Well I had my surgery on Thursday and I've been home since Saturday evening.  I feel horrible, all of this gas is driving my stomach crazy.  Plus I'm always thirsty and would just love guzzle some water down.  I know they say it gets better over time but I can't wait for that time to come.  I hate feeling like this.

Hope everyone else is doing well!



 
Loving my new life and all the wonderful things that go with it, on to my next journey!  99 pounds down and about 10 more to go but it has been a heck of a ride...

 Good luck to you!  I was absolutely miserable for about 2 weeks after surgery with the gas and all around crappiness.  It does get better and you don't really have a choice but waiting it out but just feel better knowing that it will pass!  

Congratulations on your surgery!

I feel your pain girl. I had surgery last Monday and I'm just STARTing to feel a little bit more normal.  I get so exhausted just walking to the mailbox or up a flight of steps. The pain is pretty much gone for the most part. Now I just really have to focus on MOVEing. All I'm saying is thank god the surgeon had me take 4 weeks off from work. I'm going to use them ALL. lol

Good luck with everything! And remember, it WILL get better!!
