Dr. sent me home right after, and I felt great yesterday -- but have been feeling yucky all day. Well, worse as the day goes on. I feel like I have MORE gas inside of me today (I know, not possible), but I am expelling it, which I guess is good. I've had some Water and a couple Protein drinks today. I'm just wondering if anyone remembers their day after surgery. What was it like? I feel like I need some support, so I'm turning to total strangers in this forum. Thanks.

Youre a teacher? Me too - english. Oo thats a good idea to set a goal for the next day, & if the kids force you into action well... what can you do!?

Its 1 week ago now..no pain no meds,no probs except...no poop. Seriously. Feel bloated and taken 2 lots of laxative now & still nothing. I guess a week of clear liqiids just makes pee & theres nothing to come out? Today i start a week of non clear liquids, soups smoothies etc. Hopefully that should start something off.

Have you dealt with head hunger yet? Last night i really wanted a takeaway & a beer...even though i didnt. I can never overeat again. slightly scared about that.

Hi, K. -- Yes, I'm a writing teacher (college). I have to teach for four hours straight on Tuesday and I can't wait. I'm going a little buggy (my surgery was on Monday). I did poop (my major accomplishment of July) and I wasn't expecting that! I don't know where that came from - oh, I know! 35 years of bad eating! And this is what my diet is now consisting of: Water water water + coffee in the morning, Protein drink, creamed soup for lunch, Protein Drink, cream soup for dinner, protein drink. And today I think I'll mix it up and -- do exactly the same. BORING. I could go see people, but why bother when I can only sip sip sip. I don't have head=hunger, but I have "memory" hunger -- like "it's 7pm, time for a burger and fries." Thank god I didn't drink or I know I'd be craving that. And we will be able to over eat -- and over-vomit. So we'll just have to pick one or the other. Does life sound grand?
