Congrats! U look amazing!

Oh man I hope not :-( I've been having milk and some cheese since I've been home and I'm 10 days out. Creamed soups with milk everyday. Thanks Lou, ill keep that in mind and email my dietician in the am to see what she says as well.

I had 1/2 cup of creamed soup and a black tea with 1 splenda and a splash of 1% skimmed milk. All of which I'm allowed to have. The only thing I can think of is my tummy didn't agree with tea. I haven't touched tea or coffee since the beginning of March. So I think I will be avoiding tea from now on. Almost three hours later and the pain is starting to go away.

I don't know what is going on with me at the moment but my stomach is in some serious pain! Feels crampy and abdominal pains all through my belly. I feel constipated, but I'm not. I'm shaky ciz it hurts so bad. Started about 2 hours ago shortly after I ate. I haven't eaten anything I'm not supposed to so I dunno what's going on. But omg the pain is practically making me yell. Holy crap this feeling sucks so bad :-(

I know. Friday my allergies were in full mode. Sneezing made it feel like my stomach was being ripped open. Not fun :-/

Omg I sleep like crap. I'm up every night at 330am and struggle to go back to sleep. So around 6ish I just get outta bed. And no more pain meds left to help me sleep.

Ill be one week post op tomorrow and I feel about a good 90% better. One more week and I get moved onto pureed food woohoo! Enjoyed a nice glass of V8 juice today and it was so delish! Hows everyone else doing? surgery date - Apr 5th/2013 9am

Hang in there jules!! :-) surgery date - Apr 5th/2013 9am

So I've been finding I have a bit of bad pain on the right side of my belly and when I get up to walk I have to "hold" my stomach. Soooo I bought some control top panties with extra support (seriously these things come up to my boobs lol) and now the pain is almost gone!! I can now walk around and do things with minimal pain. Woohoo for control top panties lol surgery date - Apr 5th/2013 9am

It really is!! I mean I went into this very well planned and prepared. But when I came home I was like hmmm how am I gonna do this lol its still a work in progress but I'm only a few days out. I figure by the end of next week ill have a good schedule going of everything and it'll all start going more smoothly. surgery date - Apr 5th/2013 9am

Lol me too surgery date - Apr 5th/2013 9am

I had no catheter at all or drain tube. And they had me up drinking water as soon as I was in my own room after surgery. Seems its done so differently between here and there lol as long as the outcome is the same I guess that's what matters! Congrats on being able to drink! It tastes soooo good doesn't it lol surgery date - Apr 5th/2013 9am

Today was a good day for me. Still struggling to get my Protein in but they called me today and said it will all eventually happen. The first bit its difficult and overwhelming till u get on schedule and organized. My energy is starting to get up again and each day I feel abit more better. So happy to finally be on the losers bench. How is everyone else doing? Are u getting enough liquids into you and taking all ur Vitamins? I love hearing everyones storys :-) you all are such an inspiration and great motivators! surgery date - Apr 5th/2013 9am
