On the loosers bench, never knew a burp could feel so good. No real belly pain. Chest tightness and a massive headache

Janel

Anyone taking the gas-x strips... Do you start by taking the recommended 2 strips? Or are you taking 1strip?

I am taking them. I start with 1 and if I don't feel a change in 10 minutes, I get another

Haven't posted in several days. Been having a rought time. RNY 3/11/13. Lots of nausea. Trouble gagging down any protein. Have not been able to get down any of my crushed meds. Pain is significant, although the liquid codeine helps. And the best part, liquid diarrhea. Copious amounts. They were going to readmit me but my sig other-22 years in the Army--said he could get the requisite liwuid into me. And he has, using his Army voice. So enough water but not nearly enough nutrution. I really hope my bowels figure out what they are supposed to be doing soon, cause the constant diarrhea is a nightmare.

Gibby, I am so sorry you're having a rough time. I'm just on Clear liquids right now. I've not started any protein yet. They gave me IV bag of Vitamins in the hospital. I have had quite a bit of diarrhea though. Keep taking little sips of fluids, but don't get dehydrated...if you are maybe being in the hospital getting some IV nutrition would make you feel better. I'll be thinking of you and sending positive thoughts your way. Hang in there

Updated List:

Will post a copy of this in the post op thread as well... welcome every one!! Wow! Prayers are with all of our post op peeps and those of us who are still a big bundle of nerves! Praying for smooth surgeries' date=' no complications and peace of mind for every one!

My surgery was 3/13/2013

Post op, surgery was the 13th. Until today I felt like poop! Today is great. Went shopping a little and got a pedicure. I waited til after surgery for that because I couldn't have polish on during surgery. Tonight I am going out to eat with my family, rather going out to watch. My daughter is here with me from out of town and she has to get to go to her favorite restaurant while she is here. I am still on liquid diet for 4 weeks. Everyday really does get better!

Yay Janel! So nice to hear from you. You will be feeling better soon. Keep us posted with your progress.

On my way home from the hospital now. My daughter went and made sure I have Jello and pudding with Protein and banana ice cubes for my smoothies. So I am set for the night.
