Today 200

How do u know when to eat? I get a bubbly burping feeling when I eat but if I havnt eatin for the day I get the same feeling.. I'm 2 weeks out and really just trying to wrap my head around all this new stuff plz help

I hear ya!!! I want to eat some real food.. I'm almost 2weeks out and can drink but I'm still so thirsty my mouth is never wet my skin is drying out I want to eat some subway and a salad .. when something taste good I'd like to enjoy it instead of lick the spoon and forget about it.. I know it gets better my mother in law did this 2yrs ago and she can eat to a point.. but damn do I really have to wait 2yrs to have a normal life again..or somewhat normal

How do u know ur full.. I'm 2 weeks out and eating mushie foods but don't feel full..how do I know when to stop.. I just rake a couple bites and figure that's good but I only eat like once a day prolly don't even get 300 cals a day.. so how do u know when to stop eating

I am only 6 days out and I'm hating it too lol.. I was just like u on sec day and yes the medicine is horrible but my bf would break up my 30 MLS into 3 10ml doses and delute it with some thing like my crystal lite, only delute with like 15mls though it don't take the taste completely away but it helped.. it gets better now I'm just sore no more dry heiving but still a no go on that Protein lol

This may be a stupid question...but will this cause any issues?

I just started my period...go figure. I guess with stress it came a little early.

I have an IUD so some times its just a trickle. But' date=' with the blood thiner they will give me on my surgery date will that pose a problem?

I guess I should let my surgeon know.

What about "protection" - do I pad up or use a tampon?

I feel so stupid asking this...but this my first surgery ever - and I am a little nervous / stupid about this stuff.

Thanks!!!!![/quote']

I just had my surgery on the 20th and I started my period 2 data before also, my surgen just said to wear a pad and bring some with me cuz changing a tampon will be a lil difficult..I wasn't bleeding very heavy but when they gave me the shot of heprin I woke up with watery blood all over my bed then it went away

I hope your dr. Gave you an Rx for nausea &gas. If not' date=' I'd ask for one. It is a pill that dissolves under my tongue. It helped a lot! Get some rest and use your pain meds. I believe if you can keep pain under control, you are able to heal quicker. I'm 4 days post op and feel so much better. You'll get there...hang on![/quote']

I have one that goes under the tongue but its only for nausea..I wish I had something for gas

This gas is unbearable makes me so miserable even walking doesn't help.. Grrrrr I just wanna scream

Thank u all so much I can't wait till its over

i promise you it will get better the first few days were hard for me. every sip i took it hurt in my chest and tummy taking my pain meds were horrible because i couldnt just swig it back i had to sip it. after day 3 i kicked the 1 oz cups to the side and was able to drink from a Water bottle the sips got easier and easier. hang in there and remember we are here for you.

I hope so.. I'm so miserable I wanna take it back.. I keep gagging which is horrible..and the pain in my chest sux..just want to cry

It will soooooooo get better!!!!! I can relate! Day two was the worst day ever for me so hang in there you will get through this and every day you will feel a little better. Hang in there!!!!!

What did u do to get though

I'm so miserable. When does it get better? I have to sip my pain med ans my chest hurts so bad

Thank u guys so much.. any piece of advice is very appreciated.. I'm so nervous

U can also check this same one out at ur local library.. I have many times.. I really enjoyed it

Pre-op was definitely the worst' date=' and mine was only two days! I barely made it. When I see what others have to do, I'm in awe. The best I can offer is that you'll never feel this way again! Hang in there![/quote']
