Tummy Rumbles

Day 14...My burning question is....How long before my "bottom stomach" stops rumbling? I can be full, but I still get that hungry rumbling. Otherwise, all is good. It's time to mow the yard. I think I'm physically OK to do it...I just don't want to! But I must or people will wonder what's up, and I still have kept this a secret from most people.

Back To Soup And Other Soft Stuff

Day 10 post-op. Today was much better. Yogurt, applesauce, soup, and liquids. I'm getting used to the smaller amount of food...I don't mean my stomach, I mean my brain is getting used to it. I keep forgetting to report the best part...no more heart-burn (could be the band or the hernia repair...don't care) and my knees are feeling better...just by dropping 10 pounds!

First "puke!"

Day 9...OK...How am I eating? Well I had no problem with liquids, soups, pudding, applesauce...all very slowly the past 2-3 days. Today, however, I went too far.

The bean soup and vitamins made me feel better. I saw a comment about being uncomfortable at day 13. Wow...that sounds like maybe there's a problem? I still have a little discomfort where my port is, but it on

Day 7, 4/29/2012

This is day 7. My surgery was last Monday, 4/23/2012. My lovely daughter-in-law took me to the hospital...an hour away, at least. The worst part has been having to cough during the first few days. I went back to work Wednesday, day 3. I was very sore and tired, but I got through it. I'm not telling friends and family, except my sons, daughters-in-law, and 3 people I work with. Not everyone is supportive! I was able to have lunch at Chili's yesterday, with one of these people, and she didn't no
