  1. Yes, and I had a ct scan and the surgeon didn't find anything and as referred me back to my primary care giver which I see on Thursday. Surgeon said it isn't the surgery yet it has been this way off and on since I woke up from surgery! I'm so frustrated because it really hinders what I can and can't do! I guess the good news might be that since the 3 of us have this same pain maybe it's normal. But I will update on Thursday and let you know what my doc. has to say.


  2. Sky2015- today I had a little bit of hunger when I woke up at 6:30am and a little tonight after I walked, but a few sips of Water takes care of that rather quickly. My family has been eating their normal junk food around me and it doesn't seem to bother me! Even the smells of the pizza they had for lunch didn't bother me. I went out today to bed bath and beyond and bought some small appetizer forks and spoons as well as very small glasses and glass condiment bowls, that way I'm taking small bites and my 2 ounces of juice is actually a half of glass of juice in a 4 ounce glass. And my 2 ounces of Jello fills a condiment bowl! A lot better than a dollop in the bottom of a big bowl.????


  3. Update: My surgery was successfully performed on April 15. I am doing extremely well yesterday and today. I had terrible pain from the gas they fill you with and I will say that in the second night I was in so much pain and I panicked and thought what have I done. Now I'm not telling anyone this to scare them but to reassure you that it does get better and even though I thought I made a horrible mistake the night after my surgery and it was painful, I got through the night and it's amazing!! The pain is better everyday and I am excited for what life has in store. My advice is talk to your doctors and nursing staff don't be afraid to tell them your in pain and have a good support system. And one last thing WALK, WALK, WALK!!!


  4. Such a relief to hear from someone who has just gone through the surgery and is doing well!!! I hope you have continued relief for on those terrible gas pains!! I had that when I had my hysterectomy and they are so very painful!! Good luck in your journey! I'm scared and excited for the new chapter of my life to begin!!????
