Today is day 4 and what a difference a day makes. Today I was able to get up without any assistance (although it took a bit - mental thing - not at all physical). I am feeling much better and have a lot more energy. Got up, did some general clean up in my home, bit slower than usual but was able to make the bed, sweep, do the dishes and pick up a few items off of the floor (all in the knees, of course). Haven't felt hungry yet, only thirsty. Every time I have my protein shake my stomach bloats up all over again - still have lots of gas/ air in my body. Haven't taken anything yet - read Gas-X is good from all of you.

 

What I need to do is start exercising, walking I guess is the safest way to start. Really cold and icy out so I guess I will do it in my home. I haven't done any real exercising yet I guess I am behind. - Shame on me. Will do some now. I'll let you know how it goes.:confused:

Sounds like you are healing quickly. Walking around will help the gas feeling too. Just start out with 5-10 min. You don't have to start at an hour. I had a bit of trouble with gas because they put alot more in me than usual. It's all worth it though. Congrats.
