I came home today. All is going well. I had a tough time with the foamies within the first 24 hours, but that has all subsided thank goodness. Just for kicks I decided to weigh today and I am down 8 lbs.!! WOOHOO!!

Today I have had some chicken broth, popsicles, a little bit of apple juice, and some hot tea. Along with some ice chips of course....

Thanks to all of you for the unlimited amount of advice and support!! Yall are great!!

Karen

glad it is going well :scared0: I am right where you are, hon!

I am SOOOO bloated in my abdomen and have the worst gas and reflux. How are these things going for you?

Yeah! Well done - good to hear you're home.

Congrats on the 8lbs!

Kathy

Karen, sounds like you are doing good. Congrats on the 8 pounds loss.

Deb

Congrats Karen...glad you are doing so well!

I'm glad your surgery was uneventful! Take it easy now and be gentle with yourself.

Glad it went so well for you. Gratz on the 8 lbs.

I dont have the bloating in my abdomen anymore. That lasted about 24 hours for me and then it seemed I just turned a corner and started feeling better. Walk walk walk....my doc said gravity is your friend!! And sure enough, it seemed that everytime I walked it got a little bit better

My surgery was on the 22nd and I'm not feeling so hot. My incisions aren't painful so I'm not taking my pain RX. But I'm bloated, bloated, bloated! I'm taking my Gas X and nothing is happening. I'm walking around the house and around the block too!

By the way, what are the foamies??

Karen-Glad to read you're doing so well!:thumbup:

Songbird...you were probably being discharged as I was coming out of surgery!

Hope you all continue healing!

Lovingly,

My surgery was on the 22nd and I'm not feeling so hot. My incisions aren't painful so I'm not taking my pain RX. But I'm bloated, bloated, bloated! I'm taking my Gas X and nothing is happening. I'm walking around the house and around the block too!

I was bloated too.....I put on 2 inches on my waist! It lasted for about 9 days for me before I was back to normal even tho I was losing weight i was still pumped up! :thumbup:

If you're feeling ill do see your Dr... if yo're just down 'cos of thre bloating don't worry it'll pass, just give it a bit of time.

Congrats and I'm glad you're doing so well! Yes moving around and walking really helps the pain and healing process. Keep it up and you'll feel good as new very soon!
