Thanks so much for all the well wishes,  I got home on Thursday afternoon.  Was great till later in the day when I got a ton of bad gas pains and couldnt "toot".  Finally later that night I was able to pass some of it.  This morning I felt really good, so I went to Walmart with the family...it got all that gas moving in a big way, mega cramos, i thought i was going to die.  I got home, dry heaved... from the pain and man did that hurt...talked myself thru it, lol, and sat on the toilet.  I had terrible diarrhea and felt so much better.  My god I have never had such gas pains... is this all normal?  Other than the gas I feel good.  I am not at all hungry and am trying to drink 4 oz every hour.  I have no problem holding anything down... water and broth that is... I am super tired...you were right michelle.  It was great to meet you all monday...and Jason my sister knows you...what a small world, huh?  Thanks again for all the prayers.

Kristy, Welcome home!!! I am so glad you're doing well!!! Everything you are going through is absolutely normal!! I don't remember the gas pains so much but I know there was some discomfort!! The diarrhea is normal... remember you haven't had anything solid in days so liquid in, liquid out!!! Try really hard to get those 4oz in every hour - the last thing you want is to get dehydrated!!! Other than that try to rest as much as possible!!!! Keep up the great work!! Cece

Yes...very normal things...especially if you had your surgery "lapro".  I was afraid to leave the house (actually, the bathroom****il I started on more solid foods.  Great to have you on the "other side"...take it easy, walk when you can and sip, sip, sip! Rosemary

Hi Kristy, welcome home!  I cannot believe you went to walmart--I could barely make it around the block!  Good for you, but don't overdue it.    The gas is normal; you can take gas-x.    REST, REST, REST, and sip, sip, sip.  I'm so happy for you! love,

Glad to hear everything went well.  Keep moving and that gas will all break up.
