Back to my AMOS Family

Hello All, I am back to my AMOS Family and I have missed you all....~hugs to all~ I am doing well and hoping it stays that way..... Learning how this new pouch works is wild.... I do have gas pains but today is really so much better... Thank you so much for ALL your support and words of kindness over these last 9 months.....luv ya all... Thank you to my Angels, Evelyn and Gia. But most of all my wonder DH, he has been so caring and supportive with me and I have been so cranky to him.... well pain can do that ya know.... well he understands and I love him.... I am sitting here a little sore but wanted to get back to my family....~Hugs~ I got into the shower today and it was GREAT.....and of course hubby had to bath me, which would have been kind of sexy but well you know.... I used the cling wrap around my drains and belly and I think Gia was the the one to tell me about that....THANKS so much because it worked great.....Not really wet at all but of course you still have to change the dressings after but at least it helps..... Well I am getting tired so I am going to go but wanted to say that I missed you ALL and thanks for the support......~hugs~ I am a big loser now....YEAH.... Take care, Debra P

Welcome to "the other side " It is great so see you back again. The pain will just go away one day and you will forget you even had surgery. Get up and walk and the gas will go away. You can go walk at Woodbury Commons and think about all the great things you will be able to buy soon. HUGS Eileen

Welcome back.. I am glad to see you are doing better. It takes time.. I am still only 3 weeks post op.. You are a big loser now and you will do it.. Just keep your head up and take it step by step and day by day.. Talk to you soon.. Congratulations once again.. Cathy

Hey Debra- Great to see you are feeling better,did you see the post today that says there is a new support group starting in Kingston? Are you close to that? I was wondering your DH said you were gonna try mashed potatoes last night-did you? I am wondering why surgeons all differ on this-Mine said for the first 2 weeks post op: Sugar Free-Teas,Jello,Icepops,H20 of course,clear broths and protein shakes.....well I am so excited tomorrow I get to go to the puree stage....will probably have eggw/chesse for breakfast(missed my eggs!) and heard alot about re-fried beans love them too, wondering if you have any other ideas for puree stage?

HI DEBRA!!!!!! (((((((hug)))))))) So glad to see you posting!!! I'm soooo glad things went so well for you. How are you feeling, other than sore??? I know you said you have some gas pains and the best thing for that is to move.....I had pains soooo bad and I walked and tooted and walked and tooted!!!! It still happens to me every once in a while and I get up and move and it helps. Make sure to get your rest sweetie and take care!!!! LOSER!!!!! Karry 311/183/167 goal

Hello my /angelette!! I am so glad you are back on the board!! Glad to hear that you are feeling better! I know that first shower can be heaven!! I would love to take the credit about the cling wrap, but I dont think that it was me that mentioned it.... sorry, dont wanna steal anyone's credit! I was going to call you but I know you're probably being swamped with calls, and also I have a stupid abcess from a root canal that was done last winter and my face is swollen all the way up to my eye... I look pretty scary and cant wait for the antibiotics to kick in, it hurts to talk, chew and drink:: but enough about me.... The gas pains are a *****!! to the gas, but I'm sure you've heard this a million times, but walking does help alot! It gets the bubbles in your body moving.... I'm so glad you are home and feeling good! If you need to talk you can call me anytime! I will try giving you a call during the weekend! Gia
