Back in the hospital
Long story short I was having such bad gas pain that I couldnt breath. Went to the er and bought myself an overnight. So frustrated I dont know what I did wrong. I was told that they see a spot on my catscan that they want to look at. So antibiotics and a dye test in the morning. Kinda nervous because I never have a fever and today I did. I keep thinking I made a mistake and what if this is some kind of infection and itt doesn't end well? Anyone else have a similar complication?

Well this is a new pain
Last night I had to get out of bed and sleep sitting up on the couch due to some incredible low left back pain. Could this be gas? Today it's hard to breath and I feel like there is a big gas bubble in my upper belly area. Is this normal? I was sleeved on Tuesday and I have been walking for the most part since the surgery so I don't think that I am stiffening up. I also hear a lot of gurgling and churning....should I drink some more or does that mean that I'm full?

2 Days Post Op Question
Not sure why but I am sticking to just sugar free jello and some propel water. Is there anything else I should try? I am nervous about over doing it.

First Post Op Post
Well surgery yesterday went well. Little sore but thats to be expected. Not as bad as I thought though. Walked a bit yesterday and did a few laps this morning around the unit. So far so good though.

And tomorrow I will be posting as POST-OP
So excited that today is the day, also a bit nervous but I'm completely confident in my surgeon and being in the medical field for about eighteen years now I tend to think I understand a bit more than the typical patient. Well wish me luck everyone. See you on the other side after I leave the old me behind.

Alcohol
I know it's taboo but is it true that you get very sensitive with regards to alcohol? I'm not a huge drinker but every once in a great while I like a glass or three of some nice Tullamore Dew. Someone told me that now a shot would do me in. Any truths to this?

Losing steam!
Nothing terrible its not a liquid diet. I usually have a shake in the morning and one for lunch and I've been eating 2oz. Tuna with 1oz. Light mayo on a slice of toasted rye with 2 cups steamed broccoli or carrots with a cup of strawberries for desert. If I get real hungry during the day I have a Greek yogurt 0% of course. Maybe I'm just getting anxious and impatient.
