Thank you! I do feel better today!

I do feel better today! It was weird! I had pain on that side of my stomach when I first came home from surgery but it only lasted about a week! This was different! Maybe I just did to much yesterday!

Thank you Kimo for posting! I hope that is all it is! It just scared me because it came on all of the sudden!

Ok I am kind of worried, we got back from the store and I sat on the couch and started having a pain in my abdomin, it hurts to the touch right by my belly button! Has anyone had this happen! I am 3 weeks out and have had no complications so far! So a random pain worries me! Not trying to ask medical advice just want to know if anyone else has experienced this or something like it! It doesn't hurt all the time just when I try to get up or if I touch the area or bend over!

Well I had my surgery on Thursday 14th they also had to repair a hernia. I wasn't as scared as I thought I would be. But when I woke up I was in extreme pain, and I don't handle pain well. So they got me hooked up to a moriphine pain pump and it was good for a while but I needed something more so the gave me a shot of dylotin now that really helped it made me want to sleep. But there is no getting sleep in the hospital they are always coming in to check on something. The next day they did the upper GI test and I had no leaks so I could finally start having liquids. I got to come home on Friday. Still having a hard time with pain but keeping up on the pain meds. Today I got up and have walked around my street several times. And I have been trying to get my Protein in with the Isopure but it taste horrible!! And I took my chewable multi Vitamin which was also gross and my sublingual B12 wasn't bad. And the doctor prescribed pepsid and a med for nausea so I have taken both of those today plus I have to get in my meds I was already taking before surgery! DANG there is just so much to take in and it takes so long to get it in! I was kind of bummed when I weighed my self when I got home I had not lost any weight but gained a few pounds! And there has been times where I wish I had not done this but it's just because of the pain I can't stand to be in pain! Does anyone else get gas from all the protein and if so what do you do for it?

I am also having surgery on feb 14th! Happy Valentines day to us! I also started my liquid protein diet! It is a daily struggle. I miss food! What are you drinking and is it working for you?
