My 5 year old did that to me too!

No, he's not yet, my poor husband is getting up with him. My husband is exhausted but I can't help.

Hahaha kids! My little one isn't sleeping his nights either but thank goodness the same night after surgery he started sleeping 4 hour stretches (was 2 before) so that helped a bit since i wasnt able to help but i been getting up the last 2 nights with my husband to make bottle and change diaper.. I am feeling really hungry for the first time today ugghh!! Anyone eles hungry?so far no gas pain at all today and abit sore where my port is

I am starving too! Barely gas pain just port pain! I am so excited for Friday, I can blend soups and add fruit juice and milk to my diet! Hello protein smoothies and better tasting soups other than broth. Anyone else dropping weight fast? I'm down 8lbs since surgery.

I'm going to have the most awesomest protein shake with milk and fruit for breakfast tomorrow. I've been waiting a month for fruit and milk :)

mmmmm i can't wait for a fruit smoothie too!!! i love fruits and i love milk too.. and yes anything but broth please!!! lol way to go girl!!! i am down 6lbs since surgery!

Im down about five pounds. But it fluctuates each day. Im so over the liquids. On Saturday i can have mushies.. Thank goodness!

Today was probably my gassiest day.. But i guess thats good

Today he band kinda hurts. My incisions hurt yesterday.. Still so weird to me that i did this!

And now it sucks because im actually getting hungry and all i can have is liquids! Lol

Glad u all are kicking along.. :)

Weird but my doc said that I could have protein shakes and smoothies since surgery. Weird how all docs are different. Today was my first day on mushies! Sounds kinda sad to say but the KFC instant mashed potatoes that I had were like heaven! Do any of you still have gas pain in your left shoulder? I still do.

My stomach started growling yesterday and this morning even worse... I am also so done with this liquid diet! Lol i still have some pain in my left shoulder as well..hope u ladies have a good day!

Whose got cotton mouth bad??? I sure do!

Curvy, are you getting enough water?

  • Author

curvy i was getting that too and annie is right.. water!!!! drink drink drink! how are ya'll ladies doing ? seems like it's been a bit ? ...

I've had cotton mouth too lately and I've been drinking a ton! I feel back to normal for the most part. I still have a ton of pain in my left shoulder and I can feel large knots. I have been able to move to fish and very well cooked veggies. So far, so good. It's great that people are starting to comment on how I look like I've lost a lot of weight. How are all of you doing? Able to enjoy your family once again?

Whose got cotton mouth bad??? I sure do!

I only had it the first few days after surgery but it was crazy bad. as id be talking it would get worse until I felt like my mouth was full of glue and id have to stop talking! weird!

I have been drinking water but not a gallon yet. Sure feels like I could. I am still getting used to the not gulping thing. I've caught myself a few times. I'm so ready for soft foods but I'm on full liquids for 2 more weeks. Ill abide by the proper diet but soups are getting boring. I go for my post op check up tomorrow. We will see how it goes! :)
