Thanks. I got my dad buying me some as we speak iamready4this

Im 2 days post op and I can feel you about your stomach feeling full for hours. Im on puree and I can get about 1.5 oz in but it is a struggle. I am suppose to get in 1.5 oz-4 oz of puree protein 3 times a day. I cant imagine 4 oz of puree protein 3 times a day yet that is far off in the future. I find that when i am eating my puree protein I feel my bowels move slightly then it stops when I finish. Weird iamready4this

Yeah I haven't done the g2 add to water. I been in this little box of using the few things that are helping and maybe next week I will be open to adding more. Kind of like still in shock and adding more items to what I have been clinging onto is overwhelming to me right now. I dont know why but kind of tunnel vision mindset. As I get more days in im sure I will be open to adding more things to add to my water intake. I have a food&water journal and I have been writing down it all to make sure I meet my water requirements. Im at 29.5 oz right now this evening 2 days post op iamready4this

Thank you for your concern. I am home now post op day 2. I am battling the pain moving slowly &looking forward to better days iamready4this

I thought I show some pictures of what is a real aspect of post op. I have a picture of my blenders&sippy cups&measuring cups&scale. A picture of my water & gaterade&shaker bottles. A picture of my floor with me missing the waste can. I figure I wait every 30 minutes to get up and actually pick them up. Bending is not going well for me. Not well for me at all. I am actually living off of sugar free popsicles for my water intake. Water just tastes so bad to me and I havent started with the propel yet. So post op is moving but slowly & painfully iamready4this

Yes keep pushing on! Im in pain and its hard but things will get better. iamready4this

I was discharged yesterday. Im in pain. Im in my recliner right now because I cant do the bed. You will have mixed emotions I am going through that right now. It is a true statement to say it is bittersweet. It will get better. Not there yet iamready4this

I just was discharged today July 21 and I am sore when I move this way and sore when I move that way lol. I am sore when I squat to use the toliet. When I stand up. I will definitely be sleeping in my recliner. The hospital I went to the mattress was so thin! Well anyways. Im sore iamready4this

I know im having mixed emotions too. I am not good with pain. I dont like pain meds maybe the liquid iv one lol. The one I will take at home I dont care for too much. I will ask him in the morning if he would switch me. Actually I had the bypass on July 17. Revision was on July 19. He will look to discharge me tomorrow after my primary doctor sees me iamready4this

I feel you. I had a complication and he had to do a revision. I was suppose to go home yesterday but it will be tomorrow or saturday. Im glad that you are home. Hang in there. It is hard in this beginning iamready4this

Thank you for your concern! I appreciate it iamready4this

Thank you for your concern. He had to do a revision to correct a narrowing. He explained it but i was in so much pain my dad probably understood what he said because I was in my pain. It went well he actually drained out everything so now i dont have to have a drain bottle. I have to stay until saturday or so and start from the beginning. I am on two types of anti biotics also. They have been very nice here. iamready4this

[emoji20]I went from doing well to doing poorly all within a few hours! All of a sudden I couldnt hold down my liquids & last night was a terrible night because of the pain. My surgeon suspected a narrowing and so gave me a ct scan and that was the problem. I had my ct scan at 1pm and a revision surgery an hour later. iamready4this

I have walked one lap around the hallway hours after surgery. Its a nice walk. I walked two laps this morning and three laps this afternoon. Still no passing gas but I am burping after drinking water and broth. Its not real bad like the day of surgery but my nurse told me thats something that needs to happen before discharge. So can you tell me how long it takes? iamready4this

I feel you with the sips. The burp seems like it gets stuck in my throat. I have had 60 ml of turkey broth and 60ml of decaf tea with one packet of equal. I tried the jello but it leaves such a terribly bad taste in my mouth that I just couldn't. I had some sips of water. Water taste horrible to me right now. I also have no shame in pressing for my pain med morphine. They said they will replace it for Norco pill. The nurse told me I have a nutrition class tomorrow. They have not told me how long they will keep me. I live in the south suburbs of chicago iamready4this

Yes God is good & all the time! Praise him! Yes what a blessing I am moving along well. Thank you dear. Bless your heart. God bless you. Yes happy day iamready4this

Youre beautiful too dear! Yes my gas pain was evil lol. They didnt tell me yet how many days. The nurse just walked in and said that I am now on a liquid diet. So I will be taking my first sip as a new woman lol iamready4this

Hello there. Thank you for checking up on me! All is well. The gas pain was hard but it is gone now. I walked a lap around the hallway. It is going great! Thank you for your concern! God bless you too iamready4this

Glad to hear that you are doing well! I am doing well also. My surgery went well and I feel good. I must say though the gas pain was bad for me and it lasted for hours! It was not a pleasant time for me. I did however walk a lap around the hallway just hours after surgery. I am happy all is going well for me. iamready4this
