Hello everyone! I wanted to go ahead and start an August surgery group. With everyone's date rolling in, I figured it was time! My surgery is August 2 and I am nervous and excited, but mostly ready to be done!!! How about everyone else?

I had open gastric @ug 12th and was wondering was it ok to sleep on your stomach....and has anybody have problem sleeping at night?... I also wanna know if anyone has night time hungers and any suggestion on what you would do?

I had a open cut gastric on the 6th.. I tried this week to lay onmy stomach but it hurt so I got off quick, same with my side. So back to the recliner for a while.

I hav felt a lil hungry so I try crunchy like popsicles or peanut butter, or peaches or pears..

How do u feel cause i'm still weak n bout pass out if I stand to long. I still hurt but everyday gets better. I gotta get past the weakness to walk around more. Just a shower wipes me out.

Hope this helps u.

Sorry my crazy fone sent it twice, or part of it. Lol

Yes i've stated vitamins. Oh I no the feeling about going crazy. I am very energetic n i'm sure not use to my husband n daughter doing as much, plus they don't do it like me, but i'm grateful. I caught then gone n vacuum, my mother in law caught me n fussed, because I about passed out. So i'm trying to take it slow. Today is first day I've got to hi back to church i've missed that, i'm in pain but at least i'm pushing out. U take care keep in touch.

Last night I had my first big dumping. Shew it was awful!! All I ate yesterday wss oatmeal which idk if I can have but late last night I ate a few peaches n I felt my chest ball up n it felt like it kept getting bigger, I told my husband pray! Then I gag twice n that was it it started projectile. Yuk!! No more oatmeal for me.

Glad you're doing ok Ms shay. .I will be praying for a speedy recovery.

Thank you so much, and it was a blessing at church. I wish I could have stayed for night to Service, but i'm hurting. But I can say God is good!.

Just went through another dumping....I am having a break down because this is to much and the worst feeling...For the past two days seem like nothing wants to stay down...everytime i take a bite or even a sip i start to get dumping...=( Im trying to stay strong..but it's so overwhelming

I just brought peaches to make a peach protein shake. You've got me scarred now. I threw up for the first two days home so I don't want to experience that again.

Faith did your Dr. Give u nausea medicine? When I through up it was just from motion sickness and the medicine helped tremendously. That's what that had me use in the hospital to because I would dry heave when I moved around. I hope u feel better!

I don't think it was the peaches. Because i've been eating peaches for a while n I did fine. I think it was the oatmeal that had me blocked n I just piled fluids on top of it then the peaches n that's wen it decided to come up. I really believe it was oatmeal.

.

Oh ok I may try them then. When you felt the blockage did you take the papaya enzyme? I've heard it works wonders.
