Having a serious craving for pizza...wasn't even one of my go to foods, but I feel like following delivery guys around just smell it

I was able to sleep on my right side the next day, slept on left about a week out.

lol

Thx Sharon, I'll give it a try.

I am 6 days post op today. Those gas pains are horrendous, aren't they! I have been walking as much as I can and I took a small footstool in to the bathroom. It seems having my knees up a little higher helps relieve the gas. Every day is better and am still so excited! guess I was lucky, mine was about over around day 3, hope it goes away soon for you.

only thing I can say is walk,walk walk..sit up and wait it out. You should be better soon.

hahahaha

Lol, my thoughts too, it was 3 days out for me, felt like a toddler telling ppl I went doodie

if that's the case, bring on the stink breath!!

I too suffer from this, had a total knee replacement and I need a hip replacement. Only thing I can sug. Is that you get up and move first chance you get. I'm 12 days out and the pain in my hip is so much less. I did lose weight during the pre op process plus the little I've lost since is making things easier...good luck to you and keep moving

The main thing I needed was lip balm. They supplied the gowns and the non slip socks. I took my phone, iPad and charges. All the other stuff is overkill. Take a tooth brush and paste plus mouth wash...the hospital stuff, not so good!

My energy level goes up and down ...once our bodies adjust this will stabilize

have you spoken with your doctor about the nausea? I'm sure they can give you something to try and ease that. If it's any comfort to you, each day gets better, just try and walk and sit up and be as active as possible. Wishing you well!!

Food getting cold drives me nuts! I've worn a trail to my microwave. one pound a day is how I want to lose, well done!

Wonderful! Glad you're doing so well! Keep up the great work:)

thanks Kristina! I'm doing well, how about you?

To each their own, but I won't miss a thing!

Just back from first post op. Drain removed and down 14 lbs in 11 days. . Not to shabby

Kim, sorry that you are going through this. I don't know what type of products you are using for your protein,but I had to try a few different ones to find a taste I liked along with the unflavored one. Keep plugging along and things will improve, remember we are at the beginning of a life long journey

Own beds are over rated..I should have stayed in hospital and get served and pampered!!!

I am sooo looking forward to the purée stage!

glad all went well, welcome on the bench

benefiber works I heard

No need to fret, surgery is easy, you'll sleep right through it!

Yes, walking and sitting up helps.
