Really decent. Just got this horrible feeling in my chest/upper stomach area. Every time I take a drink. Guess it's still gas Because I comes and goes.. So that's what I think it is?

I had surgery on 10/24 and came home on 10/25 . I am feeling a luttle out of source and really scared to try anything other than water and chicken brith. Have any newbies experience the sam feelings

Welcome to the forum! You will find tons of supportive people here who will answer any question or just chat you up about just about anything! Enjoy.

I also had surgery the 24th and came home the 25th. I have that feeling in my upper stomach/. Chest area, kind of "fullness". Could be gas, I just figured its from the swelling and trying to get liquids in.

Yes, I'm afraid of everything, lol. I had a pill I needed to resume taking after surgery and even though my dr said I'd be fine, I was scared to death. I finally took it and was fine. My nurse told me I could take Tylenol capsules, but when I did, I still cut them in half first just to make sure, lol.

I'm managing to get my liquids and Proteins in so far, although I feel like its a full time job. Still swollen and look 8 months pregnant, but the scale showed a 3 lb loss today, so hopefully the extra Fluid is leaving.

Yes I feel the same way about taking the pills too. I just want toget pass th is rough stage. But taking my time to learn about this new life ahead OF me

I was sleeved on Wednesday oct 23 .. Had that annoying upper gas. I highly recommend gas x strips they dissolve on ur tongue and have worked wonders for me. I can pretty much get down any liquid all kinds of soups and once in a while a hunger pain even.. Might be a thirsty pain I don't even know still confused lol. I haven't been on the scale since surgery but already noticing a difference in just my face alone.

Def gonna try the gas x strips. Thanks. Yeah I hate that I'm nervous about everything my body is doing and I HATE it. Defat the Y THE HELL DID I DI THIS STAGE. :(

Don't be nervous just be taking small sips at first of something and if it goes well try a little more. Their is nothing to be scared of. I had squash soup bisque today sounds funny but it was kinda tasting butternut squash it was so yummy. I can't Stand broth. I even made minestrone soup and strained it so I had only the broth. It's mostly in ur head mind over matter. If u try something and say I think ill like this and not be worried about the pain it will probably work for u. I have strong will power lol and only being 5 days out feel pretty much normal
