Today is my first day home. gas pains are bad today. Gas X strips do not work. The chewable ones do. I never knew passing gas could feel so good. But then once I started passing gas I've had diarrhea all day. Every time I drink water' date=' take meds or Vitamins I am headed to the bathroom. And asking my husband to wipe me is humiliating.

One week post op appointment I lost 13 pounds!!! No refried Beans yet :/ I have to wait til next week. But I get to have cream of wheat, oatmeal, V-8 juice, Greek yogurt, unsweetened almond milk, Soup like split pea, Tomato and butternut squash. So at least I get a better variety. Remember everything is low or no sugar. I pre-made my meals for the rest of the week tonight. Greek yogurt should be less than 10g of sugar. The Soups I still mix with a little Water. I take the yogurt I chose and stirred it up and split it in half to make two servings.

Surgery was Tuesday. Have been doing really great. Was taken off iv yesterday and stared sips of Water. Had my first Protein Shake yesterday evening. Took me a while to get down and had a lot of Belly grumbles but tolerated it pretty well. I have waked a mile each day so I am doing great with that. Anxious to go shower then go home. Should be around 10. I hope everyone else is doing well on the mend.

So I've been finding I have a bit of bad pain on the right side of my belly and when I get up to walk I have to "hold" my stomach. Soooo I bought some control top panties with extra support (seriously these things come up to my boobs lol) and now the pain is almost gone!! I can now walk around and do things with minimal pain. Woohoo for control top panties lol
