Now that the gas has passed.....

I am feeling much better!! LOL

Had my surgery Tuesday, spent quite a while in recovery due to pain and nausea...finally made it to my room at around 7:30. Had a good first night. But by the 2nd night the gas build up had started and nothing was passing nor did I have the urge to. I walked and sipped and walked and sipped for two day....to the point my nurse told me stop as I was going to pu**** too far. They figure it was because I had the bypass and gallbladder done at the same time. 

This morning things finally started moving!! YAHOOOO!!!!! I feel so much better. 

Now to get this eating and drinking under wraps. Lol...it's hard to eat when you have no appetite to, but I keep plucking away at it very few hours and keep sipping my water throughout the day. 

Its been quite the experience, but I have no regrets!! 

Whooo hooooo!

You finally did it!  I hope that you are feeling much better now. 

Keep working away at the eating and sipping, the first little while it feels like a full time job.  You're on your way.

Thanks Cindy LOL!! Yes I did it.

yes it

does feel like a lot, I'm still bloated from earlier, think I ate/did too much lol

I'm scared I'll get dehydrated or something lol

WtTG Kimber I'm glad things are moving along and you are bench side.  I go in a week today and its starting to hit me that life as I knew it is going to change. I see all the progress everyone has and you will get there too.  Good luck and a speedy recovery to you

Thank you and good luck next week!! With the little things I've gone through I still have no regrets!! 

Will be thinking of you!

Had my surgery on Monday... and when things start moving everything seems to feel better. Every day gets a lot better too. Cheers to a speedy recovery. Keep the high protein foods going in even if you don`t feel hungry.   It will help a lot with the healing inside. Take care, Tara

I hope your feeling good!! Thank you for the reply...we're on our way!!!

congrats!!

Thank you so much everyone!! 

Yes it's amazing how much better you feel once things start moving. Today I have had

Breakfast 1/2 serving (15ml) of protein shake, sips of water (felt bloated. So I did the apple sauce with senokot as the nurse told Me when I met with her back in December that a lot of patients take it when they get home so they don't get constipated....I think that is what got the gas a Rollin LOL)

Snack

protein shake,

Lunch

Protein shake, tomato soup, yogourt (did much better) 

Snack

protein shake and a bit pudding that I used to take my Tylenol.

Supper 

will probably be more soup with protein shake and pudding if I can handle it. Feeling pretty full right now. 

I have aver also been sipping throughout the day. 

I used Gas-x Strips when I was early out... gosh did they ever help....along with the walk walk walking and sip sip sipping! After 3.5yrs out, I still keep gas-x around "just in case" 

:)

What can we use for this breath? Good lord I could peel the paint off the walls!!!!!
