V-lite

Hi BelmontLil and everyone else! I am a chat/blog virgin - so here goes! I had my surgery 5/24 (I'm an Aussie and hope I did the date right...) Anyway yes the gas pain was baaad for 3 or 4 days after the surgery. I did feel full for the first time in my life after eating the clear fluid diet. I am now thru mushies and into solid food. I have really had to change my eating habits - instead of chomping and gulping - chew, chew, chew and then some. I haven't had any vomiting. After the surgery when I got home I had psyllium in warm water to get the bowels moving with great success, but I drank too much once and felt so ill and bloated - it was a good lesson in not eating too much at once. I am a Coeliac (celiac in America I think) - can't have wheat, oats, barley, rye or it destroys the villi in the small intestine, and you get malapsorption. I have had great success with gluten free bread. best wishes to everyone
