My husband was considerate he ate in the room and not in front of me when he could. I am 9 days post op and have started puree foods .Lost 23 pounds on the liquid diet and another 12 so far YOU CAN DO IT THINK OF YOUR RESULTS. .....

Look great keep up the good work .. I am in the beginning stage

I have bad knees but use the arch trainer see if they have one at your gym ..

I was not given a sex restriction either and my husband is patiently waiting ..If he loves u tell him the truth and he will wait.

Do anyone know when I will have more strength to walk clean house etc?

KIM I was taking the daily softner and it did not work will have to try prunes that always worked in the past my pain on my left side is less I took tylenol today as the pain pills are part of my constipation .I want to walk but het real tired still need to force myself little by little.

Im with you lets try the prune juice 50/50 I am getting some tomorrow

It got so bad for me this morning I had to get an Enima I had been taking ducalax daily but still did not work ..It was horrible I need to stay regular as much as possible

What can I do to not be constipated do I need to take a daily softner?

1 week after you start soft /pureed foods so today I will have scrambled egg then lunch cottage cheese then dinner refried beans but still have to have a shake in between.

I had my surgery on August 4th not loving it lets say its painful on the left side and the gas they fill you with takes a while to get out of your system as I still have it I am just now able to start puree / soft foods .I just had some egg could only eat about half of the scrambled egg ..but just the flavor in my mouth was so awesome .

Ok as I did just swallow 2 gas x .to see if it will help

When will the rumbeling stop ..My intestines and rumbling non stop i feel like it will never end what can I do ?? Is it trapped gas still??

I seem to be doing ok but when I sip the wayer it feels like more gas is going down with it I am 6 days post op . I was putting water enhancer in my wayer as it tasted nasty right out of surgery .. But I was tired of the sweetness so I decided to just handle it and drink it plain . Only advise I can give is to have it next to i at all times

Thats awesome can wait to do this myself I am 6 days post op

Ok thanks I did go out yesterday with Hubby we took the dogs swimming I dat in the shade but it was 105 degrees .When we were leaving I felt bad but when I got home I was ok maybe I am paying for yesterday ..

Today I feel very nausuas took a pill but been crying since this morning as I dont feel well ses like every time ai swallow I am creating more gas in my stomach ..Just took a laxative as have not had a bm in a couple of days ..Hope tomorrow is better..

Left side were the biggest scar is painfull a little bit emotional today tired of protien shakes already but I do get to move to soft pureed on Tuesday cant wait .Still have alot of rumbling in my intestines I guess is that normal?? Trying to walk more but get really tired even just to the mailbox and back ..
