HEY ALL,

JUST A LIL NEED TO VENT FOR A SEC! IM 5 DAYS POST OP, AND DOING ALL THAT I CAN TO DEAL WITH THE HORRIFIC UNEASE IM FEELING! BESIDES THE GAS (THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE ADIVCE IVE READ) IM STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IF I DID THE RIGHT THING! I KNOW FROM READING A FEW POSTS ON HERE THAT THE FIRST FEW WEEKS ARE CRAPPY, BUT MY GOD, AM I GOING TO BE ABLE TO GET THROUGH IT ALL? I DON T HAVE MY FOLLOW UP TILL THE 21ST IF SEPT SO FROM MY SURGERY DATE TILL THEN, I FEEL LIKE A LOST CAUSE! I DONT KNOW IF IM GETTING ENOUGH WATER, ENOUGH PROTEIN SHAKE, ENOUGH BROTH, CAUSE I HAVE A CONSTANT PRESSURE/FEELING IN MY STOMACH! I FEEL LIKE IM NOT EVEN SURE WHAT THE RUMBLING IN MY STOMACH IS. IS IT HUNGER OR JUST THE DAMN GAS? AM I SUPPOSED TO BE TAKING VITAMINS? AM I SUPPOSED TO FEEL THIS FULL FROM SIPPING ON 16 OZ BOTTLE OF WATER ALL DAY? I DONT WANT TO BE A NAGGING PANIC, BUT I FEEL LIKE THATS IS EXACTLY WHATS COMING ON!

IM DEALING WITH THE FOOD COMMERCIALS AND THOUGHTS OF DELICIOUS FOOD BUT I JUST HOPE AND PRAY THAT THEY WAY IM FEELING IS GONNA GET BETTER! I CANT HELP BUT WONDER, IS THIS HEALTHY FOR ME? IM NOT PUTING MUCH INTO MY SYSTEM?

I GUESS, ILL JUST CONTINUE TO KEEP POSITIVE THOUGHTS GOING AND HOPE FOR GOOD RESULTS? IM JUST FILLED WITH A CONFUSED FEELING AND DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH IT! ALL OF YOU HAVE BEEN A GREAT HELP AND MY APPOLIGIES IF IM NAGGING ABOUT PETTY THINGS IM JUST SCARED AND CONCERNED!

THANKS FOR YOUR TIME!

I took some milk of magnessia...it had been a while...moving along great now

MzNelly!!! Girl, I never thought I could get passed it!!! But Im on day 9 and I'm feeling GREAT!! I have to admit, stretching does the trick for me! I lean up against a a high counter and stretch and you have no idea how good the burp feels! Lol the heating pad also worked wonders! Once I feel that tummy ache coming along, I get up, walk and stretch till I burp! I promise you all, IT GETS BETTER!
