Sorry, you are having a rough go, but you actually had 3 procedures each having it’s annoying way with you. Just try and keep in mind, it will take time. Lucky you, I can move to full liquid after my telephone call this afternoon, probably. But I am reaching my fluid goals, so all should be good.

Good for you great work. Feeling even better today than yesterday. Pain level way down, had many gasy runs last night but I can feel the reduced pressure today. I am at my lowest since early 90’s. Trying to train my mind to recognize that what I have always perceived as hunger is satisfied with a couple sips of something. oh, last night I woke up nose running so I reached for tissue and blew out a huge clot. Must have been a tube down yonder.

Well 3 days the other side of it, not feel great but better than I thought it would be. Sip, walk, gas xtabs walk some more. Down 10 plus pounds of gas and pound and half must have been my stomach, lol. Onward sipping 3-4 ounces an hour. Sleep intermittently, sip, potty sip, sleep.

Only 5 here but they sure hurt. The gas pain was expected. Sucked on a gas x chewy thing that seemed to help. This morning I am down like 5 additional gas pounds, checked because there was a noticeable difference in size. The belly band feels good on. Had to shower, because I bent over and all hell broke lose. Now just trying to get my fluids in, one sip at a time. W- December Surgery dates???
