I am home!

I got home from the hospital an hour ago... So far, so good!  I was encouraged to try cream of wheat this morning.  First encounter with a questionable food... You sure know when the new stomach says I don't like that!

i am back to protein shakes and jello for now.  Hard to keep on that 15 minute sipping deal.  I am incredibly full.  Still lot of gas pain and my stomach is distended and sore.  But otherwise I feel great.  

Congratulations! Thanks for posting I was wondering how you did! Get rest 

That's awesome Cheryl!  So glad you are doing so well.  Keep walking to get the gas out.  And you've heard the speel  sip, walk, rest.  Lol

Congrats getting thru the first step

Keep drinking, walking and each day will get better.

It's so good to get home, isn't it?  Congratulations!

 Welcome home! I was probably about four days out when I felt pretty normal. That was about the same time I dropped the pain meds to night only, so that helped. :)r

Glad to hear it.  Day 2 is a bit rough... I got no sleep in the hospital so I could just get into bed and sleep but am supposed to be sitting walking and drinking, which is getting old.   Was your stomach very swollen and sore?  Making it hard to walk for me,

No not really. Maybe you still have a lot of gas in there? I didn't really have a whole lot of gas pain. I did get a lot of swelling down low, like around the navel and lower, but that was all.

Yay for home! My first breakfast (day 2 after surgery) they gave me porridge. I had a couple of spoonfuls but was really unsure of it, so I haven't tried it since.

I'm resting better at home, but not sure of what to eat. It seems like I'm constantly eating or sipping on something. :-) Maybe the weather will improve and I can walk. 

Welcome home!

I am dinking one of those medicine cups of premier protein every 15 minites, alternated with a medicine cup of water.  And that is much harder than I thought!  So far I have about half of one protein drink finished.
