me nuts. I am not sure if it was from the tube and being under or if one of my seven passed their cough to me, lol I have had a low grade fever...but they say it is to be expected...it is off and on. IM ay call today if it keeps coming on. I am so STOKED I did this. I still keep saying "wow I am done, I really did it" My first follow up is on the 3rd with my Surgeon! Woo hoo! (((HUGS))) to you all!

YAY CHELLE!!!!!! I am so glad you are on the other side and that you're feeling better today! I thought about you all day yesterday and was hoping you weren't in too much pain. I had my class in Ithaca Wed eve so came up early to pop in on you and you had already left for home! That was amazing! I wish you all kinds of success, My Friend!

Hee hee, yeah they sprung me...after about 20 laps around the long way...they said they were going to start charging me, lol I felt that good. My upper GI went well and once I could sip liquids they said I was ready! Was awesome!

So glad that you are doing well! (((((HUGS))))) NoraLynn

Noralynn thanks sweet one! I am feeling oretty good! I am excited that I am finally here! You are not far behind love!

Hi Chelle ... I remember my gassy pain ... UGH! :"( ... that is something I do not want to go through again ! I remember I posted about my gas pain agony and I got a lot of responses and I got a note of support from you (thanks for that again by the way). My surgery was on a Tuesday and I didnt feel the gas pain until about Friday night until Monday morning. Thank goodness I was able to reach my doctor that Monday who suggested taking gas x before I eat or drink anything. Also, he advised me to walk around a lot. I'm sorry you had to go thru that pain too. HUGS HUGS HUGS !!!!! I had to take my vicodin to help me with the pain and I did feel pain free. I used to call those moments my "PSYCHEDELIC LOVE POWER GENERATION MOMENT LOL !!!! I know coughing is a killer. SNEEZING is soooo much more pain. When I came home on Wednesday night ... I woke up Tuesday morning because I sneezed ... and then I yelped !!! THAT REALLY HURT .... no one told me that if I coughed or sneezed to hold on to my tummy. Well ... now I now. I'm 3 weeks post op but I still have to deal with holding my tummy whenever I get an itchy nose or itcy throat. Good luck on your visit to your doctor. I wish you all the best and A VERY VERY SPEEEEDY RECOVERY. ((hugs)) ~ Francesca

I am so glad you are doing well. I hope my surgery and recovery go as well as yours!! Keep up the good work!! ~~Betsy

It's over! Isn't that something???? Continue to get better and BETTERER. Take Care~~

YIPPEE!! Ya did do it!!! I hope no one lights a match! RUN KIDS, RUN! How is the sipping going? I'm stocking up to make sure I don't have to leave the house for a week after surgery...lol I'm going to be more prepared for this than I was for Y 2 K or the most the snowstorm that dropped 18" on us last Monday! Ya know, I still have ppl tell me I don't need to do this, or I shouldn't. They obviously know nothing about me or this disease! I'm doing it dag nabbit! WOW...your appt is on the 3rd? Gosh, I didn't think they'd see me until my fill 6 weeks later! I just heard that antioxodents are found in rum, vodka and tequila! YIKES! I've asked that we all get matching jerseys on the losers bench!

Well at least you have something to threaten the kids with now---toxic fumes. LOL. I can't wait for the gas I get to get my boyfriend back for all the gross things that he does! Congrats! Nicole
