Its been 2 years ago that we had our surgery. How is everyone doing ups and downs?

Even with liquids, something will come out.

I was on liquids for 2 weeks also. But my doctor made me do it 2 days before and just clear liquids the day before. Good luck, see you on the other side

Congrats. See you on the other side

I had it bad today. Felt like a balloon that was about to pop. Having uncomfortable gas in my shoulder that will NOT go away.

I joined your blog so I can watch ya'll progress. I think that its great that both of you are doing it together. Praying for yall

My preacher came by afterward and sat with my husband while I was beening transfered to recovery. He is a great guy. He has seen me in through a lot. I work with the youth, so I go along on all the trip, like to beach trip and snow skiing. He told me that I looked better the day od surgery then the day at the water park. LOL If you have someone to come visit you, try to ask them to be positive toward you before hand. I knew he would joke with me. So I knew it would be good. My BFF came by to see me, but I don't remember her being there. I talked to her once I got home. She came and got me yesterday and took me to see Christmas lights and brought me a unsweet tea. She is the BEST. Tried to surround your self with positive people. If you do experience negative remarks. Ignore them, because in a few month, you can throw the weight lose in their face. LOL

Good Morning everyone, Today is my 3 days of post-op mark, I feel good. The gas is finally gone. A hint for those whose stomach os sore afterwards lay a low heating pad on there. It helps tremendously. When you feel the gas come on, drink something hot, like broth, some say applesider( sugarfree). They help alot. Walking will be your best friend. I was told I could have sugar free pudding, apple sauce, jello, and light yogurt. I have a all fruit popsicle in the evening. I am also allowed to drink my protein shakes. These keep me from getting hungry. LOTS of LIQUIDS. The day after my surgery, I drank so much water I thought my eyeballs would float. SOme one on here recommended Benifiber. I have used it once to start the process, it helps also. Gas X and Maalox are my right hand man. Today I am trying to not to have to take my pain meds. We will see how that goes. LOL Today my family is having a Christmas dinner, not only will I not get to eat but it is the first holiday we will have without my mom. She died on Oct. 23. SO, today if I hadnt had this done. I would of been a stress eater and eating to much. I am very much a stress eater. I am praying for will power today. I am going to eat some milked down mash potatoes, and a sugar free pudding. My brother is making me sugar free tea, so splenda has also became my new friend. I am carrying around a a small container of it now. LOL The website and the Facebook site has helped me tremendously. I check here ALL through out the day. E

Aj210. If those no hernia repair, then it will depend on the work that you do. You will be gassy, the next day and will need somewhere to let it loose. LOL. I hope you willbe fine. PJ384, I know the feelings you are having. I was SO excited. I had my husband take pictures of me in a bathig suit , and measured myself so I can have something to go back to compare. I am day 3 of Post-op and I feel fine. All the gas is gone.

My pain is in my shoulder. Got out of house, not feeling that good this evening

I am going to get out of the house today. Hopefully will be okay.

kll274, The protein shakes that the dr. suggested, Oh Yea. They have good taste to them. I will try the Special K one to see how I like it. Thx
