I'm so excited and so nervous at the same time!!!!

Hi everybody! Not maybe complaints beyond gas and drain site! I've been allowed ice chips..and it has been a blessing! Using dilaudid when necessary. Gas is a pain..I have been belching but not from the right end! :-). Day one complete..may we all recover well!

Hope you are all feeling well, welcome to the losers bench ????

I have had gas pain, and pain in my neck as well. My throat is a little sore from the breathing tube. I am doing well I was walking all over the hospital. I am home now and doing well. I only have 3 holes, they didn't do the liver biopsy because it looked great. The took my stomach out of my belly button, and I have a hole in each side of my belly button. I am excited for what is to come and wondering how long it will be before I can drive!

I have the same gas pain as everyone, 6 incisions and they each are extremely sore and painful. I've been taking pain killers which seem to help a little bit, and drinking liquids is much harder than I thought. This isn't as easy as I thought it would be...

It's tough. So far I've had one 16 ounce bottle of Water and 1 cup of broth today. I'm not sure if it's nausea or pain, but even little sips don't feel great going down. I haven't taken any pain meds, nausea meds or Gas-X today. I just didn't want to mask anything today to see how I'd do. Probably stupid, but I'll find out as the day goes on.

Yesterday my first day home..I had a 16oz bottle of water, 4oz of protein shake and 2oz of broth..I tried to start a little earlier today! Guess since surgery on Monday you shouldn't expect the moon!

i looking forward to purée next Monday too!!! I've been eating Greek yogurt with cinnamon and Splenda..I'm out and going to the store in the AM and replenish that item!!

Oh I really don't care for the Greek yogurt taste. Next Monday??? I have to be on this for a month!

Yes.. Monday. But I've found my love for tomato soup!! Added milk and cheese to increase the protein..forgot to try and add protein powder.. good luck because I understand the shake fatigue!
