Surgery Date - 10/2/12

How are you feeling? Have you lost any weight?

Hey' date=' the chopped chicken was at the hospital as my puréed food that I had to eat before I could go home. It was in a tiny little condiment cup with a top and it had chicken gravy drizzled over it. I never had puréed chicken but it was so good, or I could have been really hungry! Lol

After reading your post I tried a small amount of chicken w/gravy ...so far so good. I am so scared of over-filling my pouch.

Has anyone experienced the "dumping" after eating the wrong thing or to much? That's what my doctor calls it. I'm terrified to get sick so I'm very careful but the classes I attended said everyone would experience it 

Is anyone having referred pain in your left shoulder? I had surgery the 15th and have been doing great until tonight. My shoulder is killing me!

I did! I had 2 nights I felt like I had an air bubble stuck there! Crazy, because I had no gas pains in the hospital and 2-3 days later I had shoulder pain. Mine didn't last long, so hopefully yours will be gone soon too!

Thanks! That makes me feel better! I had it last night and its still here so hopefully it will go away! I didn't hardly have any pain so I thought it was odd to have some 5days out.

My surgeon told me that I have more pain on the left because that is where the stapler went in. I don't know if tht is true for everyone but that's what he told me. I just got home today. Been walking a lot. Sipping ok but I forget so ill have to get better at that!! I'm glad everyone seems to be doing ok!

I have the same thing on the left side. I actually had to have packing put in. It hurts so much To get up. I also have lots of gas pain and I can't pass gas. Surgery was 10/18. Still in the hospital.

I agree about not being able to get all your fluids down, last night I was drinking water and apparently drank it to fast and stomach was hurting soooo bad for about 20 minutes. Finally I made myself throw up the water and I immediately felt better. I guess I forgot about the sip slowly rule, as I was enjoying the cold water. Now how am I to get all my fluids in when I have to deal with things like this? I'm praying that will never happen again.

Update: So I had to go the ER today where I had my surgery because I was dehydrated and my potassium was really low. Now I'm on more meds. Also I can't eat anything because everything makes me vomit so I was told to sip all day.

I hope u get better fast!
