Lol good to know!

Sweet things get old,ie protein shakes. Wish I would have done some research into protein options that aren't sweet. But I bought my shakes so I'm gonna drink em and like em.

I'm 8 days PO.

You WILL have to eat slow.

hummm let me see.1. i didn't know my stomach would make loud noise "forever". 2. chronic constipation and that is with treatment. 3. i miss eating. it feel like someone shot my best friend. i had surgery for medical reasons, and it has helped. honestly i didn't mind being fat. i guess i would mind being dead. good luck and get gas x.

I wish I had known to start taking 3 stool softener gel tablets per day from the time I got home from the hospital. They seem to really help with the constipation but it took me a while to find that out.

BRING CHAPSTICK WITH YOU!! That was the biggest lifesaver!!

Chapstick, FYI super hydrate before you go in. You may go 24 without sipping on anything, that means ice chips either. Have something to suck on to produce saliva.

What do you suggest to suck on? I didn't realize you couldn't have any Water or anything for 24 hours.

I have read these forums forever...and I wish I would have known that there is a possibility that you would feel flu like after surgery... I am 4 days post op and feel like crap!!! No pain where surgery was.. just freezing cold...no energy..and gas moving through me like a freight train...and it wont come out...also a freaking killer migraine and stiff neck from the hospital bed.. not to complain or anything... lol

I'm sure you did the upper GI to prep you for the surgery - which i did of course. My advise if you have any ulcers or an infection that needs treatment and antibiotics get that done and healed up before surgery. I had both and dr went ahead with surgery - it's been three months of hell. After surgery taking pills isn't as easy as you think and most of them made me nauseous and vomitted around the clock.

Wish you the best :-)
