    Today I hit a milestone. As some of you know, my mom is on a kidney transplant list, has been for over 2 years. She is an extremely tough match and no one in the family matches, but I am, by far, th

Just got home. Trying to sip away. Thank god the IV's are out. My pouch doesn't like Gatorade or broth yet but is doing fine with water. 5 more days then into full liquids. Hope everyone else is doing well!!????

I had surgery on Monday and am now home. I really don't want anything other than water. I have to get in 4oz of water an hour it is difficult. Feeling pretty well.

My surgery was feb 4 and I didn't poop until the 8th...I didn't start farting until 3 days later.....and never burped once while I was there. I hope they let you leave soon soocer mom!!

I am now up to 2 suppositories, 2 enemas, and a dose of reglan to stimulate my gut....all they really need to do us leave me alone for a day or two and things will return to normal but apparently that answer will not work for my doc. I'm also doing the bariatric sugar-free diet...3 ounces of water an hour then an ounce of apple juice and an ounce of broth or sugar free jello. My protein intake is zero and I'm maxing out at less than a hundred calories a day. I'm weak and shaky with a horrendous headache, go figure. I am miserable!!!

You can have gatorade after surgery?? I didn't know that.... That is great news..

I am so sorry to hear that. I didn't realize that pooping is so important. My doc brought it up, but wasn't concerned about it. I also don't have to do the super "cleanse" pre-surgery. It's strange how it differs so much. I hope you see some action soon. Maybe prune juice???

Hang in there Hun! Hopefully tomorrow everything will work out in your favor.

Yup, they're holding me another night. No way in heck would Mr. Strict bariatric surgeon let me have prune juice!!! There's just nothing in me to move!!! I did nothing but shakes for 2weeks then my last 3 days before surgery had a GI bug and explosive diarrhea...so,here I lay :). Better safe than sorry, but I know if he'd just give me a day or two this would resolve on it's own. AND!!! He'd already ordered a third enema!!! Told him no, not tonight, I cannot handle this again tonight.

Omg they are gonna give you so many enemas you are gonna blow an o ring! Tell them to lay off your booty duty!

I don't understand what they think they are going to get out of there....I'm so sorry.I hope you escape soon. I'm doing so so.....still lots of pain and nausea. I now have a thriving case of thrush so I start on meds for that tonight and now I have to start taking Probiotics.....I don't know how I'm going to fit all this in here. I have turned to the "new whey" protein shots to get my protein in a smaller package, but they are gross. Stomach cramps and still feel like I'm getting kicked in the gut.....still on the lortab elixer, but it makes me nauseous...... I hope everyone else is doing better.

Katt77 I hope you get to feeling better soon!

I am baffled. Understand the need to pass gas, really do, but 48 hours post-op, being this obsessive seems overboard!!!

Hope you feel better soon Kat!!!

I wonder, have you asked them If there is something that's concerning them?? I wonder if there is a reason that they aren't giving you an answer for ya know.

While not enjoying what's been happening to my butt today, it's pretty wild to just absolutely not have an appetite....drinking the water is driving me nuts, he wants you to get exactly 3 ounces an hour, no more, no less. I absolutely could drink it faster....trying to behave though.
