Congratulations! Girrrlll, I don't know how it was for you, but that was a hard row to hoe. Whomever says this is the easy way, don't know what they're talking about! The view from this bench is awesome though :-)

Gas pains! Omg the first 48 hrs were the worst. If anyone out there is in the hospital tonight going through this, the best thing you can do to get rid of the gas is to walk. The first wind is divine relief, lol.

The gas pain really had me second guessing my decision, but almost 72 hours post-op, I can say it ain't so bad. I don't feel hungry. In fact, I couldn't finish a Jello cup in half an hour.

[The long walk home 2]

Hey all i was the 13th of may and all done...just starting to feel human...how did every ones ops go..what you eating.....how do you feel.

I was band to bypass. There was heaps of scaring and I was lucky my surgeon was good enough to go ahead.

It took eight hours..went in to theatre at 7.30 am and was shocked when I woke up at 4 pm in recovery.. Doctor was complaining I broke his back...bless him poor thing.

Yep I'm hearing you...standing and walking does ease the pain. Sometimes you just got to find the courage to get your bum outa that bed tho..

What type of Protein are ypu guys getting in? Like if yoyr do a shake whats in it? I have been sippinh on water' date=' apple juice and a tiny bit of Protein clear liquid which has like 8 g per 2 ounces.. im a little afraid to add stuff..[/quote']

I'm mixing 2 scoops of unjury Protein powder (unflavored) with 16 oz of crystal light and sipping on that throughout the day. I also have SF Jello with added protein. It is not easy to take all of that in in one day. I'm only 3 days post op so I'm too afraid to test the limits of my pouch. Not hungry at all though.

Omg, I still have gas pains. It's terrible. I am out and about with the hubby today. In gonna walk a little in the mall. Sounds crazy but need this gas gone!! I also used a heating pad on my back/stomach which helps with the gas pains. Good luck everyone.

Agreed. The gas is the worst. Mine is usually in my lower back. How long does it take to get rid of the gas?
