Today is my 3rd day after surgery and Im still feeling the gas. My dr and nurse said not to take anything for it because it wont help, only time will. I cant get anything down. I just cant wait for this part to be over with and feeling better and able to hold down liquids.< /p>

I've always heard, in general, the third day after any surgery is generally the hardest. Not sure why and I'm sure it's not true for everyone. But hopefully it's smooth sailing from here and you start feeling lots better. (Surgery 11/25)

Yeah the Dr nurses mentioned something about that. I think it could be because now im not on meds from the hospital or getting a IV anymore. Thank you though for your thoughts!

I used gas x strips and they worked within about a half hour. Also, I slept with a heating pad on my belly the first two nights home. Took all the swelling down. The nurses in the hospital started the heat thing before I was even awake.

Congrats!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
