Welcome!!! Glad you are doing well

So my gas pain was only bad in recovery. I'm doing good. Got up and walked a long hall, but feel so much better. Did my blue dye test. Still no ice chips until My swallow test is completed in the morning. But i feel great right now.

Being discharged today so cant wait to go home my meals seem to give me the burps i know i have to eat but dont really want to lol. Anyone havubg this problem. The liquid lortab is grossssss worse than cough sryup

Good luck on your discharge!

I am at 9 days out of surgery and I haven't really wanted to eat at all. On full liquid diet and Protein shakes and I am eating on a schedule to help make sure I am getting all Water, protein, and food. If I waited to be stomach hungry I probably wouldn't have eaten yet. Just make sure to sip everything and eat slowly.

Hi every one. Had my surgery wed @8am and was discharged yesterday. I still have a lot of abdominal pain. Its hard ti get up/down on the couch and rolling over in bed is impossible.

I am on Clear liquids for two more days. I am trying Jello for Breakfast..not sure what "full" feels like.

To Skynymeby47- I have not experienced the same feeling but I would try posts on the Feb and March post-op groups since there are so many more of them. Good luck. Keep up with small sips and the Gas-X.

I totally understand. I could only get a SF Popsicle while in the hospital. Now that I'm home I wat by the clock. I'm relying on Isopure Protein drinks. They are fruity & I can tolerate them. I absolutely HATE the liquid pain med but I can't go without it. I hold my nose while I swallow & I quickly put a small piece of ice to keep from getting sick. Stay encouraged.

Yeah I get a lot of burps when I eat and I'm passing gas way more than I used to. My intestines feel full of air most of the time. I do take the maximum GasX I can, who knows how bad it would be without it! OMG that liquid lortab is retched! I'm not taking it every 4 hours, maybe every 6 to 8.

I've almost lost all the extra weight I put on in the hospital--it was about 8 pounds. It's not as exciting to lose those pounds. It feels like they don't count.
