Day 5 post op

O.k. ladies and gentleman I had my surgery on 21 Jan in Weiden Germany. I was in the hospital for four days. I think that was the worst part for me. I got a liter of water in me the day after and have increased the intake everyday since. I got to eat my first "meal" day three. I had to force myself to eat and I'm still doing that. I'm getting 4 to 6 ounces of protein shake down at a time and not finding a "full" feeling, so I'm a little worried about that, time will tell. I read a post somewhere here about burping indicating you're full, so I'm using this as a guide. As far as pain I tolerate a great deal, so I would say I feel something uncomfortable and annoying. I did get my period on day 3 even though i had it a week prior, so i do have cramps. I also have gas and will trying the gas x strips as suggested, but everyone is right walking does help with that and highly suggest it! To all getting ready to have surgery GOOD LUCK! You have nothing to worry about.
