  1. Any if you still taking the pain meds? I don't feel I need it as I'm not in any pain and it just make me sleep all the time which prevents me from getting all my fluids in. But the hubby is scared I started hurting and it take forever to catch-up per say. [emoji259]M[emoji259]
  2. I was sleeved on Monday. Everything was really great except for the gas pains. It was all in my shoulders an I couldn't lay down only on a recliner. But it was gone in about a day and a half. I even went shoe shopping with the hubby on Tuesday that's how great I was feeling. Now last night I woke up with some crazy ass heartburn and ended up taking Mylanta. Worked great but doc just said to do Pepto diluted instead. Not having any problems with my water intake only to keep increasing. From all I've read I'm really having it easy and I'm shocked about that too. [emoji259]M[emoji259]
  3. Well just got woken up from a deep sleep to some serious heartburn. All I have here is the chewy tums like a starburst candy and Zantac. Terrified to take either so I woke my dad up to bring me to Walmart and got some mylanta and it's working wonders. Didn't think I'd have to worry about that whole just drinking water!!!!

  4. All went great. Yes I'm home as of this morning. Only thing I had problems with was the gas pains in my chest. But once that was gone it's been amazing. Crazy how on Sunday I had some serious migraines from not eating and here comes today and nothing. To know our body talked to us before but we just didn't listen. I go back on Monday for post op appointment. I weighed myself today and down 5 lbs so far. I'm not having a hard time with the water but the pain meds kinda hurt going down. [emoji259]M[emoji259]
  5. When did you have yours? I had mine on Monday and haven't had a bm yet but sure am passing gas a lot. [emoji259]M[emoji259]
  6. Why 7 holes? [emoji259]M[emoji259]
  7. Like we went shoe shopping yesterday. I literally don't feel as though I even had surgery. Of course I've never let surgery hold me down for anything I always push through, but sure wish I had it in me to milk it for a few days[emoji23][emoji23] [emoji259]M[emoji259]
  8. See I'm no longer in any pain but hubby doesn't want me to stop taking meds just yet in case something happens, but OMG this itch got me feeling like I'm on crack or something!!! [emoji259]M[emoji259]
  9. I was told Tylenol only. But I have a huge bottle of liquid hydrocodone so I won't need anything else for a while[emoji23][emoji23] [emoji259]M[emoji259]
  10. Glad to hear that your doing good. My gas pains is just about gone. Thank goodness. I'm peeing good to. Still a lil hard to take really deep breaths. Going to try and lay in the bed today as this recliner sucks. [emoji259]M[emoji259]
  11. Not to bad. Cant really sleep. Recliner sucks. I'm not physically able to lay down in the bed I get severe shoulder pains when I try. Other than that I'm feeling really good. I've also been walking a good bit. [emoji259]M[emoji259]
