April 2013 Post-Op Group

[jrzygrl72 26]

Hi ladies! I am 4 days post op. surgery was April 25th. I stayed two days. I feel so much pressure from gas pains ans having a terrible time trying to pass it. I took the gas x strips , I guess they are working , but still feel extreme pressure. I hope to share my journey with pre & post opers. Where is everyone from?

Doing pretty good today. Ate a scrambled egg' date=' drank a Protein Drink plus a bottle of Water so far. Went for a good walk and in very little pain. I was really worried about being able to take in enough Protein and water but I think I'm doing pretty good. Been writing everything down so I stay on top of it and it helps with accountability. I am so excited and I'm looking forward to the future.[/quote']

I wasn't even worried about mine because it wasn't due but the day after surgery it came and was horrible. I think because of all the blood thinners. I have to give myself a shot of blood thiner every am until 5-2-13.
