the post op journey

I know all about takin' those pain meds like they're goin' out of style! And yes, the port incision is most definitely the most tender...ice packs are an arm's length away for me right now.

I can't start protein shakes till tomorrow and I'm really looking forward to it! I'm so sick of chicken broth. Blech!

Day two has definitely been more difficult than day one. But it'll all be worth it.

Keep in touch! Best of luck!!

I know what you mean about wanting to burp. I want to burp so badly!! haha keep up the good work. This place is such good encouragement for me!

Good luck to all of you! It needed to come out both ends for a couple days before I "lost that gassy feeling". It finally went away. I think walking or even standing up helped a lot!

Take care of you!

I had the worst gas pain, and I wanted to brup all the time just for that relief. And when you do brup "ahh" what a great feeling. That feeling does go away, try not to lay down as much if you are. You are in a great place for support I have made some great friends here. And that scar, there is scar cream you can apply that will help this is the name of the one I have used (Mederma Cream - Skin Care For Scars) my doctor told me about this and It worst great for old and new scars. Keep in touch and all the best to you.

YOU ROCK...
