Hey everyone! Just started this thread for the post op octosleevers of 2012. I had my surgery yesterday and all is well. Gas pain is terrible but I've been walking around. Full fluid dinner tonight. Sippin on my oh, cream soup and pudding. They saline locked my IV, catheter is out and I love walking around. Nausea and pain are so far under control. I'm giving myself 3 hours to finish this meal

I'm living on three things as of right now which are , chicken noodle broth, 1oz every 2 hrs. And 1oz of juice , Water , or tea every hour or so! Any eating suggestions please reply!!! Good luck to us all!

Delish!!! Not relish! Lol

I am probably going home today tho the pain when my tummy starts grumbling is excruciating. Roxicet makes me sick, i hope they send me home with something to kill that pain!

Just Do It!!!

I'm sipping on 1 oz of Protein shake every 15 mins. My surgery was on 10/3 I still can't move around much

Sipping broth, sorbet, Water, Jello, one ounce every 15 minutes. Tolerating very well, could probably take in more.no shakes for another week. Walking up and down the halls, just a little sore. The tummy grumbling is the only thing really hurting...a lot

Just Do It!!!

I just wanted to chime in that the roxicet was making me really nautious and spitting up. I determined it's either too thick or I'm drinking it too fast. Either way, I watered it down to about 1:1 and sipped it over 15 mins. Finally got it down with no problems and my pain thanked me

I also had my surgery yesterday around 1230. Last night was kinda rough but mostly due to gas pain. I am feeling much better today. Just had my first clear liquid meal. They said I am doing so well I can go home this afternoon. ????

I had my surgery on 10/3 so I guess that makes me 2 days lost op. today is the worst. I'm having a hard time getting fluids in. I made me some Unjury broth that usually tastes pretty good, but it's making me nauseous this morning. I'm sipping on Powerade Zero. The liquid loratab made me throw up last night. I think I took it too fast plus it tasted horrible. I've been up and walked a little bit..to the mailbox and back. Every time I swallow I feel a bubbly feeling/pain in my chest. I guess it's still gas. I hope day 3 is better. I'm going to rest and then walk some more. I would love some tips on getting all the fluid in.

Sweetie for the pain in your chest have u tried gas x strips they disolve on your tongue.. Wear an abdoninal binder it will help u get around better it holds everything in place.

Tanya..yes I have some gas x strips. I haven't used any today but I have been. I couldn't really tell a difference with them but maybe I'm crazy lol

Well I'm sorry I hope it comes off soon. Maybe the binder might help with being able to get up and around better.

Luckily I can move around just fine. It's this stupid gas in my chest.

I'm trying to sip on crystal light now is cold liquid going down better or just room temp? I'm trying to sip an oz really slow but felt really gassy
